Where to go in winter: 5 most underrated destinations in Russia


You don’t have to sit at home without going out. But not everyone’s budget or work allows them to travel to warm countries, so you can arrange a trip to your native land, just a little less hype and popular by travel bloggers. I am talking, among other things, about the Khabarovsk Territory, the Orel Region and others.



You can have a good time and relax with the whole family in winter by going on a trip to Russia. Moreover, experts name destinations where you can have fun both in the city and outdoors. For example:

the Bikin River Valley in the Khabarovsk Territory (pre-ice forests, Amur tigers and indigenous peoples, a national park with recreation centers and tourist routes);

Khatanga village on the Taimyr Peninsula (the Northern Lights, the Mammoth Museum, the Katalyk Ethnic Park, the huge Popigai meteorite crater and one of the northernmost Orthodox churches);

the city of Mtsensk in the Orel Region (the Spasskoye-Lutovinovo Estate Museum, where Turgenev grew up, Lady Macbeth’s house from Leskov’s story, the Mtsensk Lace Museum, an exhibition of downed planes);

The Golden Ridge in Chukotka (the abandoned military village of Gudym);

Donguz Orun-Kel Lake in Kabardino-Balkaria (Elbrus National Park with waterfalls, mineral springs, gorges and Mount Elbrus).

And if you want something specific in winter, namely skiing, boarding and more, here you can see the top convenient places in Russia.
