Pyhä-Luosto Kansallispuisto (Pyhä-Luoston kansallispuisto) is a National Park in Finland

Pyhä-Luosto National Park protects one of the oldest ranges in Finland, a chain of ancient, worn fells running between the resorts of Pyhä and Luosto in Lapland. Its landscape of rounded summits, deep gorges, old-growth forest and mires is laced with marked trails and dotted with wilderness huts and campfire shelters. Amethyst lies in the ground here, mined on Lampivaara fell. At around 67°N, deep in the auroral zone, the park's dark, open fells are a superb place to watch the northern lights.
