Tickets

Tickets to the tours can be bought from our Online shop or from Amethyst Shop in Luosto centre (address: Luostontie 4 , 99555 Luosto).  If you depart from Lampivaara café, then there is no need to book the tickets in advance, you can buy them from the café when you arrive.

In our ticket policy, a child is 3-15 years old and children under 3 years-old are always free of charge. We also have a family ticket option. When there are 2 paying adults, every other child (3-15 years old) is free of charge. This means that when there are e.g. two adults and three children, one of the children is free of charge. In this case, please buy the tickets online for 2 adults + 2 children and leave a note to the “Additional information” point that there is one more child joining the tour as well.

Please note! Kindly inform us how many guests you are in total. This is important so we know to reserve enough seats for the transportation. Please note that this is valid for the pre-booked tickets (online shop or Amethyst shop) with the departure points from Luosto centre and Ukko-Luosto parking lot.

From Lampivaara café, you are joining a short trip via the Amethyst Pendolino to the top of the fell. If you are coming on your own directly to Lampivaara café, you will buy the tickets from there and you will always make it to the tour. If needed, the pendolino will drive two times to the top of the fell.
