Our newest route goes through the most remote and beautiful places of the Kola Peninsula.
Every year we expand the territory of our snowmobile safaris, delving into increasingly wilder and unexplored places.
Based on the results of past years, we created a new route going along the southeast coast and to the heart (centre) of Kola Peninsula.
The highlight of this route will be the Dalneye Keyvy hills. The area where the steps of space rockets fell down and it is still possible to find those fragments.
The remote Kanevka village is the edge point of the route. After that, we snowmobile along the very center of the Keiva ridge
to Krasnoshchelye village. From there via Lovozero and Khibiny Tundra to our safari house close to Kirovsk city.
Under favourable circumstances you will be guided by the dancing northern lights Aurora Borealis.
