I'd like to invite you for a trip to winter Baikal. During this trip you’ll see the most beauties of wintry Baikal, ride over the ice of frozen Baikal by snowmobile and feel its vastness, experience dog-sledding on Baikal and spend night at the warm wooden houses, try Russian Banya, explore icy grottoes of Olkhon island, try ice-fishing and have a UAZ-car excursion to the northernmost of Olkhon island. It is a nice combination of activities and leisure at the same time! To read more...

Winter has taken its full rights and is giving quite low temperatures to us! The night temperature of -25 C -30 C is a normal thing while at the day time it can be about +15 C on the warm days. The skiing and snowboarding and dog-sledding season has already started, but Baikal lake is not frozen yet. Will wait till the middle of January! Till then enjoy sunny days and snowfalls and long evenings!
