There is hardly a country in the world where such a variety of scenery and vegetation is. On the vast territory of the country, there is a variety of climate, from arctic in the north to subtropical in the south.

Russia attracts many tourists due to its changeable seasons. There are four seasons of the year in Russia; each has its charm and attraction. Visiting the same city in summer and winter is often like visiting two different cities. However, Russia is a northern country, and so winter tourism is also well developed, and the country offers a wide range of winter sports as well as a wide range of winter destinations for sightseeing programs.

We have prepared for you an overview of some of the most exciting destinations in Russia for winter 2018/2019 where you will be able to enjoy a real Russian winter. Consider that most of the proposed tours will be available throughout the year as well.
