Gorno-Altaisk is a compact and soulful capital of the Altai Republic, a gateway to the world of Siberian mountains and ancient legends. The city combines modern comfort and an atmosphere of proximity to nature: routes to the glaciers of Belukha, the shores of Katun and quiet village trails are born here, and the local culture preserves the traditions of the Altai peoples.
Man-made sights of Gorno-Altaisk and the surrounding area surprise with a variety: from memorials and monuments, such as a monument to fighters for Soviet power, to architectural and infrastructural objects - hanging and federal bridges across Katun, a suspension bridge on the island of Patmos and a road to the temple of St. John the Theologian. Altai Reserve and Extreme Tourism Park operate in the city and nearby, and the unique Erlik Gate and Park with installations add color and history to the route.
Natural pearls of the region are striking in their uniqueness: the mountains of Belukha, Aktru-Bashi, Sinyukha and Devil's Finger offer alpine species and trekking, and the lakes Aychonok, Aya, Kucherlin, Manzherok, Blue lakes and artificial lake Blue Katun beckon turquoise water. Teletskoye Lake, Ukok Plateau, Kurai Valley and picturesque rivers – Katun, Bia, Chibitka, Ursul and Chemal – create landscapes for fishing, rafting and quiet walks. The waterfalls of Achelman, Korbu and Chechkish, as well as the magical Taldin caves, add to the list of things to see in the surrounding area.
On our site, all these places can be seen on an interactive map: marked points with brief descriptions, photos and practical information will help you understand what attractions you are interested in. You will easily build a route in time and distance, mark convenient points for stops and make your own program of walking or intensive outing in nature.
You can go on the routes yourself, enjoying the freedom and leisurely walks, or you can book a tour with local guides - they will tell legends, discover little-known trails and show places that do not always fall into standard routes. Excursions will help to better understand the culture of the region, safely plan complex transitions and get more impressions in less time.
Come to Gorno-Altaisk and discover Altai in all its manifestations: from noisy rivers and glacial peaks to quiet shores and historical monuments. Plan your trip, create your itineraries and let this edge give you new experiences and lively emotions.
