Luosto, Mountain and ski resort in Sodankylä, Finland.
Luosto reaches an elevation of 514 meters and features dense pine forests, marked hiking trails, and winter sports facilities throughout its slopes.
The mountain formed over 2 billion years ago as part of a range that matched the height of the Alps before erosion reduced its elevation.
The mountain inspired Finnish composer Kalevi Aho to create his 12th symphony, reflecting the natural elements of this northern landscape.
Visitors can reach Luosto by taking a 90-minute bus ride from Rovaniemi airport, with regular connections operating throughout the year.
The Lampivaara Amethyst Mine near the mountain allows visitors to search for purple gemstones while learning about local geology.
