Your guide drives your small group from Rovaniemi to Pyhä-Luosto National Park, about 1.5 hours away.
Strap on your snowshoes and hike through old-growth forest and deep snow up to the fell tops, taking in sweeping views across the tunturi landscape.
Continue off-track to the Lampivaara amethyst mine, reached by a snow-train called the "pendolino."
On a guided visit inside the mine, learn about local geology and how the amethyst formed, then dig your own amethyst to keep.
Warm up with a fireside lunch snack prepared by your guide before snowshoeing back to the starting point for the return to Rovaniemi.
On request, this trip can also be done on Altai skis instead of snowshoes.
