·        Because of the global warming, for some years already we have not had those notorious frosts of -40⁰ C. Besides, even night temperature of -30⁰ C has become rare.

·        We recommend you to visit Baikal from February till April, because during daytime the temperature reaches 0⁰ C (and sometimes is even higher), and the vast frozen surface of the Lake is an ideal site for almost all sorts of winter outdoor activities.

·        Finally, there is a well-spread saying: “A true Siberian is not the one, who never feels cold; that is the one, who is warmly clothed”. With the modern technologies of producing warm-saving clothes, footwear and outfit, you will feel warm and comfortable despite negative temperatures.  

Our winter tours are largely based on snowmobiling, dog-sledding and ATV-riding both in the taiga forest and on the ice. At the same time we offer trekking, hiking and, of course, sightseeing tours, which are mostly connected with the New Year holidays. Those who are fond of skiing and skating can enjoy the boundless opportunities given by our snow and ice expanses.

As the solid ice appears on the lake at the end of January, our tours can be roughly divided into two groups: those organized before Baikal is frozen, and therefore traversing the forested spaces of Pribaikalskiy mountain range, and the ones available after the ice reaches its safe thickness (over 30 cm), and major part of the outdoor activities are moved to the lake. Ice tours are available approximately from the 1^st of February till the 1^st of April. However, weather conditions may alter these terms somehow.
