Located about 120km away from Rovaniemi city, Lampivaara is also within the Arctic Circle and has its own unique scenery with its primitive virgin forest. A place also known to the locals as a ski destination. You will ride the big snow pendolino (snow train) onto the top of Lampivaara to enter the Amethyst mine.
