Upper Shavlinskoye Lake

Russia, Republic of Altai

Description:

Upper Shavlinskoye Lake is located at the foot of the large Shavlinsky glacier, descending from the top of the North Chui Ridge. The waters have a rich turquoise hue due to a large amount of glacial mud. To plunge into it can only be a daredevil - rarely when the pond warms up to a comfortable temperature for swimming.

Travelers going to the Shavlinsky Lake will have to go through a rather difficult path. But all difficulties will be forgotten when looking at the beauty of wildlife. From the Upper Lake you can climb to the North Chui Ridge. It will be an unforgettable journey in complexity and emotion.

You can reach the place only by a narrow path from the village of Chibit. In order not to get lost, you should take a guide.
