Luosto
Charming Lapland destination with stunning views and activities
In the middle of Lapland’s spectacular nature, and right next to the Luosto fells in Sodankylä municipality, lies a small and idyllic village full of pine cabins. This is the village of Luosto. Located in the middle of the Pyhä-Luosto National Park and Luosto fells, it's needless to say that in this little village of 200 inhabitants you get to enjoy magnificent views all year round.

A peaceful Lapland escape with easy access
Luosto is only about 1.5 hours from Rovaniemi, making it easily accessible thanks to Rovaniemi’s excellent transport connections. There is a direct bus connection from Rovaniemi Airport and city center to Luosto. Other Lapland towns, such as Sodankylä, are also nearby, allowing you to expand your Lapland experience with ease.
If you are looking for an authentic Lapland experience, Luosto is the place for you. Luosto is the ideal destination for those looking for pure nature and peace in a small village. With Rovaniemi nearby, it's also possible to combine your stay with a visit to the Santa Claus Village or the Rovaniemi city itself.

Explore Pyhä-Luosto national park and Amethyst mine
For such a small village Luosto has a lot to offer: it has everything from national parks to ski resorts and amethyst mines. You can even spot the Finnish Meteorological Institute’s weather radar on top of the fells. The tranquil surroundings of Luosto village are favorable for a pure and relaxed Lapland experience.
Pyhä-Luosto National Park is a peaceful spot between the resorts of Pyhä and Luosto. It offers a magnificent landscape to explore by hiking or cycling. It’s also a great place for calming down and enjoying Lapland’s exceptional nature.
The first snow reaches the North around October–November. A white blanket covers the ground as the temperatures drop below zero. It’s still an optimal time for hiking, as the sun still surrenders some of its warmth during the daytime.
The small and idyllic Luosto exudes a peaceful atmosphere at the foot of the fell, surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of Pyhä-Luosto National Park.
