The longest ski season in Russia

Many ski resorts in Russia close at the beginning of May, but not in the Murmansk region – we continue to ski even in June!

On May 6 and 7 at the festival "The Power of Color" you can join the celebration of the continuation of the ski season on the eve of the Polar day.

Who wanted to ski or snowboard and sunbathe in the mountains? Or go for a ride and sunbathe? Don't forget the sunscreen! 

Detailed program of the festival  

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Polar Day

How much you can do when the night recedes. For example, explore the Kola Peninsula.

Go hiking, fishing, kayaking or cycling all day and all night.

And don't forget to bring your camera and sunglasses! It will be bright!

See how waterfalls come to life

In May, nature appears in all its glory – the first flowers appear, waterfalls are released from the ice and at the same time there is still snow on the tops of the hills and mountains. And everything is flooded with sunlight!

Non-standard weekends

The Murmansk region is a place where you can try yourself for the first time in non–banal, and sometimes extreme sports, and some of them are available all year round.

The key to a great trip is a lot of vivid impressions!

Amazing street art

The Murmansk region is a large open–air art gallery, where the works amaze with their scope and palette of colors.

Interesting graffiti and murals can be found in the most unexpected places.

Do birdwatching


Do you want to do amateur ornithology professionally?

Dress warmly, take a thermos, sticks for Nordic walking, binoculars more powerful and go away from the city.

Enjoy a walk through the protected areas of the Kola Peninsula, home to more than 200 species of birds, including those listed in the Red Book.

This way you will not only find a lost connection with nature, but also get rid of irritability, anxiety and bad mood!

Catch the biggest fish

The unique geographical location and climatic features of the Kola Peninsula provide a lot of opportunities for a truly large catch.

The main asset of the peninsula is the rivers in which salmon spawn. Therefore, fishing on the Kola Peninsula attracts both experienced fishermen who dream of catching trophy salmon and outdoor enthusiasts.
