A wonderful car-walking route for those who want to see the Khibiny and not walk a lot! You will go to the heart of Khibiny – to the Cuelporr base and take a walk to the beautiful waterfall on the Risjok River (height about 20 m), climb to the observation deck and enjoy the panoramic view. The bravest and most seasoned will be able to swim in the font of the waterfall. Then you will reach the Shchuchye Lake and, having waded through it, you will get to the Goltsovo Lake with its gorgeous sandy beach. The name of the lake Goltsovo, according to one version, occurred precisely because of the large amount of Arctic char in it. The lake is "fed" by meltwater and rivers descending from mountain peaks. The beauty and silence of the lake is simply fascinating.


You will drive through abandoned geological roads of the 50-70s of the twentieth century and visit the most attractive places that can be reached by an SUV. The passes and mountain lakes take your breath away from the harsh beauty of the north. Jeeps allow you to complete a route in a few hours, which pedestrian groups spend several days on. There are stops for a photo shoot on the way.
