Description

Ahvenlampi summer trail, Luosto is about 2.5 km point-to-point through the Luosto village greenbelt in Sodankylä, Lapland. It links Lake Ahvenlampi’s shore facilities with Tikkalaavu lean-to, Luosto’s ski hill and disc golf area, and finishes near Ametisti Spa (Ametistikylä). For visitor information on the wider Ahvenlampi area — access from the village parking or Lapland Hotels Luostotunturi by the playground, winter maintenance, fishing, and Northern Lights tips — start with the Ahvenlampi page on Luosto.fi. Metsähallitus lists Ahvenlampi keittokatos at Pyhä-Luosto National Park on Luontoon.fi. Visit Sodankylä highlights an easy-to-reach kota by the lake for families planning a fire break in the national park setting. The trail lies in Sodankylä municipality in Lapland, beside the Pyhä-Luosto tourism area. Along the first kilometre you reach the Ahvenlampi shore cluster: about 0.8 km in there are two marked cooking shelters, Ahvenlampi keittokatos and Ahvenlammen keittokatos, with dry-toilet service grouped nearby for a comfortable picnic stop. The path then runs toward Tikkalaavu, a lean-to with its own outdoor toilet a little aside from the main line — a natural lunch stop before the route passes Luosto DiscGolfPark and Lapland Ski Resort Luosto. Near the end you approach Ametistikylä at Luostontie, useful if you are pairing the walk with spa or accommodation services. The same track mesh links to Luosto’s wider outdoor network: Ahvenlammen lenkki is the short lakeside walking loop, while Ukko Luoston retkeilyreitti and Luoston vaellusluontopolku continue toward longer fell and forest days; Luoston valaistut kuntoradat and Luoston valaistut ladut share segments when snow season maintenance is running. Luosto.fi describes a low-light winter lighting concept along the wider Ahvenlampi circuit for aurora-friendly walking. Summer rainbow trout fishing at the lake uses permits sold through Eräluvat.fi.

Length & route

The trail is about 2.5 km point-to-point on the map from the Luosto village side toward Ametistikylä. Luosto.fi’s Ahvenlampi visitor page describes a slightly longer, family-friendly circuit of roughly 2.8 km around the pond on maintained paths; that wider ring overlaps the lakeshore section of this link route.

Getting there

Luosto.fi directs walkers from Luosto’s village parking (levike) or from the path at the left corner of Lapland Hotels Luostotunturi beside the playground. National park travelers can combine the shore stop with general Pyhä-Luosto access advice from Visit Sodankylä, including daily buses from Rovaniemi and Kemijärvi to the Pyhä-Luosto area.

Good to know

Rainbow trout fishing permits for Ahvenlampi are sold via Eräluvat.fi. Martin pilkki ice-fishing weekend in early April is a recurring winter highlight advertised around the lake. Dedicated site:youtube.com searches did not surface a clip that clearly showcases only this summer link at the trail-overview standard, so no video URL is attached.
