Äventyrsgruvan
Premium adventure. A unique adventure that will last a lifetime.
Discover Explore Experience
Visitors describe the environment in the mine as a cross between The Lord of the Rings and a lunar landscape. The abandoned mine is vast and has been named Sweden’s most beautiful space. The mine’s water is some of the purest nature has to offer and has been exported across Europe as luxury drinking water. The underground sauna that was originally called an impossible dream is now absolutely one of a kind. We will make our way through dried out areas and mining zones, over underground lakes and deep shafts. There are no barriers or restrictions and the adventure is tailored for visitors in terms of its content and difficulty. Our visitors are of all ages and the degree of difficulty could be compared to climbing a standard 3-metre ladder, only with a much more powerful experience. No prior knowledge is required.
Suggested format for the premium adventure
We will provide visitors with helmets, headlamps and harnes- ses and carry out a safety demonstration. With your knowled- geable and experienced guides, you will descend into the mine via working shafts from the mining period and a Via Ferrata climbing trail where we will move between different levels of the mine, down to a depth of 80m. We will stop at the viewing point by a large underground lake and experience an authen- tic Finnish sauna combined with a cold-water plunge. We’ll recharge our batteries and a chef will serve up local delicacies cooked over an open fire down in the mine. We can guarantee that the unique environment in the mine makes the food taste even better. A raft will take us across several crystal clear lakes to dock in one of the mine's larger halls. We will experience burning torches and music from The Lord of the Rings here. A zipline will take us across an underground lake before our journey continues upwards through tunnels that are many hundreds of years old. After a visit to an ice cave at a depth of 40m, we reach the bottom of the open pit where we will cele- brate our adventure with a glass of champagne.
