kolatravel snowmobile safaris murmansk region saami

Snowmobile safari to Saami Sot house (Vezha) in village Inga.

The tour base Saami Sot house "Vezha" is located in a remote village, named Inga, in the middle of wild forested area of the Kola Peninsula. Snow covered houses appear between pine trees like at a fairy-tale picture. Inside of the Vezha a cosy fire-place warms you up. Reindeer fur on sleeping place makes it soft and comfy. You will like the delicious meal cooked in traditional Saami way.

In December and almost the whole January the Kola Land is covered by Polar night lighted with star-placer and phantasm play of Aurora Borealis, only. February is windy and snowy. In March and April - snow and sunshine, frost and blue sky – the Spring is coming to Kola Peninsula! But the nature still keeps winter attire. Take snowmobile to drive to far forest and enjoy all charms of late Winter! Our trek will go along iced lakes and on ways of frozen rivers surrounded by virgin ancient forest sleeping under snow blanket. The Northern winter is rich for showing its beauty. It puts an ice panzer on vertical rocks and transforms them into white towers. Rivers become carved corridors between walls of trees decorated with a snow laces and lakes transform into ball rooms covered with fluffy carpets
