Are you ready for full Russian immersion?

Here you will ski beautiful mountains, travel by train, hovercraft, ‘Soviet snow tank’, 6×6 and 8×8 trucks.  You will visit remote towns and even remoter villages, communicating where possible with the locals and learning much about life in the Russian Arctic.

Vorkuta is a hard place with a dark past.  We will visit this coal mining town built and operated by slave labour from one of the largest and most notorious gulags in the Soviet Union.  Not a place to linger we will quickly head back into the sub-Polar Urals for further skiing before taking a 36 hour train journey to the heart of Moscow.  We then have time to visit the city and enjoy Saturday night there before flying home.
