Winter on the lake
Four different months, from the first snow to the thaw. Honest advice on what to expect.
What winter is like
Декабрь
Короткий день, огонь в камине и Новый год. Самый тихий месяц — и самый долгожданный.
Январь
Мороз, звёздные ночи и каникулы. Лыжи, снегоходы и баня после улицы.
Февраль
Длинный день и лучший снег. Время для дальних прогулок и фото.
Март
Наст, капель и длинные тени. Осторожно со льдом — только с гидом.
Sun, frost and stars
In December daylight lasts about seven hours; by February it nearly doubles. Frosts down to −30 °C happen, but the air is dry and there is little wind.
We publish road and ice conditions at reception and in our Telegram channel. If the road is closed, we help with an extra night and do not charge for it.
