Enjoy a guided hike to the mining site, taking in exceptional views from the over 400-meter-high mountain. Notice, this is not the big touristic mine area in Luosto. this is small private amethyst mine. Totally different experience, totally different atmosphere. totally different sizes of amethyst to bring back.
Upon arrival, receive a safety briefing and hear stories about how the mining site was discovered. Then, become a miner yourself as you dig for your own two lucky amethyst stones. With tools and guidance provided, search for not just one, but two stones, each up to the size of your fist.
After your digging adventure, warm up with a hot drink and a local pastry, handmade by UNIQ Lapland. Enjoy the tranquility of the Lapland wilderness with your own private group.
