Sakhalin in winter is a magical world where snowfields and crystal-clear skies unite to create an unforgettable sight. The best way to explore this cold beauty is to go by snowmobiles, thus making your way to these two marvelous capes - Ptichy and Velikan.
Under the shroud of winter, Cape Ptichy turns into a fairytale place. Snowy cliff tops and the silence of the snow-covered coast, interrupted by the cries of birds and the hum of the sea, make this place magical.
During the Japanese occupation, the winter journey to the observation point at Cape Ptichy was one of the most difficult, due to harsh weather conditions.
Cape Velikan (Giant) in winter seems totally mystical. The stone pillars covered with snow and frost really resemble giants wrapped in snow-white robes.
Traveling by snowmobiles will allow you to see the inaccessible beauty of these places. Discover a new side of the island's beauty!
