Active Summer Winter holidays Kola Peninsula Russian Lapland Murmansk

Saturday 6th of August 2016 we visited Pomor village Kuzreka to participate on the Festival of Kuzulya (goat bread figures) with a group of Students. Folk groups from all over Kola Peninsula gave performances and locals showed their home made souvenirs and products. Thanks to the good weather the Festival had many visitors and everybody was satisfied. This is one of the many spontaneously organised excursions on Kola Peninsula. Just ask and we perform!

Polar Bird Watching on Kola Peninsula: taiga and tundra birds of Murmansk region

This season 2016 we had 2 bird watching tours in the middle of Kola Peninsula. The bird of the year 2016 is the "Parrot Crossbill". They are similar as Crossbills, but the bill is bigger and length and height are equal. Also the under bill is not passing the upper bill (see photo, not so sharp but anyway…….). Enjoy! http://kolatravel.com/ktbw03.htm

Winter season is over. We summarized our activities in two now flyers. The last one is specialised for Alpine skiing. Kirosk ski-resort is upgraded to European level, but not the prices. You are welcome there from December until May. This is perfect to combine with the activities mentioned in the first flyer: Husky safaries, snowmobile safaris, reindeer rides and Saami culture.
