Alibek gorge - Alibek waterfall, glacier, Turje Lake

It is said that those who have not been to Alibek are the same as those who have not been to Dombai. Alibek Gorge is the most popular in the summer and one of the most beautiful. There are several options for walking:

1. To the waterfall Alibek - to it 6 km on foot or 4 km by mountain transport and then another 2 km on foot. You will be amazed by the beauty and power of the mighty 25-meter waterfall. The noise is heard far away.

2. To the waterfall Alibek, then climb the "lamb foreheads" and go to the glacier Alibek. This is one of the largest glaciers of the valley type. Be prepared to “swim” along the way. Billions of powerful splashes fly from the waterfall, you will need to pass quickly to the "lamb foreheads".

3. To Lake Turye - to it 9 km. You can drive 4 km and then 5 km on foot to the lake. This is the most beautiful moraine lake of blue color. Early in the morning, West Caucasian tours descend to him on a watering hole.

4. This option combines all the previous ones - to the waterfall, from the waterfall to the glacier, and from the glacier to the lake. Back down the trail.

And finally, it is impossible not to honor the memory of people who left their heart in the mountains forever. On the way back we go to the cemetery of climbers. Back to the hotel.
