Six Reasons Russia is the Perfect Winter Getaway
01Skiing in Russia is like a diamond in the rough
If you’re looking for a “diamond in the rough” adventure to the snow, Russia is it. You may have skied in the Alps or shredded powder in Canada, but nothing compares to exploring Russia’s wild terrain and untracked powder. A ski trip in Russia is the chance for the adventure of a lifetime, skiing or snowboarding through the beautiful, vast landscapes of this country that few get the chance to visit while learning about a unique culture, tasting local food and meeting new friends.
02Virgin powder and untouched terrain
In Russia’s two most popular skiing regions, Kamchatka and the Caucasus, you’ll find major verticals running down the slopes of some of the most remote mountains in the world. Our trips offer a chance to dig your skis into virgin powder and tackle steep chutes, cliffs, spines ridges, gullies, and bowls. Russia also offers some of the best tree skiing on the planet. This is no exaggeration, as many of the world’s elite head to this faraway land just to split trees with their skis or board.
03Russia is the land of fire and ice
Kamchatka is a volcanic region where you’ll see nature’s sleepy giants, volcanoes, transformed into snowy peaks. You might even have a chance to see and ski on an active volcano or other areas known for their majestic views of the ocean, two traits which together have earned the region the name “the land of fire and ice.” The annual snowfall in Russia is impressive and dependable, often making for excellent early season ski trips. Skiing through this untamed terrain isn’t for everyone though, so most of our trips are suited for advanced and expert skiers. Contact LUEX if you’re hesitant about the suitability of Russia’s terrain.
04Amazing travel options and winter packages
You’ll be spoilt for choice in Russia. LUEX offers incredible heli skiing trips through the great mountain ranges of Kamchatka. The Caucasus region, with flurries of volcanoes in sight, is its heli skiing equal, which also offer resort skiing and ski touring. For skiers who want a truly epic experience, we offer a package with one of Russia’s pioneering heli-ski operators. If you want to ski on the same slopes as some of the world’s greatest athletes, check out our trip that includes a stop at world-famous Sochi, the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics. We have amazing options for you and your group. Just get in touch with us to find out more.
05Unforgettable cultural experience during your ski trip to Russia
Along with offering an unforgettable skiing experience, a trip to Russia is also an unforgettable cultural experience. Some of our trips include cultural excursions, giving you a chance to visit small mountain villages or impressive international cities like Moscow. We offer a range of accommodation options, from cosy lodges and hotels to unique lodgings (like staying in the former residence of ex-Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev).
Russia might be seen as a colourless nation, with residual dreariness from its Soviet days. But the culture is colourful, threaded with literature, poetry, dance, and celebration. The culture might be complex but getting to Russia is simple. A ski trip to Russia is perfect for skiers and snowboarders who want to experience skiing somewhere new, without all of the hassles of foreign travel.
06Big ski and snowboard terrain without the big price tag
Our ski trips in Russia are perfect for skiers and snowboarders that want big terrain without a big price tag. We offer several trips that are in the budget and mid-price range. If you want to ski in one of the world’s most adventurous unspoiled places, where the sky 's the limit and thrills wait around every corner, book a ski trip to Russia. For the experience, terrain and conditions like Russia’s, you’d usually need to pay through the nose. Not here. Get in touch with LUEX to discover what this incredible place is all about.
