New Year's holidays, winter holidays, and just a vacation that fell in December, January or February should be fun and interesting. It is not at all necessary to buy a tour to warm countries - trips around Russia would be an excellent alternative. You can choose educational excursion programs or winter sports - there are options for every taste and budget.
You can celebrate the New Year in one of the rest houses near Moscow. Most of the hotel complexes and boarding houses offer a New Year's program with a festive dinner, children's animation, three meals a day with a buffet and a set of traditional winter entertainment - skiing, sledging and ice skating, a sauna or a Russian bath. Here you can also celebrate Christmas or stay for all the holidays. Healthy sleep and fresh air are guaranteed. It is better to leave with the whole family or a close group of friends - then it will definitely not be boring. Tired of the noisy crowds of vacationers? Go to Karelia. Here you can indulge in passive rest in one of the small boarding houses or cottages - fishing, walking in the purest snow, in the evenings drinking hot mulled wine by the fireplace. There are options for active tourists. They offer dog sledding, long tours on snowmobiles or pneumatic ATVs. Do not miss the opportunity to visit Lake Onega and explore the island of Kizhi. In February, tourists can be expected in Uglich. The local festival "Winter Fun" is a great entertainment for the young and active. The program includes the capture of a snow town, snow fights, winter football, rides on snowmobiles, snowmobiles and Russian troikas. And besides, all kinds of competitions - from a homemade sled competition to ice fishing competitions. Buffoons and folklore shows are offered as additional entertainment. If you are attracted by the beauty of winter nature, go to Altai. Lovers of winter fishing will be attracted by Lake Teletskoye, those who prefer extreme mountain tourism should try their hand at the highest point of Gorny Altai - Mount Belukha. There are hiking and horse trails here. Pay attention to the famous caves - for example, Tavdinskie, which are especially popular among tourists. Famous ski resorts are located nearby, which are recommended not only for skiers, but also for skateboarders. Excellent snow-"powder" lasts here until March. Those who prefer exotic things, it makes sense to think about a trip to Kamchatka. The winter season here opens in December and lasts until spring. You can order both a group and an individual tour with a varied program. The list of possible entertainments is extremely wide - walks along the Pacific coast, trips to the foot of the volcano and to the valley of geysers, bathing in hot springs, visiting a kennel for Kamchatka sled dogs. It will not do without traditional winter fun - cross-country and downhill skiing, sledges, skateboards and snowmobiles.
