Walk on the wild side – Top adventure trips in Russia

Home / Walk on the wild side – Top adventure trips in Russia

Travelling to Russia might sound like an adventure on its own (in the form of visa requirements and language complications). But if you’re an adrenaline-driven tourist, then going off the beaten track and travelling outside of the major cities could deliver one of the most epic experiences of your life.  As the world’s largest country, Russia spans nine time zones and two continents, making it the ideal destination for adventurers at heart. Wondering what to do while exploring the space between the Gulf of Finland and the Bering Straight? Miles Away Travel has just the information you need! Take a look at our roundup of the best adventure trips in Russia:

 

Mind-blowing adventure trips in Russia

Lose your heart in the wilderness of the Kamchatka Peninsula

Flanked by the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk, Kamchatka is a peninsula which is centred by a range of smouldering volcanoes. The peninsula is located in the Ring of Fire – a circle of active volcanoes in the Pacific – and is perhaps one of the country’s most popular adventure destinations. One of the best adrenaline activities in Kamchatka is heli-skiing, where adventurers get dropped off by helicopters and ski their way down the volcanoes on fresh powder.

 

Go ice diving or ice biking on Baikal Lake

Baikal is the world’s largest, deepest, and oldest lake and lies straight in the heart of Siberia. In the dead of winter, temperatures plummet below -25⁰C, making it the ideal spot to do some ice diving and biking on the ice.  Divers come to Baikal for the pristine visibility of the lake’s waters, which is virtually crystal clear thanks to the ice that covers the water like a layer of glass, allowing for optimum light conditions.

 

Take your shot at climbing Mt. Elbrus

Located in the South-West of Russia, Mt. Elbrus lies close to the Georgia border near the Caucasus Mountains. It’s officially the highest peak in Europe and stands tall at 5640m, making it any mountain climber’s dream. Climbing Mt. Elbrus is free, unlike most of the Seven Summits of the world. Due to weather conditions, the climb might be a little intense. But hikers reckon it’s one of the easiest climbs as far as technicalities are concerned.

 

Hike up a storm in the Altai Region

Since hiking is one of the best ways to explore Russia’s vast landscapes, it only seems natural that it should be mentioned in this roundup-style post. Yes, Russia has an abundance of nature reserves and mountains that are ideal for hiking. But one of them stands out from the crowd.

The Altai Region is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and is spread across Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and China. And rest assured: there’s something on offer for everyone here. If you’re not particularly keen on hiking, you could always try your hand at horseback riding or rafting. The region literally has an abundance of sightseeing options to choose from. From turquoise lakes to mountain rivers. Dense forests and glaciers. Waterfalls and some of the most intriguing caves in the world, you name it, the Altai has got it!

We've used MilesAway ever since our trip from France to South Africa, and always phone when travelling anywhere. We've never met anyone from MilesAway, but that didn't stop them from helping us greatly.
Angelique, France
In our company we struggled with travel, because we would be in China for example, and have a problem with changing our flights, or need to add some accommodation to our booking, and our travel agents were always unavailable. MilesAway is a breeze. One call, and everything is handled efficiently. No hassles, just feedback and service. We've never looked back!
Jannie van Tonder, South Africa
Superb, fantastic - helped us out at the direst of moments and we'll use them again any day!
Paul Funtres, USA
In our industry, our employees fly often and also after-hours, so we were happy to find MilesAway who could assit us anytime of the day. Perfect service!
Jennifer Bonft, South Africa
Milla, many thanks for the excellent service and quick turnaround time when arranging our team incentives. It is really difficult to please everyone on a group incentive and I was able to pull it off with no complications and only great reviews, thanks to you. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a BIG THANK YOU for everything and specifically for having the patience and attention to detail with all the changes. I really enjoy working with people who are professional and reliable, and you are definitely both. Working with you is a pleasure and I look forward to working with you in the future.
Samantha Morgan, DAV Professional Placement Group
I would like to thank and congratulate Milla from MilesAway for her prompt and excellent service! Trust a man to ask his wife at 5pm to arrange him a flight from George to Cape Town for the earliest leaving plane the next morning - I know, almost impossible! Thank goodness for Google -this is where I found MilesAways' info, I sent an email containing my enquiry and within minutes I received a reply from Milla. She managed to secure a ticket as requested and my payment and booking was almost effortless. She kept me informed both telephonically and by email and by 9pm she mailed me his e ticket! Amazing! This was not the end, darling husband missed his flight, I know, couldn't believe it myself. I contacted Milla, calmly and once again promptly, she arranged for another flight, which he decided not to take. Her last correspondence to me was stating that we had 3 months to change and use the flight ticket. Now this is what I call excellent service, so next time make sure you contact Milla, because MilesAway IS the way to go... Anywhere!!!
Alda Mills, Plettenberg Bay
Firstly, we would like to thank Milla for all her hard work, time and efforts, she is really fantastic and has gone out of her way. She managed to find the best hotels, itinerary and options within our budget for a 3 week holiday to the USA in December. I would definitely advise anyone travelling to chat to Milla first. Thank you, Miles Away and looking forward to our best holiday yet!!!

My husband and I went to Mauritius for our honeymoon in March and we couldn’t have been happier with our hotel and how easy it was to book everything with Miles Away! Our transfer was quick and easy with our own personalized driver. Once we arrived at the hotel we were welcomed with drinks and very kind staff at the Paul Et Virginie Veranda Resort.

We were also given a candlelit dinner for our honeymoon and fresh fruit and champagne on arrival. Our room was lovely and clean and we got to enjoy some beach activities that were included such as snorkeling and paddle boarding.

Overall a wonderful experience that we will never forget! We are so happy that we went through Miles Away. We will definitely be using them again and would recommend Miles Away to everyone!
