4 Valaam Monastery and Ladoga skerries

Ladoga Skerries Nature Reserve is one of the ten most popular tourist destinations in Russia and annually welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the country.

One of the main routes is a trip to Valaam Island: from St. Petersburg or Moscow via Sortavala. This is one of the most sought-after destinations when planning a vacation in Karelia.

Valaam Island is the pearl of the archipelago, which has more than 600 rocky islands. Here, 50 km from Sortavala, is the famous Valaam Monastery compound, a place of strength, silence and spiritual inspiration.

A boat trip along the skerries and an excursion to Valaam can be booked directly on our website — the administrator will select a convenient time and route.

And to make your vacation truly calm and comfortable, rent a country house in Sortavala.
