Arctic Wilderness Cabin

7 Days

Overview

Dreaming of a trip far from the crowds? This is the answer.

Book one of our wilderness cabins to experience the incredible peace and seclusion of the Russian Arctic. You’ll have a guide nearby to make sure that you’re safe in unfamiliar territory, but you get to decide how much you’d like to interact.

Price is based on double occupancy: a single supplement of 200 will apply if you are a single traveller and are not happy to share a twin room.

Contact us via email or phone if your preferred dates are unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What clothing do I need to bring?

In July the weather is usually quite warm during the day, but temperatures can drop significantly overnight. We recommend bringing both a lightweight and thicker down (or equivalent) jacket. Multiple layers are recommended so that you can dress for different temperatures. You can hire your outer layers from us if you arrive and find that it’s colder than expected!

In the winter the temperatures may drop as low as -50C so appropriate Arctic cold weather gear is essential for fishing out on the ice. We will provide a recommended packing list.

You’ll also need a swimsuit for the banya if you wish to visit during your trip!

Can I add any additional days or activities to the tour?

You can book a trip to the Banya in Salekhard in advance – this is a mixed banya and you should bring swimwear if you book this option.

We recommend considering the addition of a visit to the Nenets – Indigenous Nomadic reindeer herders of Siberia. You can spend the night with them in their chum and experience what life is like living in the Arctic year round.

We’re always happy to discuss any further customisations to trips. Please email or call us with additional queries.

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

Please inform us at the time of booking so that we can ensure we are able to source the required ingredients.
