  • Pick-up

     You will travel to Lampivaara amethyst mine using the Amethyst Pendolino snow train - a special heated wagon pulled by a snow machine.

     Pendolino will take you to the top of Lampivaara fell where you can enjoy the view of the Pyhä-Luosto National park area. Then you will be seated in a wooden shelter, drink warm berry juice and listen to the facts and fiction surrounding this fascinating purple gemstone.
