Kinfolk in Karelia. Autumn-winter tour

We invite you to the headquarters of the Arctic expeditions, where you can get acquainted with sled dogs-legends and learn the traditions and signs of polar explorers.

You will ride through the Karelian taiga on dog sleds, have lunch by candlelight in a cozy fireplace room, cook Karelian fish soup with cream on a live fire by the campfire and light a samovar on cones. You will feel the silence and peace.
