Our Trips

Classic Super Trans-Sib

Beijing to St. Petersburg

 

As a contrast to some of our trips about the culture, history and traditions of the destinations, this trip is more adventure driven and packed with outdoor activity! It even operates year round, including husky dog sledding in the Ural Mountains. There’s hiking at Lake Baikal in summer – or snowmobiles in winter. A little shot of vodka afterwards will warm you up!
