Hiking tour in Monche Mountains |
Monche Tundra is part of the Laplandsky Nature
Reserve. This territory was allocated for the major purpose; preservation and restoration of a
livestock of wild reindeers on the Kola Peninsula.
Monche Tundra has many highlights old virgin pine and spruce forests (400-500 years), a
valley where nature is like Japan banzai gardens, the beautiful waterfall Ebr-chorr is falling into a stone cup
on the palms of Lapland and in the ravines are nests of the rare Nordic bird, the 'gyrfalcon' having its territory in the fells.
Experience this all during a four days hiking tour in Monche Tundra. Before and after the
tour you will stay in a good hotel in Monchegorsk. |
