Local & Organic Food Experience in Rovaniemi

We serve dishes prepared by the recipes of local people. The food resembles what locals eat at home every day — because aren’t we all already tired of hearing only about grilled salmon or sautéed reindeer? This dinner is for those who want to experience real Finnish homemade food.

Most of the ingredients used in the preparation of the meal are local and organic. The dinner experience is held in a private venue, and, accompanied by the chef, you are able to discuss local recipes and engage in conversations about life beyond the Arctic Circle. This event is not only a culinary experience but also your ticket to becoming a local for a few hours.

Dietary restrictions or specific dislikes are, of course, taken into account. It is possible to arrange a fully vegetarian dinner — please inquire when booking.

The Lampivaara Amethyst Mine is a fascinating travel destination all year round. The amethysts of Lampivaara fell were born 2 000 million years ago, deep in the bowels of the ancient mountains.

The amethyst mine is open every day between June and September, in October and in Winter  it is open from Tuesday to Saturday. During the guided tour you will learn about the geology that created the amethyst, their properties, the history of the mine and some of the uses of amethyst. After the tour, each visitor will be able to try their hand at digging for their own personal lucky amethyst!

At the end of the visit there will be some time to drop by the small Amethyst Shop on site, where amethyst from the area in the form of jewellery and other decorative items is for sale.
