1 About us

Our main area of activities is to organize tours around the Kola Peninsula.

In winter and spring from November to May we organize snowmobile expeditions of different types, ski tours, ice fishing and ethnographic programmes.

In summer from June to October we offer off-road tours on jeeps and quads, hiking with comfortable mountain stops, sportfishing on the hard-to-get lakes.

We can offer from our motor pool Polaris and Ski-doo snowmobiles, off-road bus (GAZ66-mounted), ready-to-go UAZ, comfortable minibus for intercity transportation.

For the winter tours we provide sets of personal rescue equipment including avalanche beacons, shovels and feelers. For the hiking tours we offer skies, french snowshoes TSL, communicators and satellite communication.

SNOWMOBILE SAFARI AT KOLA PENINSULA Before the tours managers provide snowmobile outfits to the guests – snowsuits, warm boots, mittens from fur, inner helmets, helmet with protective glass. Luggage is hold at the snowmobile boot and can be additionally hold by pressure boxes. The part of our tours passes the mountain territories. To provide the avalanche protection all the guests get avalanche beacons and take survival course. All the snowmobiles have an avalanche shovels and feelers. For our tours we use new Polaris Trail Touring 550 snowmobiles. Guests drive the snowmobile self- supporting as the member of guided team. Managers strongly recommend single snowmobile driving as the most convenient and safe. Before the start of tour managers give instructions of snowmobile driving, safety training, course of avalanche protection. Driving en route must be in column after the snowmobile of the guide, at arbitrary distance, travelling speed is from 20 to 80 km/h and depends on road conditions.

INDIVIDUAL TOURS Do you wish to visit Khibiny in the team with your snowmobiles? Such a great idea! Any of our tours we will organize specially for your team. Our guide will:  show you the way;

 tell you about sightseeing places on the way;

 organize overnight stops and fueling;

 provide engineering support and emergency evacuation if it is necessary.

We offer snowmobiles in rent (only with our guide), sets of avalanche protection equipment, fishing drill, satellite communications, special snowsuits, helmets, special boots for snowmobiles. Also we organize snowmobile transportation from Moscow to Kola Peninsula, round the region transportation, transfers by minibus, fuel delivery on the route, professional video and photo shooting.
