* According to Ossetian mythology, this celestial being blesses travelers. And then our way lies to the confluence of the Ardon River and its tributary Ceydon. Here, sitting on his stone throne, the patron saint of hunting, Afsati, contemplates his possessions - pine forests. They say there was once a golden-horned deer here. The pine scent fills everything around. You will see the Monk - guardian mountain of the Tsey Gorge. Legend has it that he is a greedy hunter who did not keep his oath to Afsati. Through a picturesque gorge, we will go to the upper reaches of the Ceydon River, where it breaks out of its icy captivity and carries its rushing waters to the Ardon River. The pedestrian part of the route is 4,700 meters long and lasts 5-6 hours in both directions. The road will not be tedious, because the trail is gaining altitude gradually. The purpose of our trip is the Tseysky valley glacier. It covers the entire northern part of the Adai-Hoh mountain range. The length of the Tsey Glacier is 9 kilometers, and it descends to 2,200 meters above sea level, being the lowest descending of all glaciers in the North Caucasus. You will spend an unforgettable day surrounded by snow-white peaks, rushing rivers, and be filled with the energy of the sacred Ivardy River forest.
