Overview

In summertime, long days offer great daylight and beautiful colours when reaching the summits. In autumn, the national park is a great place to experience the famous “ruska” time, the autumn season with all its colourful features!

You will continue your hike until you reach the Lampivaara amethyst mine. This is a unique place in Lapland, hidden on one of the hilltops that you can reach by foot to better enjoy the adventure! You will then learn more about local geology, the formation of the precious amethyst and the story of the mine. At the end of the visit, you will dig the soil to find your own amethyst that you can keep!
