About the Khibiny mountains
The Khibiny are the highest mountains of the Kola Peninsula, and Kirovsk at their foot is the most popular ski resort of the Russian North. In winter the mountains are covered with deep snow, and the Snow Village turns into a real ice palace. A perfect day for mountain views and winter fairy tales!
