Experience winter activities during your stay in St.Petrsburg. Take a break and escape from cultural
St.Petersburg to crispy frozen and dazzling white countryside with snowy pine woods, smooth frozen
lakes and low skies.
This morning meet your guide and head to northeast of the city. It would take about an hour to get to
the location. First you cross the Northern districts of St.Petersburg and see how the majority of locals
live – block apartment houses, grocery shops, schools, markets etc. After you leave the city you get
completely different views outside – villages interspersed with woods and
valleys.
The first stop is a country club, where you experience a snow mobile
drive.
First here you get necessary equipment and short training course on
safety measure and a test drive.
Then you start to drive following the instructor. The driving time is
usually 70-80 min.
Your route runs through the forest first along snow-covered trees and
bushes. You rush up and down the hills as well as along the winding
paths. At the end you get to an opened field, where you might like to
drive more dynamically.
After such a busy and active morning have lunch in a nice country café nearby. This lunch would
include barbeque, vegetables, snacks and drinks.
After lunch you head to the Reindeer farm (5 km).
At the arrival enjoy 20-minutes walk through the woods
(about 800 meters). At the arrival to the farm you meet the
local farm animals – reindeers, horses, pony horses, Nenets
huskies.
Here you enjoy an exciting story about reindeers as well as
about other farm animals and have a chance to feed them
and take pictures.
At the end have tea in a chum (traditional house of
northern tribes) from Russian samovar with traditional
pastry.
Straight after get back to the hotel by private transfer.
