Adventure Holidays In Russia |
The world’s largest country, Russia stretches across Europe and Asia and covers almost one-eighth of the world’s land area. European Russia is a large plain made up of grasslands used for agriculture, crossed by rivers and home to the Ural Mountains that run from north to south, separating European and Asian Russia. To the east of the Urals lies low and swampy Siberia , rising to rolling hills farther east and to mountains and volcanoes near the Pacific coast. Along the southern border of Russia , between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea , are the Caucasus Mountains . Lake Baikal in Siberia is the world’s deepest lake, containing 20 per cent of all the fresh water in the world. Northern Russia is an arctic region of tundra and permafrost, while south of the tundra is woody and forested.
ADVENTURE SPORTS IN RUSSIA
Russian winters offer spectacular opportunities for winter sports, including skiing and snowboarding. There are more than 100 ski areas around Russia and while many of them are small, with equipment and resort areas that are continually updating, there are some brilliant exceptions in the Caucasus mountain area, in southern Russia . Landscapes ranging from alpine meadows of red poppies to snow-capped peaks and scenic plateaux make trekking across the beautiful scenery of Russia ’s highest peak ideal, while climbers will enjoy the challenge of scaling it.
