First, we will visit the homeland of the Soviet film director, actor and writer V.M. SHUKSHIN — in the village of SROSTKI, where we will climb the PICKET line. From here there is a view of Katun and we will see the first mountain, BABYRGAN. You can use it to determine the weather, and the mountain itself is the center of magnetism!
The next stop is a whole COMPLEX of MONUMENTS symbolizing the national flavor, history and vital activity of the Altai people.
After lunch, we walk away from Katun and move to the CHIKE TAMAN pass, where the views from the observation decks are breathtaking. The cliffs, cliffs and mountain serpentine roads leave an indelible impression of this place.
Yes, we really have an eventful day today, we will visit the sacred place of CHUI-OOZI, learn the history of the CHUI HIGHWAY and the first drivers who drove along it – this will be the MONUMENT to KOLKA SNEGIREV stop.

day 02
MARS, GLACIERS, AND A HIDDEN LAKE. By car 200 km.
Type of accommodation:Hotel
In the morning we will stop at the colorful GEYSER LAKE, which is hidden in the forest. It's Blue, Silver, Geyser – there are many names, but the lake is one. Blue clay has painted the bottom with bizarre shapes and they are constantly changing at the moment when the underground springs begin to beat! Many legends are associated with this place, they say that the water here does not freeze in winter!
We will drive to the KURAI STEPPE and admire the AKTRU glaciers, which rise more than 4,000 meters! Here is a "mecca" for climbers, dozens of routes and passes, the kingdom of ice and snow. And on the deserted surface in front of the mountain range, you can see the giant ripples of the current, the largest in the world!
Let's visit ALTAI MARS with you! These mountains have been hidden under the water column for millions of years, being part of the relict Chuya Lake, but now we can observe them. They consist of hundreds of geological strata, painted in variegated colors, from yellow and green to red and burgundy.
We will also have an exciting walk to MARS 2 (the route takes 2 hours, about 6 km without significant altitude gain). The path will lead us along the river, where vegetation is only sparse shrubs and bizarrely shaped trees. The soil is cracked everywhere, traces of erosion and unearthly landscapes are the beginning of the Chuya steppe.
day 03
A LAND OF LAKES AND ENDLESS FORESTS. By car 200 km.
Type of accommodation:Hotel
The first stop is the RED GATE, where crimson cliffs rise above the gorge, and a fast river breaks through the breakers below and the sound of its waters echoes.
Dozens of unique lakes will surround us from all sides, and we will gradually rise to a height of more than 2000 meters, where the ULAGAN PASS, a sacred place of Altai, is located. There is a cedar smell of taiga, larch and Altai expanses all around.
We make a stop at the PAZYRYK MOUNDS, where the history of the Scythians is preserved and you can feel the spirit of the millennia.
And here in front of us is the KATU-YARYK pass – this is the PLACE OF POWER of ALTAI, below, as if in the palm of your hand, the valley of the CHULYSHMAN river stretches, and the height difference is about 700 meters! A green river runs like a ribbon to Lake Teletskoye, waterfalls fall from the mountains.
day 04
THE RAPIDS OF KATUN and THE ALTAI SANCTUARY. By car 600 km.
Type of accommodation:Not included
Today we will continue our journey along the CHUISKY HIGHWAY. This road is one of the most picturesque in Russia.: alluring mountains, swirling rivers, snowy peaks merging with clouds — in such a place you want to take a million photos and still it seems that there are not enough frames!
Let's look at the stone stele of the Bronze Age and get acquainted with the history of the Scythians in the sanctuary of ADYR-KAN. There are hundreds of petroglyphs on the sheer cliff, made by an archaic painting technique several thousand years ago.
We will discover an unusual sight – the KATUN RIVER TERRACES. Platforms of various widths leveled by nature form huge steps, some of them are more than 100 meters above the river level.
Let's stop at the threshold of ILGUMEN – the power of the water element in all its glory. It is a fascinating sight beyond words. You can watch the swirling stream for hours, as the KATUN accelerates its movement and huge waves soar upward.
Then we move to the SEMINSKY PASS. The ascent begins and soon we will be at an altitude of 1717 METERS! Here, the kingdom of cedars is a unique place in Altai, where you can touch these amazing trees!
Along the way, we will have the opportunity to buy souvenirs, if you have not yet had time to choose a gift from Altai, we will make a stop at the tourist bazaar: herbal teas, honey, and pine nuts are here.
