More details about the route

Day 1. Marals and first look at Katun

We will meet you at the airport of Gorno-Altaisk. First of all, you need to have a delicious breakfast! Therefore, we are going to the eco-village “Kaimskoye”. This is a cozy, secluded corner surrounded by mountains and valleys, where deer are bred - majestic deer with powerful branched antlers, one of the main symbols of Altai. You can also find other animals here, such as horses and yak. You will have breakfast with homemade Russian cuisine and move on: ahead of us is a meeting with the legendary beauty Katunya, which originates from Belukha, the highest mountain in Altai. We will definitely make stops at observation points so that you can enjoy the view and take beautiful shots of the rocky shores and stormy waters. By 15:00 - check-in at the hotel, free time. Relax after your flight, because there are several busy and adventurous days ahead!

Day 2. Chemal and Patmos

The second day prepares for you even more meetings with the Katun, because the path to Chemal will run along this river. Along its course there are many natural attractions, near some of which we will make stops for a walk and photographs. And then the resort resort village of Chemal awaits you, where we will visit the local hydroelectric power station, located at the confluence of Chemal and Katun, and walk along the wooden suspension bridge to the island of Patmos, on which the Orthodox temple is located. This is an amazing place where natural beauty and human creations are harmoniously intertwined. We will also touch upon the traditional beliefs of the region by walking up to the Che-Chkysh valley, which is called the valley of mountain spirits. In the evening - return to the hotel.

Day 3. The most beautiful road

We set off along the Chuysky tract, which invariably ranks first in the ratings of the most beautiful roads in Russia and even the planet! As you move along the highway towards the border with Mongolia, you will be able to enjoy a gradually changing landscape: the mountains become higher and higher, growing from low hills to mountain ranges reaching into the sky. On the most ambitious mountain ranges, even in the summer heat, the snow does not melt, which looks very impressive. Along the way, we will climb two passes - Seminsky and Chike-Taman, and make stops at observation platforms to admire the panoramic views. And one of the most vivid impressions of the day will be a visit to the stormy Ilgumensky rapids. By 20-21 o'clock, full of emotions from the landscapes of the Chuysky tract, we will return to the hotel.

Day 4. Lake Teletskoye

Teletskoye Lake is a real pearl of Altai, “The Younger Brother of Baikal”. Its other name is “Altyn-Kol”, which translates as “Golden Lake”. This is a freshwater body of water more than 78 km long, the banks of which are mostly wild, preserving the diversity of Altai flora and fauna. You will see from above by taking the cable car to the top of Mount Kokkuya. Then you will have a boat excursion to the Korbu waterfall. Streams of water fall from a height of 12.5 meters, and although this is not the largest Altai waterfall, the spectacle is mesmerizing. Corbu is surrounded by graceful rocks and rich greenery; it is easy to breathe here and you feel true harmony with nature. Return to the hotel by 20-21 o'clock.

After breakfast at the hotel, transfer to the airport. See you again!
