Hunt for amethyst in a Lapland mine, excavate your own crystal, then ride a snow train through the countryside from Rovaniemi.

“This tour doesn't make much sense if you're starting from Rovaniemi. It's a very long drive and the activity itself is way too short. You spend a whole day on it.

“We had a wet day. So didn't really do any walks. The mine was exactly as expected. Make sure to grab a pulla and coffee from the Cafe. The lunch provided was very good. And our guide had great stories and very willing to take group photos. They even provided chicken nuggets for the picky eaters.”
