Snowshoe and ice trek on Lake Baikal
Duration: 7 days, 6 nights
Availability: February 1 – April 1
Traditionally outdoor lovers in Siberia use broad skis to make their way through the deep snow, similar to those that were used by Siberian hunters from times immemorial. However, nowadays one can meet trappers plowing through the snow on snowshoes.
