Freeride in the Vysokogorny Valley (Luzhba)
From 85 000₽ per person
Description
Type: Multi-day activity
* Highland Valley
This place is very far from the main freeride areas. There is an almost one hundred percent chance that we will be completely alone in the valley and will not encounter any competition. This program is essentially the quintessence of all freeride in Luzhba and the Celestial Teeth, for true connoisseurs of taiga solitude and exclusive skiing. According to some riders, in terms of the number and variety of locations, the Vysokogorny Valley is not inferior even to the famous Mamai.
The freeride program in the Vysokogorny Valley is a comprehensive project that compactly collects all the variety of terrain that can be found in Luzhba and the Celestial Teeth: these are steep and technical couloirs in the forest area, a huge diverse alpine area, mountains with smooth and measured relief for calm skiing, and even various combinations of all types of skiing within the same descent line with elevation differences of more than 1000 m.
Here you will not find snow trucks, cable cars and other mechanized lifting equipment, only backcountry. We do all the ascents on foot (snowshoes, skis, splitboard). Here you will enjoy not only the descent along the untouched slopes, but also the ascent among the picturesque landscapes.
Dates in the 2025 season:

day 01
The first day
Type of accommodation:Camping
At 5:00 am, all participants of the program will meet in Novokuznetsk at the suburban railway station (2a Transportnaya Street).
Getting to know the guides.
Transfer by train to the city of Mezhdurechensk. Transfer to the next train and transfer to Luzhba station (arrival at 9:22).
At the station, load our backpacks into the snowmobile's cargo sled, assemble the splitboards / skis into skiing mode, cling to the rope and tow the snowmobile to the Vysokogorny shelter (27 km). There will be rest and lunch stops along the way.
We arrive after lunch or in the late afternoon (depending on the quality of the snowmobile road) at the shelter, check in, settle down, adjust our daily routine and relax after a long road.
day 02
The second day
Type of accommodation:Camping
Today we are going to the location, which we called "Cascade" (the southeastern spur of Zapsib Peak).
We roll out, we pace, we get used to the equipment.
The approach to the foot of the shelter is within 1 hour.
We are trampling the lifting path, which will serve us on the next day of skiing at this location.
Today we are riding through wide glades with a small drop, saving our strength for further high-altitude skittering.
We make up to 5 jumps per day.
day 03
The third day
Type of accommodation:Camping
We continue to ride the Cascade.
Today we are already moving to more technical and extended couloirs of this location, with a good slope and quite narrow, so only after a careful assessment of the avalanche situation on this spot do we decide on descents.
In case of an unfavorable situation, we go for backup options, which are more than enough on this mountain and in the valley as a whole.
In the evening, we will definitely flood the sauna, which we will have unlimited access to.
day 04
The fourth day
Type of accommodation:Camping
Today we are going to a high-altitude ski trip to Gamova Peak (1748 m).
We climb the Ozerny pass (1550 m), from the pass along the eastern slope we head towards the top.
Before reaching the top, we move along the narrow ridge on foot, securing the skis / splits on backpacks.
Next, we will descend through the huge fields of the alpine zone of Gamova Peak, which turn into steep technical couloirs in the forest area.
The total drop is 830 m.
If you have the strength (and you should have it left), we make another ascent to Gamow Peak and draw a new beautiful line (it is possible to start the descent earlier, before reaching the top, depending on the condition of the group).
day 05
Fifth day
Type of accommodation:Camping
The last day of skiing.
Today we suggest you take a measured walk in the highlands up the Waterfall stream to the circus of Zapsib Peak.
After enjoying the surroundings of the highest peaks of the Celestial Teeth range, we will make the longest descent in our entire program, along a huge glacial valley through the alpine fields of the Waterfall circus.
Important: in case of heavy snowfalls that can cover the snowmobile road, it is possible to get to the Luzhba station on day 5, as there is a risk of missing the train due to the large amount of snow.
If this scenario is implemented, we will spend the night in Luzhba and on day 6 we will ride in the area of the station until the arrival of the train.
day 06
The sixth day
Type of accommodation:Camping
Early rise.
After breakfast, we load backpacks into the sled of a cargo snowmobile, assemble the skis/splits into skiing mode, cling to the rope and tow the snowmobiles back to Luzhba station (27 km).
Upon arrival, we have lunch at a cafe and at 15:30 we take a train with a transfer to Mezhdurechensk. We move to Novokuznetsk, where we arrive at 19:15.
