      Fun and adventurous experience!
      It was a great experience! We got to climb two times. The guides were really nice. I would really recommend this activity. We took the skibus from Rovaniemi and had no problems reaching Pyhä!

      Great experience
      Our trip with Thya was fantastic. It was the best day of our week! Me (56 years) and my son felt very safe. It’s not hard when you follow the instructions. The beaty of the waterfall is so wonderful. And we were allowed to climb it ! Thank you so much for this great experience.

      A truly blissful and enjoyable adventure!
      We had a really great adventure from start to end! It was tiring but lots of fun and the views from the top of the fell were amazing. Our guides, Inessa and Lyo, were exceptionally patient and helpful in teaching us amateurs how to navigate the snow using the snow shoes. They constantly looked out for us as well, giving us tips and ensuring we kept warm in the cold. We also had the pleasure of hearing many interesting stories from the both of them that helped us understand the Laplands and the culture here much better and that definitely enhanced our experience. Definitely recommend!

      Amazing Adventure!!
      The adventure was amazing!! We booked the 4 hour ice climbing trip and had enough time to climb the wall 3 times each and also eat next to the fire. Our guide Inessa was competent, friendly, helpful and funny. All in all a great time!!

      Scenic introduction to e-fatbiking
      Informative guide, excellent equipment and a tour that was tailored to our needs. My boyfriend is fit and likes a challenge, whereas I am out of shape. We both got a workout that was appropriate to our respective levels while enjoying a beautiful sunset from a strategic vantage point. The guide made sure that we were sufficiently warm at -24 degrees Celsius while explaining the local terrain and culture. Great experience.

      Unforgettable experience
      It was quite an experience! I don't have any rock/ice climbing experience before. My instructor Art was extremely patient and encouraging. We also chatted about Art's interesting traveling around the world when we had lunch. Art was a great guide!

      Ice Climbing
      This was our second activity with Bliss Adventure. The website is easy to navigate and make bookings which are followed up with informative emails. We got kitted out by our instructors and headed off to the ice wall. We got our kit and ppe on then were instructed in the art of climbing up ice. Two at a time we, and the other participants ascended the first, easier ice wall utilising our newly taught skills and honing our technique. You get good feedback on how to improve your style. If your group is made up of couples it’s worth going in an order that allows one of your pair to photograph the other climbing. A short break for a well deserved hot juice drink then it’s time to attempt a new higher ice wall. When you ascend to your target there’s the opportunity to take in the views and take some selfies. Then it’s sit back and walk back down the wall for another hot drink then return to the storeroom. Jonathan and Innis* (hope this is spelt right) are excellent instructors with a lifetime of experience which they gladly share with you to make your trip more enjoyable. There were 2 time slots available. We climbed in daylight however it is possible to climb after dark (January) and we saw one group climbing whilst the Northern Lights flickered overhead. I recommend this activity enormously if you enjoy a good buzz.

      A memorable shoe shoe tour
      We recently enjoyed a fantastic snowshoe tour in Pyhä-Luosto National Park, guided by Inessa. She was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored the experience to our passion for photography, leading us through stunning landscapes, including the beautiful gorge. The authentic Finnish lunch and hot berry beverages was wonderful. Inessa's insights into the Arctic nature and local lore made the hike even more memorable. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a personalised and authenic way explore the breathtaking scenery of Lapland

      A must do!
      We had a wonderful time on our private class with Max and Johnathan. They gave us a thorough tutorial and took their time with us. Not only did they teach us how to ice climb but they taught us so much about Finnish culture and way of life. They let us climb and rest at our own pace and worked with us at our skill level. We loved every minute of our time with them! The campfire and hot berry juice was the cherry on top. This is truly a must-do when in the area.

    What a great tour we had today with Kai. Electric fat bike are awesome, we booked the 3 hours ride to the amethyst mine. Kai was an awesome guide, took the time to explain everything to us, took cool pictures for us, helped us find the best donut in Finland, etc. The path to the mine is uphill but with the « boost » option you can climb to the top without too much energy. The mine is cool as well but the fat bike is what make the tour quite unique. Would 100% recommend! Next time we try the ice climbing for beginners :) thanks a lot

    My first expirience with a Fatbike in the snow and it was so great. When i booked the tour they told me that ur fitnesslevel can be really low. But actually thats not true. Maybe if u have -15°C and the trails are easy, but with warmer temperature it is much harder and really slippery. U need a god bodyfeeling, balance and muscularity to get up the hil, start the bike, feel secure if u fall (and u will ;)) and have the strength to go up again by urself.
    My fitnesslevel is really good, so that i could enjoy the trip and i really would love to do it again :)

    We had an amazing time cycling through the Pyha-Luosto National Park to the Amethyst Mine with Kai from Bliss Adventures. Kai was very experienced and prepped us for the cold by suggesting that we put on more layers for the ride! He even lent me his own gloves and cycling pant protector (which I ended up ripping :() for the journey. He was extremely encouraging, giving us tips on how to switch gears and modes (the electric bike actually makes cycling uphill a breeze when you have it on turbo mode!). Especially impressed by how patient he was even as we struggled to cycle downhill thanks to a pendolino mowing up soft snow on the way down! He even took my boyfriend cycling on a frozen lake! Also really enjoyed the amethyst mine tour and the opportunity to dig for our own amethysts. I wasn't any good but it was fun nonetheless! Overall, this is a must-try experience!

    Dear Rachel, kiitos paljon, thank you so much for your kind feedback! Makes us very glad to learn that you enjoyed the e-fatbike tour to the Luosto Amethyst mine with us. You showed some good Arctic cycling spirit even though the snow wasn't the easiest on that particular day! :)

    The bike tour to the mine was fantastic. Beautiful paths, attentive guide (Tina) and a great stop at Cafe Lampivaaran - very tasty donuts!
    The tour of the mine was interesting and searching for your own amethyst was very amusing.
    The descent on the bikes was the absolute highlight of the tour.
