   The republic of Karelia is situated in the West of Northern Russia. Karelian nature is full of small rivers with big number of rapids, sudden turnings and thousands of small and large blue lakes full of fish. Large part of its territory is covered by wild virgin forest, taiga.
   The most popular kinds of summer action tours in Russian Karelia are fishing on lakes and rivers; water trips on yachts and sailboats in Onego and Ladoga lakes and in the sea; rafting trips on the largest rivers (Suna, Chirka-Kem, Shuya and others).
   Also, these tourist programmes will allow You to enjoy the beautiful nature of this land with its waters, stones and rocks, magnificent forests. A lot of these programmes includes visiting famous sights of the Russian North: Valaam and Solovetsky monasteries, the museum of Kizhi Island, petroglyphs and cultic buildings of ancient saamians, etc., excursions.
   If You would like to have a rest living in a comfortable country cottage or guesthouse, there is a big choice, also. You can just enjoy silence, nature, pure air or combine this way of spending time with action or cultural trips around the republic and with other activities.
   One can spend an unforgettable time in winter, here. The whole territory of Karelia is covered by thick snow layer during this season which lasts about four-five months, usually.  
   The most popular winter tours in the republic are ski marches, snowmobile riding, ice fishing. Snowmobile trips often include visiting various famous sights. Dark green taiga covered by white snow, lakes like large white fields - these activities are especially attractive here, probably, because this is the North.

   Winters in Karelia are usually not extremely cold, but the temperature may reach minus 10 degrees by Celsius (plus 14 degrees by Fahrenheit). Thaws happen rather often. Great frosts sometimes happen, also. They do usually in January or February.

      Precautions:

  • Participant(s) are usually guided by an instructor. But, in spite of this fact, it is strongly recommended not to take part in activities which seem to You dangerous, unpredictable and have got other features of that kind.
  • As for all winter tours in Russian Karelia, please, always remember the following. Be careful not to catch cold, not to be frozen, not to get a frostbite. Note, that the weather in this part of Northern Russia often changes very rapidly, it can become colder very quickly - up to a dozen and a half degrees by Celsius (about three dozen degrees by Fahrenheit) per one day and even more. Beside this, the air is damp here and this circumstance intensifies the effect of frost.
    Sometimes, it is really cold during summer, also. The temperature may fall to less than plus ten degrees by Celsius (plus fifty degrees by Fahrenheit) in the afternoon.
   Keeping these items in mind, You can have comfortable and safe rest in this unique northern part of Russian land.
