This tour will be a real discovery for those who are just trying freeride out. Only in Kamchatka you have endless expanses of snowy fields with unique views over volcanoes and the ocean; only here you can ski through stone birch forest, down volcano slopes, swim in thermal pools après-ski, and savour delicious seafood and fish dishes.
Required level of skiing: stable and confident on the slopes.
Minimum freeride experience, meaning if you fall, you quickly get up and continue on, without spending time on «collecting one’s thoughts».
All additional services can be booked and paid for on the spot.
The insurance must be valid throughout the entire duration of the tour and cover the following: «freeride / off-piste skiing or snowboarding / skiing or snowboarding in non-marked areas». Merely stating «Mountain skiing» will not suffice! Medical insurance is mandatory for all tour participants.
In the combined group, we can never guarantee a certain level of skiing. We base our judgement on the answers provided by our guests to the following questions: How long have you been skiing? How often? Where do you ski? How can you define your level of skiing? But the answers are always subjective and everyone can interpret the questions differently.
With Moscow +9 hours (if it is 12:00 in Moscow, it is 21:00 in Kamchatka).
We have a variety of additional seasonal activities not included in your main tour. Please contact us for more details.
Usually a day of freeride with snowmobile drop-offs includes 6-8 descents. Each subsequent descent is paid for additionally.
Groups up to 4 people — 1 guide; 5–9 people — 2 guides; 10–15 people — 3 guides; 16–19 people — 4 guides.
When buying airplane tickets, it is important to consider the time difference between the point of departure and Kamchatka. For example, if your tour starts on 01 April, it means that you need to be in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on 01 April. And it means that you need to depart from Moscow, Novosibirsk or Irkutsk on 31 March. From Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin or Blagoveshchensk, you can depart on the same date, provided there is a convenient flight. You can arrive at any hour of the day or night of your tour start date, or earlier. Next-day (after the start date) arrival is not permitted, irrespective of the tour programme. Depending on the weather, the tour schedule may change and you risk missing the start of the tour, which is not refundable. The last date of the tour is the return flight date. You may fly back on this date or any time after. If returning to Moscow, you will land on the same date you departed from Kamchatka. The same applies to other cities in Russia, with a difference of one hour.
Your additional expenses may be alcohol, lunch on a free day, caviar, fish you may buy on the market for yourself or as a souvenir. You will also most likely want to buy presents for yourself and family and friends.
We custom-design tours for guests who do not ski or snowboard in accordance with their interests so that they still spend a lot of time with those who do: in the evenings or on certain trips. Many our guests have availed of this option!
It all depends on how bad the weather actually is. Sometimes you can take an additional tour with activities that do not include skiing or replace heli-ski with snowmobile drop-offs. If skiing is not possible, then there are tours by snowmobile or by car. For those who are ready for a completely unforgettable experience, we can offer surfing or a city tour and a visit to the unique interactive volcano museum «Vulcanarium». If you remain indoors, you can join cooking master classes to prepare Kamchatka delicacies, or interesting meetings about Kamchatka travels, history, etc.
