This trip is a great mix of history, tourism, and outdoor activities! The real time communication on logistics was reassuring and greatly appreciated. Everyone we met, from the knowledgable guides to the friendly hosts or drivers were great. We were happy to have been able to borrow boots and overalls for the snow mobile ride. We did not see the northern lights due to overcast weather at night.

Ce sont de véritables fêtes de fin et début d'année en nuit polaire, dans une vaste nature et splendide de surcroît, les aurores boréales, tous les ingrédients réunis pour vivre l'intense dans un manteau neigeux épais.
Se débrouiller un peu en langue russe aussi, les échanges en sont facilités, et les gens viennent a vous tout comme vous allez à leur rencontre.
J'ai vraiment tout aimé, le contact
