Salekhard Travel Guide

Russia

Salekhard is a small Russian city of 38,025 people in the far north of the country, in the Arctic region. Its high-latitude setting means long, cold winters and short, cool summers.

Most visitors arrive through Salekhard Airport (SLY), the city’s listed airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Salekhard is better suited to travellers interested in its northern setting than to a traditional beach break.
