Amethyst Mine is open from Monday to Saturday until mid April. There are two guided fatbike tours per day and during the visit you will hear the stories of geology and history in addition to the properties of the gems and the uses of amethyst. You will ride to the Amethyst mine with a powerful, electrically assisted fatbike. Bliss' guide will take you to the top of Lampivaara fell (small mountain) where you can enjoy the very top view of the area, over the Pyhä-Luosto National Park. Then you will be seated in wooden shelter, sipping warm berry beverages and listening the facts and beliefs? of this fascinating purple gem stone. After the story moment you will be heading to the digging area. A part of the open digging area is covered by roof, so amethyst searching is possible also during the winter time. Each visitor will be able to dig for their own personal lucky amethyst. In the end of the visit there is some time to drop by a small “Amethyst Shop” on site. The amethyst of the area is refined into jewellery and other productions.

Great experience for the whole family - wonderful ride through snow-enchanted countryside

5.00We did this tour as a family (49,49,18,15). It was just great - from the first moment we felt super looked after. Kai was also our guide the day before at ice climbing - just nice to us likeable. The e-bikes were top - easy to handle. Then we started through the snowy landscape. First easy on the bike paths and then off through the terrain - just fantastic. A cross-country path through wonderful snowy forests - no one but us. The track is easy and can be mastered easily. The goal: The mine! At first you wonder, as it looks more like abandoned western town, but the report from the mine guide "opens" your eyes. Wonderfully amusing and super informative - great. It is rounded off with our own search for amethysts - this part also gave us all fun - we were successful in addition. So, for us a smooth 1 with asterisks - one of the best tours we've done.

5.00The bike tour to the mine was fantastic. Beautiful paths, attentive guide (Tina) and a great stop at Cafe Lampivaaran - very tasty donuts! The tour of the mine was interesting and searching for your own amethyst was very amusing. The descent on the bikes was the absolute highlight of the tour.
Fun riding the E-Fatbiketo the mine with Tiina

5.00What a great tour we had today with Kai. Electric fat bike are awesome, we booked the 3 hours ride to the amethyst mine. Kai was an awesome guide, took the time to explain everything to us, took cool pictures for us, helped us find the best donut in Finland, etc. The path to the mine is uphill but with the « boost » option you can climb to the top without too much energy. The mine is cool as well but the fat bike is what make the tour quite unique. Would 100% recommend! Next time we try the ice climbing for beginners :) thanks a lot
The best way to visit the mine in winter

5.00What a great afternoon with Kei, our guide who was really listening and super friendly! A few kilometers by Fat Bike before climbing to the mine to discover a breathtaking landscape as well as super interesting explanations from Pascal, responsible on site. I strongly recommend this activity!
