Mountain Altai
The Altai Mountains offer stunning natural beauty in both summer and winter. Photos from here could easily be mistaken for those of the Alps or the Pyrenees: snow-capped peaks, blooming valleys, breathtaking waterfalls, and turbulent rivers. Add to this the region's rich history and culture, a cuisine made with local produce (game, berries, the freshest fish, cheese, and honey from local apiaries), and endless opportunities for outdoor activities… It's no wonder tourists return again and again, year-round.
Season in Altai: summer season from May to the end of October, winter from December to March.
Transport: Mercedes minibuses, prepared SUVs, Eurocopter helicopters, snowmobiles.
Chuysky Tract
Ranked among the top 10 most beautiful roads in the world by National Geographic, the Chuysky Tract is sure to captivate you with its breathtaking views
Mount Belukha
One of the highest mountains in Russia and the highest point in Altai (4,509 m). A must-see for anyone who loves mountains. The Katun, Altai's main river, originates on the snow-capped slopes of Belukha.
Lake Teletskoye
"Baikal's little brother," a sprawling lake with picturesque bays and rocky shores. It's easiest to reach the lake from the north. The journey to the southern lake, Lake Teletskoye, is more challenging, but the views along the way are worth it!
Chulyshman River Valley
The view of the valley from the Katu-Yaryk Pass is perhaps one of the most majestic sights in Altai. The valley itself is sparsely populated and free of crowds of tourists, but it boasts dozens of waterfalls and true places of power.
Geyser Lake
A mesmerizing sight: a small lake with blue clay and springs that draw fantastic patterns on the water.
Altai "Mars"
You don't need a rocket to travel to another planet—we'll take you to the Altai Mars, where the cosmic landscape of every shade of red contrasts with the snow-white peaks of the South Chuya Range on the horizon.
Uchar Waterfall
The largest waterfall in Siberia (approximately 160 meters). Its name translates as "inaccessible" or "flying"—both of which are perfectly apt.
We know the recipe for an unforgettable trip!

Winter Katun
The Katun River in winter is a breathtaking sight! The mountain river doesn't freeze completely; in many sections, it remains open, vibrant, and turbulent. Boiling rapids amidst snow- and ice-covered, hibernating nature… A dazzling turquoise against the white snowdrifts… It's definitely worth seeing!
You can stroll along the ice along the shore, taking in the impenetrable cliffs and quiet dams. And if you put your ear to the ice, you'll hear the gentle murmur of the water, which, even under its winter blanket, continues its uninterrupted flow.

Helicopter ride to Belukha
The highest point in the Altai Mountains is 4,509 meters above sea level. Only climbers with high-altitude training have the opportunity to reach the summit, traversing eternal glaciers and snow-covered cliffs, and enjoy the pristine beauty and panoramic views of the mountain ranges. Due to acclimatization, the ascent takes up to two weeks, but you can reach it in just a three-hour helicopter flight! Along the way, we'll see the Akkem Glacier, the Valley of Seven Lakes, and Lake of Mountain Spirits.
The program includes a flight around Belukha's two peaks and a landing on Lake Akkem. Here we'll rest, have a picnic overlooking the mountain ranges, and take some fantastic photos to remember the adventure.

Chulyshman River Valley
The most beautiful places with untouched nature are always difficult to access. Such is the Chulyshman Valley, formed by the retreat of a glacier. The panorama of the valley from the Katu-Yaryk Pass is one of the "calling cards" of Altai, but only a few tourists get to see it in person, as the road there is not exactly easy. The valley is also home to the famous "stone mushrooms," Uchar Waterfall (the largest in Altai), and Kurkure Waterfall.
Transportation: You can choose the most convenient travel format for you.
1 - Drive through the valley to Lake Teletskoye in an SUV (gravel road, the trip takes two to three days and is only available in the summer).
2 - See the main sights from a helicopter (3 hours). Stops for picnics and photo sessions are included (winter and summer).
