Pitkyaranta is a small town in the southern part of the Republic of Karelia, located in the northwest of Russia. It stretches in a narrow strip along the northeastern coast of Lake Ladoga - where rocky mountains give way to sandy-pebble beaches strewn with bizarre boulders.
The past of Pitkäranta, whose name means "Long Coast" in Finnish, is inextricably linked with the history of three states - Russia, Sweden and Finland. Unfortunately, ancient monuments have not survived here, but Pitkyaranta is widely known to travelers due to the beauty of the magnificent untouched nature surrounding it.
Outwardly, Pitkyaranta is a rather ordinary provincial town, but in the century before last and in the past, her name was often found in scientific works and military chronicles. In the 19th century, a real treasury of minerals was discovered on the territory of the modern Pitkyaranta region, which made it possible to call these regions one of the most outstanding regions of Russia in terms of the content of valuable ores and minerals. In the XX century, the land became the arena of two wars - the Soviet-Finnish and the Second World War. Most of the historical sights in Pitkäranta and its environs keep the memory of military events.
The city cannot boast of a developed tourist infrastructure. Comfortable hotels and high-end culinary establishments are absent here. Travelers arriving in Pitkyarantu stay mainly in tourist complexes, located in the bosom of wonderful nature outside the city.
Local recreation centers are quite comfortable, however, tourists do not come here for comfort. They are more attracted by a wide range of services provided in tourist complexes, including a visit to Valaam Island, Ladoga Skerries National Park, trips to magnificent waterfalls. Safari tours, fishing, hunting are organized for travelers. In winter, snowmobile tours, off-road tours, fishing in holes on the ice of Lake Ladoga are popular in the Pitkyaranta region. The rivers of this region are well known to fans of extreme rafting, and the mountain ranges of the Impilahti village located near Pitkyaranta are considered the best place for rock climbing in Karelia.
