Polar Snowmobile Adventure Wilderness of Kola Peninsula
|
For experienced snowmobilers we offer a more than 600 km long Polar Snowmobile Adventure
through the wilderness of Kola Peninsula. You will visit places and remote
villages which are only reachable in winter by snowmobiles and reindeers with
sledges. The landscape in the centre of Kola Peninsula is magnificent beautiful
with different kind of forests, frozen lakes and rivers, tundra's with huge
panorama's and exciting driving. We will use as much as possible tracks used by
the original Reindeer People "Saami". That means also deep snow driving,
sometimes to be patient and to improvise.
The track goes from Oktyabrsky to Lappish village Krasnoschelye followed by
Varzuga with the beautiful wooden Uspenskaya Church dated from 1674 and to Umba
fishing village on the White Sea. From Umba we drive northwards to Inga where we
overnight in a Saami Sot house and back to
Oktyabrsky. Everyday you can enjoy the hot Russian Banya (sauna) and traditional
meals of local people. Lunches will be in the open air around campfires. Read
more details in the itinerary below.
