Trekking tours in CIS countries and Russia
The Wolfin survival school has developed a series of walking and hiking tours seeking to visit little known regions of Russia and CIS countries that are difficult to access.
En route you will be able to see the beauty of nature when it is untouched and inaccessible to the casual tourist, to get to the mysterious places our massive country abounds in, and to take a rest from the stresses of urban life and all its hustle and bustle.
Throughout the course of the hiking tours you will hone your basic skills of survival in the wild, learning how to go without equipment you once thought necessary. You might find yourself ruling out your tent from your list of necessary equipment on your next expedition, you will find your own strength, realize your potential, and see yourself in a completely new light.
These tours are carried out year round.
Instructors of the Wolfin Survival School walk 12 hiking trails per year, one trail per month!
