The program for tours in December:
- excursion to the enterprise for the production of Arctic berry jam;
- snowmobiling;
- a tropical pool.
Today will be a delicious and emotional day!
In the morning we go to the company where the Arctic jam is born. We will see the famous northern berries, find out how they are harvested, and see how the berries are frozen and cleaned. And, of course, we'll try the famous Arctic jam! Then we'll definitely decide that we want to take this jam with us, and we'll go to the gift shop.
Please note! In case of temporary closure of the enterprise for tourists or otherwise, do not
depending on the reason of the organizer, this tour will be replaced by a master class.
Then we're going snowmobiling! Even if you've never driven this vehicle, it's okay. The instructor will quickly teach you all the tricks, and on a huge iron horse you will boldly (or timidly) race through the snowy expanses of the Kola Peninsula.
Then we go to bask in the huge swimming pool, which is called the "Tropical Bathhouse" here. Let's swim, relax and warm up.
The active part of the tour to the Kola Peninsula will be 3 km on foot. About 1.5-2 hours by car.
The program for tours in January-March:
- the snowy city of Kirovsk;
- A curious train station;
- snowmobiling in Khibiny;
- Snow Village;
- The magical forest.
We have sooooo many interesting plans today, so we're leaving early!
The city of Kirovsk is very compact, cozy, and comfortable. The main feature of this city is that it is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Not even mountains, but large snow-white hills that resemble trapezoids in shape and vaguely resemble Elbrus. The houses are built so close to the mountains! This creates an absolutely stunning effect when the floor of Elbrus looks out from around the corner of a five-story building.
The mountain range that surrounds Kirovsk is called Khibiny. And it is in the Huts that we will ride snowmobiles.
We will be given special suits, gloves, and a helmet. The instructor will quickly teach you how to control this iron horse. The highway passes through a very beautiful gorge, which is surrounded on all sides by mountains.
There are 2 people riding on one snowmobile, and the activity (instruction + ride) takes about 1-1.5 hours.
Then we will visit the Snow Village. This huge complex occupies more than 2000 m2 and is the largest snow structure in Russia! Figures have been created from ice here, and beautiful lighting has been done. The halls and walls of the buildings are decorated with ice bas-reliefs and lace ornaments.
Please note! The snow village starts its work at the end of December, so we visit it.
only in tours from January to March.
Further along the way we will stop at the old railway station. Our instructor will tell you his curious story.
At the end of the day, when it gets a little dark, we go to the most magical location, it's called the "Mysterious Forest".
The owners of this location decorated the forest very beautifully with lighting and made snow sculptures. There are real mazes here that you can't cross. You go, admire, take pictures. It's always much warmer in the woods than outdoors. Therefore, you can walk here for a long time and comfortably!
The active part of the tour to the Kola Peninsula will be 4.1 km on foot. About 6 hours by car, 5-6 hours in Kirovsk.
