Climbing the Transverse Ridge

Köndelen Range - translated from Karachay language means "transverse". 3,047 meters above sea level. The length is 7 km, the height difference is 1700 meters. The route is suitable for trained people. Relevant from the end of May to September.

Here is the venue for popular skyrunning competitions (high-altitude running, "heavenly" running).

Start point at 1300 meters above sea level in the gorge of Jamagat.

The path passes first through a coniferous and mixed forest.

Then the forest is replaced by alpine meadows. The air is filled with the aroma of mountain flowers, which are apparently invisible here.

Even higher the grass is less and the air is cooler.

You can make a stop and admire the views.

At the top - rocks and snow, from the height opens a majestic panorama of the Caucasian mountains and the surroundings of the resort Teberda.

At the top are snowballs, bare rocks and an extraordinary sense of freedom.
