The Kola Peninsula in the Russian arctic is a great place for a ski adventure. Fly to St Petersburg then take an overnight train to the Arctic where we will spend 9 days skiing before a night in Murmansk then fly back to St Petersburg to explore this fascinating city.
Western Caucasus 6th-20th Feb 2010
The caucuses are the roof of Europe with Elbrus it’s crown, many people visiting this region focus on Elbrus and miss the fantastic touring opportunities in the surrounding valleys, here the mountains are lower 3000-3500m and the snow is better as it is not so wind affected as the high altitude peaks.
The plan for the trip is to explore 3 valley systems in the Western Caucuses region of the Russian Federation. The Caucuses offers unlimited ski touring options and visiting in February we hope to take advantage of the great powder skiing conditions that are often found at this time of year.
Cost 2222 Euros Full board not including international flight
