Russia Travel Guide Overview

For further information visitors should seek official advice. The Russian Federation covers almost twice the area of the United States of America, and reaches from Moscow in the west over the Urals and the vast Siberian plains to the Sea of Okhotsk in the east. The capital, Moscow, was founded in 1147. The focal point of the city is Red Square, on one side of which is the Kremlin surrounded by a thick red fortress wall containing 20 towers. The tsars were crowned here; Ivan the Terrible's throne is situated near the entrance. Those interested in Russia's achievements in the field of space travel should visit Star City, just outside Moscow, which is a cosmonaut training complex open to visitors. St Petersburg, northwest of Moscow, is known both as a cultural center and for its elegant buildings. The city is spread over 42 islands in the delta of the River Neva. Wide boulevards, tranquil canals and bridges led to the city being known as the 'Venice of the North'. The Palace Square and the Winter Palace are among the most interesting sites for followers of Russian history. The Hermitage houses all the vast treasures of the former tsars. For those wishing to get a better idea of the huge variety of scenery in the Russian Federation, cruises can be taken along the mighty Volga River between Kazan, the cultural center of the Tartars, to Rostov-on-Don, once an Armenian town and the gateway to the Caucasus. Russian cuisine is based on the staples of buckwheat (to make porridge or blini ), borshch (beetroot soup) or shashlik (shish kebab). Whole roast suckling pig, roast goose stuffed with buckwheat, and roast duck stuffed with apples are served at parties and for special occasions. Geography The Russian Federation covers almost twice the area of the USA, and reaches from Moscow in the west over the Urals and the vast Siberian plains to the Sea of Okhotsk in the east. The border between European Russia and Siberia (Asia) is formed by the Ural Mountains, the Ural River and the Manych Depression. European Russia extends from the North Polar Sea across the Central Russian Uplands to the Black Sea, the Northern Caucasus and the Caspian Sea. Siberia stretches from the West Siberian Plain across the Central Siberian Plateau between Yenisey and Lena, including the Sayan, Yablonovy and Stanovoy ranges in the south to the East Siberian mountains between Lena and the Pacific coast, including the Chukotskiy and Kamchatka peninsulas.

Ski Vacation season runs

Utah Vacations: Sundance one of Utah Ski Resorts: The Greatest Snow on Earth Utah Ski Resorts: The Greatest Snow on Earth Not so long ago in a state far, far away, downhill skiing dominated Utah’s winter sports. A wider variety of activities has broadened Utah’s winter appeal to a wider population of vacationers. Winter vacationers in Utah are no longer just for hard-core downhill skiing fanatics. Sundance offers the Art Shack for creating and developing the artistic mind, the Sundance Spa to unwind and relax with a variety of spa services and a variety of on and off property excursions like snowshoeing, hot air ballooning and golf. Utah is not just a skier’s paradise. Snowboarding is just as popular as skiing in Utah. Sundance offers sliders of all sorts a variety of terrain. Utah’s ski resorts have bent over backward to try to accommodate as many people as possible with programs for children, women, snowboarders, skiers with disabilities, recreational racers & the list goes on. Sundance is no different offering many different programs with the specialty of personalized Ski School. The Utah Ski Vacation season runs approximately from mid-November to mid-April, depending on the resort and the location. The best package deals usually apply early and late in the season; for packages, check not only with each resort but also with major airlines (American, Continental, Delta, and United) that service Utah. Many resorts open late and shut down early, not for lack of snow but for lack of business. In fact, some of the best backcountry skiing can be had in late April and May, when avalanche risks subside and the firmer, sun-baked snow is easier to walk and climb on than midwinter powder. Just because the ski resorts give up on skiing doesn't mean you have to.
