Snow Fun "Aurora Winter Week"
(6 days)
|
Have you ever been above the Polar Circle in winter
and in the capital of the Russian North region - Murmansk? It is a
major port-city that currently serves as a base for 15
fleets – including merchant, fishing, icebreaking and
research fleets. Of course, a city-tour and visits to
several interesting museums will be part of your visit to
the World’s biggest city the North above the Polar
Circle.
But we offer you to start your holiday from taking a
part in some northern activities like cross-country
skiing, alpine skiing, trying out a snowmobile and having
snow fun. For these possibilities we go to the town of
Kirovsk which is located in a valley of the Vudjavr lake
and surrounded by the Khibiny Mountains. It is a
beautiful northern city on the Kola Peninsula and a major mountain–skiing
centre in the Northwest of Russia.
Your Aurora Winter Fun is based on hotel and guesthouse accommodation.
The program is
full board.
