Lapland — White Hills on skis.
Ski trek with Arctic pulkas and overnight stays in tunnel tents without a stove on the Kola Peninsula.
On the first day, preparation. Accommodation in a comfortable cottage on the shore of the White Sea. Learning ski techniques, setting up tents and winter hiking skills. Unique ice floating experience — swimming in a special dry suit among the ice floes of the White Sea. Such suits are used in expeditions to the North Pole to overcome water areas. Exploring the Pomor north. The route passes through one of the most picturesque areas of Russian Lapland. We move along the frozen White Sea, lay the first track through the northern taiga and make radial trips from the camp to the scenic tundra hills.
The trek falls on the holidays, which means it's easier to arrange a vacation.
All guides are Red Cross certified in Basic and Advanced Wilderness First Aid. We take the branded train 016 "Arctica", which arrives at 6:50 at Kandalaksha railway station. Tickets go on sale 90 days before the trip. Skis and a duffel bag/backpack with gear fit on the third shelf of the seating car. There's a bit less space in the compartment, but enough for ours. Remember that skis must be transported in a case.
If necessary, luggage can be checked into a specialized carriage by booking and paying for it in advance.
Before the trek, you'll transfer your personal gear to pulkas, and leave your city clothes and the backpack/duffel bag in which you brought them in the hotel storage room.
