5 day hiking tour in Lovozero Mountains on Kola Peninsula

 

The Lovozero Tundra is made up of rounded mountains with plateau summits, the highest point being Mt. Angvundaschorr at 1127m. Jewel-like lakes, transparent springs, majestic waterfalls, fantastic rock outcrops and stunning mountain vistas can be found here. At lower elevations, virgin forests stretch for huge distances. Travel with us to the mystic place on a shore of Saint Lake where dancing shaman is watching you from the rock. The nights will be spend in tents on the sandy beaches of this beautiful lake. You can enjoy the silence and watch into romantic campfires. Before and after the tour you stay in a good hotel in Monchegorsk.
