Karelia is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Russia. It is no surprise why as here you will find pristine natures, frozen lakes and snowy forests - in other words a real winter wonderland. In addition the region has good transport links with Moscow and St Petersburg and isn’t too far: there is a night train from Moscow and a five-hour express train or a standard night train from St Petersburg. Karelia is located next to Finland and has a similar nature to that of Finland, and even shares a lot of its history with Finland. However prices in Karelia are cheaper than its neighbour, and even Finns come here to ride snowmobiles or go dog-sledding. Detailed below are variants of two or three-day tours around Winter Karelia. The tours are run in small groups with the accompaniment of translators and instructors.

  It is possible to combine a trip to Karelia with a tour of St Petersburg or Moscow, and, as for all tours run by Rusmania, we can put together for you a unique, individual tour to Karelia.
