Winter in Kamchatka impressed our travelers
View all reviewsThe climate in Kamchatka is changeable in winter: today it may be sunny and calm, tomorrow there may be a blizzard and strong winds. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is often windy and damp, while the interior of the peninsula is frosty and snowy. Snow usually falls in November, and by February the drifts reach waist height. Warm clothing is essential: thermal underwear, thick trousers, a down jacket, mittens, waterproof boots, and a windproof mask.
We set a comfortable pace. There are active outings, and there is time to catch your breath: swim in the spring, take a walk, get some sleep. If you want more activity or, conversely, more quiet, we are ready to discuss everything and adjust accordingly.
Every day here is like an expedition—you can go fishing or ride snowmobiles. You can visit a volcano museum, warm up in a hot spring, visit an ethnic village, or watch the sunrise by the ocean. For those who appreciate a quiet vacation, there are also many enjoyable activities: leisurely walks along snow-covered bays with views of drifting ice floes, swimming in natural thermal pools with healing waters, and watching sea lions basking on the coastal rocks.
There won`t be any heavy loads. The climbs aren`t steep, the transfers are comfortable, and we often make stops along the way. The main thing is to dress warmly and be ready for new experiences.
Not at all. The tours have different programs — for those who just want to relax and enjoy the beauty around them, as well as for those who are ready for active recreation and conquering peaks. The only tour that requires skill and endurance is the snowmobile safari with driving.
Your journey to snow-capped volcanoes begins with choosing your plane tickets.
Flying in winter is especially advantageous. During the off-season, airlines often reduce flight prices, making travel more affordable.
A well-organized trip helps you allocate your budget wisely and choose the most convenient route. Keep an eye on airline promotions to embark on an exciting journey without unnecessary expenses.

For half a year, the peninsula lives in an amazing winter fairy tale. Travelers are greeted by serene snowy landscapes and the special atmosphere of northern comfort. At this time of year, tour prices are particularly attractive, and nature delights with the same splendor as in summer, only dressed in sparkling snow.
Even in the bitter cold, Kamchatka never stands still. Hot springs bubble, volcanoes breathe, and the ocean roars. You can relax in the silence or join in the action.
Winter entertainment options:
Volcano expeditions. Explore the snow-covered slopes of active volcanoes, where ice crystals sparkle against the backdrop of smoking fumaroles. Walks to the craters of Gorely and Mutnovsky volcanoes remain accessible throughout the winter.
Walks by the ocean. Enjoy the power of the Pacific Ocean from the shores of Halaktyrsky Beach, where icy waves create bizarre splashes on the black volcanic sand. Winter storms are a mesmerizing sight.
Thermal springs. Immersing yourself in the hot natural pools of Paratunka or Nalychevo offers a unique experience, as swirling steam meets the frosty air and your body relaxes in the healing waters.
Snowmobile trips. A snowmobile will take you to the most impressive places on the peninsula. This vehicle allows you to climb high into the mountains and see winter panoramas that are hidden during other seasons. Experienced guides will plot a route through snow-covered valleys and passes, revealing views that are inaccessible in summer.
Ski slopes. The local slopes are famous for their powder snow, which lasts from November to May. Professional instructors will help you master freeriding on the untouched slopes of volcanic massifs, and specially prepared trails are suitable for skiers of all levels.
Getting acquainted with indigenous cultures. When visiting the Koryaks and Itelmen, you will be fully immersed in the traditional way of life. You will hear throat singing accompanied by the rhythms of a tambourine, taste soup made from freshly caught fish, and learn how to make souvenirs from deer skin.
Visit to the Volcanarium. The interactive volcano museum helps you see Kamchatka from the inside. You can see how lava is formed, understand how geysers work, and even experience an earthquake simulation.
City tour. The winter city is transformed: fresh frosty air, cozy cafes with warmth rising from cups, and sparkling snow on monuments to sailors. Try freshly prepared seafood, stroll along the embankment, and see how life is lived in Russia's easternmost port.
Ice fishing. Winter fishing in Kamchatka offers unique emotions. Standing on the transparent ice of a lake, with snow-capped hills visible in the distance, you cast your line and wait for a bite from a fat char or silvery smelt. Experienced instructors will show you the best spots, provide you with tackle, and you can cook your catch right away over a smoky campfire.
Watching sea lions. A rookery of sea lions, also known as fur seals, has been preserved in Mokhovaya Bay.
Cold water surfing. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you can conquer the waves of the Pacific Ocean among floating ice floes. It is an unforgettable feeling of exhilaration and unity with nature, and special wetsuits will reliably protect you from the cold water.
Dog sledding. Feel like a real musher as you ride through snowy trails on a husky sled. Interacting with these friendly dogs will add warmth to your winter journey.
The climate of Kamchatka in winter varies from region to region. The weather is milder on the coast, with lots of snow and an average temperature of around –7 °C, often accompanied by damp winds. In the central part, you can already feel the real frost, with temperatures usually reaching -20 °C. In the north of the peninsula, winter lasts up to 7 months, with temperatures around -30 °C, and the coldest months are January and February.
Winter brings huge amounts of snow to Kamchatka. Snowdrifts on the coast grow taller than a person, and in the mountains, snow falls in layers several meters thick. The slopes and valleys look as if they have been covered with a thick white blanket, hiding trees, buildings, and rocks beneath it.
