Earlier, with the onset of winter, life froze in all Russian open spaces. The peasants took a break from the autumn harvest and prepared for the spring. Only on Sundays were festivities organized with round dances, sleigh rides, throwing snowballs, and molding snow women. Now everything has changed. Our life now does not depend on the change of seasons, and if there is an opportunity, then we prefer to spend a vacation in the summer. But those who have had their rest in the winter still have something to keep themselves busy.
Instructions
Step 1
The number of winter sports is impressive. Just look at the large list of sports disciplines at the Winter Olympics. Here you can find skiing, tobogganing, speed skating, hockey and curling. If you do not practice these sports professionally, then it is in the winter that you have a great opportunity to learn. In Russia, near and far abroad, there are many ski resorts, recreation centers offering various types of outdoor activities to ordinary people.
Step 2
In our country, these are primarily the Ural resorts of Abzakovo, Zavyalikha, and Solnechnaya Dolina. Another region traditionally well equipped with ski slopes is the Caucasus. There are no less famous Dombay, Elbrus region, Krasnaya Polyana. Krasnaya Polyana so often called Russian Switzerland is far from coincidental: a stunningly beautiful mountain landscape, first-class ski slopes. You can ski here from December to April. And on some parts of Elbrus you can ride all year round.
Step 3
Although the Altai Territory is a mountainous region, the tourist infrastructure is poorly developed here, but the locals are always willing to accept those who like to relax, go skiing and breathe the healing Altai air.
Step 4
But the ski run is not the only place where you can spend your free time. Many recreation centers also offer quad biking. In particular, Karelian travel companies offer to fans of extreme winter recreation whole expeditions on ATVs. They can last anywhere from one day to a week. Needless to say, such a journey through almost untouched wilderness places promises a lot of vivid impressions for the tourist.
Step 5
The Russian tourists also fell in love with Finland. Reindeer and dog sleds, on which you can ride with the breeze, are worth interrupting the usual idleness and looking at the endless snowy expanses of the country of Suomi. And how not to take the opportunity to visit real Finnish shamans and see the stunning beauty of the action - the northern lights?
Step 6
As you can see, winter rest is not only New Year with a bowl of Olivier. This is also a great opportunity to travel with the whole family to a recreation center, a ski resort, or even go to another country to get an unforgettable experience.
