Snowy Kraka - 7 days

     The Southern Urals is an ideal place for winter recreation. Here winter is frosty and snowy; mountains are covered with deep white snow and shine in the sun, and amaze you with their grandeur and beauty.
     We invite you to travel on horse-drawn sleighs or ride a horse on the forest and mountain paths!
     The exotic horse sleighing route goes along the spur of the mountain ridge called Kraka-Tau, in the flood-lands of the rivers Kaga and Agidel (Belaya).
     If you love winter traveling, you will be surely impressed by horses running really fast. Blizzards playing with all colours of rainbow strew people driving in a sleigh with snow dust; pictures are changing so fast that it creates a very impressive perception of the world. And after that you can enjoy rest in a hospitable centenarian house built of pine and larch, and have a cup of hot herbal tea with Bashkir honey.
     In addition, the horse sleighing tour can be supplemented with snowmobiling, skiing and skating.
