Kirovsk and Khibiny: Northern Mountains and a Snowy village

09.03.2026

The Khibiny Mountains — the largest mountain range on the Kola Peninsula, approximately 390 million years old. Snow-white ridges, ancient glaciers, and views that feel like another planet. This is a journey into the heart of the Kola Arctic, where nature reveals its majestic beauty.

ABOUT THE TOUR

An eventful day in the city of Kirovsk awaits you. We’ll take the cable car up Mount Aikuaivenchorr (1075 meters) for a panoramic view of the Khibiny, visit the magical “Snow Village” with its ice sculptures, and learn about the region’s riches at the “Apatit” Museum and Exhibition Center.

Departure from Murmansk at 8:00 AM, return around 7:15 PM. The drive takes about 3 hours each way, but the scenery outside the window and the guide’s stories will keep you engaged.
