Ski-Tour In Khibiny

Khibiny is not very high mountain massif on the Kola peninsula, located almost 150 km to the north from the Polar Circle. The highest altitude is Chasnachorr mountain - 1191m. Here the traveler can enjoy quick succession of landscapes including tundra which is unique for the European mountain systems. It makes Khibiny inimitable in their beauty. The climate here is much more mild than in any other polar region of Russia due to the warm Gulf Stream current washing the shores of Kola Peninsula. Northern taiga, woods of crooked and dwarf birches, shrub and lichen tundra, picturesque river valleys and flat summits - all is waiting for you on the trip.
The program is designed for those who have some skiing experience.
It is always possible to prolong your visit and stay in St. Petersburg for a couple more days.
