Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 3 hours
* We will go to the land of snow on snowshoes through the mountain valley of Maly Woodyavr. We will teach you snowshoeing techniques on the spot. You will be surprised how comfortable it is to walk on snowshoes through fresh snow, as if on a cloud! We will be surrounded by mountains: Woodyavrchorr, Takhtarvumchorr, Poachvumchorr, Kukisvumchorr. I will show them to you, tell you about the origin of their names and about the different forms of relief that we will see on the route. I'll tell you how they are formed. I will tell you about the history of the development of these places, industry, science, nature, minerals. The final point will be the hydrological wells, which gush with fountains of water, and at this time they freeze with blocks of ice – blue, like a clear sky. Next to them, I'll make delicious coffee on gas. After having a snack, enjoying coffee, and feeling at peace, we will return the same way back. There will be no difficult sections. Even children from 7 years old participate in the tour. The duration of the tour depends on your pace and weather conditions. The average distance is 4 km. without climbing, 2-3 hours. The tour takes place outdoors in winter, but it is active at the same time. You need to dress in layers. We will be moving a lot, so we need to dress in such a way that it is possible to remove the inner layer if it is hot, and the clothes do not restrict movement. We will be outdoors for the entire tour, take a thermos of tea and a snack with you. Even the simplest food in the mountains becomes delicious.

Привет! Я провожу походы и экскурсии по Хибинам и Мурманской области. Родился и вырос в Апатитах. Со студенческого возраста ходил в Хибины. Несколько лет вожу других людей, показывая красоты Хибин и объясняю специфику их природы. По основному роду деятельности я учёный-эколог, также являюсь популяризатором науки, в прошлом общественный инспектором по охране природы Роспотребнадзора, популяризирую бег и туризм. Прошёл переподготовку на проведение экологических экскурсий на природной территории. Благодаря богатому багажу знаний и любви к родным местам погружаю гостей в Хибины и показываю их своими глазами без выдумок и непроверенных фантазий, но с глубоким пониманием природы, экологии, геологии и минералогии, истории освоения этих мест. Буду рад познакомить вас с нашими удивительными краями!
