The Pyha-Luosto National Park is a spectacularly scenic nature reserve situated in the remote winter wonderland of Lapland, Finland. The park covers an impressive 142 square kilometre area and comprises Finland’s southernmost fell range, a collage of treeless peaks and deep ravines. These ancient rugged hills feature some unique, age-old forests lit by the Northern Lights in winter and the Midnight Sun during the endless days of summer. The park has many functions, including conserving the area’s exceptional natural features, preserving the indigenous Sami culture, and serving as a popular destination for hiking and tourism. Visitors can enjoy some excellent cross-country and downhill skiing opportunities, as well as visits to an Amethyst Mine and the many historic sites of the Sami people.
