Holidays in November
On the first day of November, All Saints' Day is celebrated. Nowadays, both adults and children love the holiday. People make hot heads from pumpkins and prepare treats to appease the evil spirits; they organize real hellish parties, carnivals and feasts. The hinterland of the Altai Mountains is a suitable place for an otherworldly holiday.
Military Intelligence Day should be celebrated without prying eyes. Visit a secluded resort amid the majesty of the Altai Mountains on November 5th. A separate banquet hall, a large conference room, spacious studios with mountain views - in any corner of our complex we organize a banquet of the highest standard.
Every year on November 10, Russia celebrates Police Day. Organize a real men's holiday for your colleagues with hunting, horse riding, meat dishes, a Russian bath and the cold of a mountain river. Let the dangerous and difficult service be left behind on this day. Only fun, relaxation and revelry.
November is, first of all, the first snow. If you are used to it immediately melting, then in the mountains, due to the altitude, its physical properties change, and the snow remains lying. Accordingly, first the snow falls on the mountains and brings a mood of freshness and renewal. A boring, gray landscape instantly becomes clean and romantic. It doesn't even feel like winter yet. The snow has not yet fallen under your feet, and the temperature does not drop significantly below zero, and you get a feeling of winter romance without winter as such.
First snow. View from the mountain between Cheposh and Askat.

If you go up to the mountains, there is already snow there and you can go skiing, for example on the Seminsky pass. The road there is especially interesting at this time of year. You drive calmly, not a snowflake around, it may rain, there are small puddles on the asphalt, and you are going skiing. And now you are getting closer and closer to the ski slope, but there is still no snow, and your inner voice mockingly reproduces the old rhyme: “I was standing on the asphalt, wearing skis...”, when suddenly, quite suddenly, when climbing the pass, the fog is replaced by snow. At first these are just snowflakes blown by the wind, then a cover, and then completely snowdrifts. Then the inner voice falls silent, and you realize that today you are skiing “with all your money” and putting off everything until tomorrow, because this is the first snow, and everything else can wait.

Comfortable holiday in Altai
The development of tourism is a priority direction in the economy of the republic: new tourist centers are being created, sanatorium and resort treatment is being improved, catering enterprises and the entertainment industry are developing.
Comfortable rest area
Recreation areas are located along the Katun River on the 100-kilometer section Gorno-Altaisk - Chemal and in the tourist cluster of Lake Teletskoye. Tourists who come on vacation to the Altai Mountains get all kinds of fun: riding ATVs and horses, gambling and discos, attractions for extreme sports and rafting on catamarans. The excursions organized for vacationers are incredibly diverse - the question of where to relax in Altai loses relevance for the main stream of guests here.
Welcome guests who cannot imagine a summer holiday in Altai without swimming willingly swim in the following reservoirs:
- Turquoise Katun is a warm artificial lake near the village of Manzherok;
- picturesque Lake Aya - 10 km from the village of Maima;
- Lake Manzherok - near the village of the same name.

Winter holidays in the Altai Republic are less popular than summer holidays. Winter in the Altai Mountains is Siberian, but quite mild. There are ski resorts, vacationers go skiing, snowboarding and cheesecakes. Fishing here is good even in winter - avid fishermen are proud of their catch of grayling and trout.
About the prices of a comfortable stay
There are many tourist centers and hotels in the tourist area; prices in recreation centers in Altai vary:
- from 3500 rub. per person per day - excellent conditions;
- from 1000-2000 rub. - good conditions;
- from 500 rub. - harsh hostel conditions.
A full lunch in a cafe costs 200-500 rubles, dishes of national Altai cuisine are more expensive. Hotels with full and partial board are popular. Prices in supermarkets are the same as in the center of Russia, if you take care of food yourself, you can relax in Altai inexpensively.
Guide services cost 3,000-5,000 rubles. per day, but the guides talk about the features and amazing facts of the mysterious Altai Mountains better than books. A significant part of the costs is transport; a significant number of attractions are located far from the favorite places of tourists.
The costs of Equesto tours do not seem overpriced against the background of such prices - weekly intensive tours under the “All inclusive” program cost tourists 26,500-55,000 rubles. A tour operator with nine years of experience uses well-established connections: overnight stays and meals take place in trusted places; excursion programs are distinguished by careful preparation and large coverage. Some vacationers after the tours remain at the bases for a relaxing holiday, enjoying the beauty of nature and silence.
Tourists receive detailed information about Equesto’s “Vacation in Altai 2017” offers on the company’s website; the weekly newsletter “Secrets of Holidays in Altai” becomes a useful aid in preparing for their vacation.
Rest in the wild places of Altai
A real escape from the bustle of the urban jungle is a vacation in the picturesque and sparsely populated valleys - Uimonskaya and Chulyshmanskaya. Camp sites also operate in wild places, but you should not expect comfort - tourists usually live in houses with stoves, the toilet is outside, and cellular communications are not available everywhere.
The cost of living is 300-600 rubles per person, on bases with a shower and toilet on the floor - from 1000 rubles. Food is not cheap, due to the difficulty of delivering food. However, cleanliness and caring attitude towards guests have become a tradition. The owners organize horseback and water trips, hunting tours, and climbing high mountain peaks.
From the bases of Tungur, where the road to the Uimon Valley ends, tours are conducted to the mountain - the “queen” Belukha. Climbing the beautiful and mysterious mountain range is possible for trained tourists; hikes are prepared by professional instructors.
Tours to the Multinsky, Kucherlinsky and Akkemsky lakes are popular. Most of the Altai lakes originate from glaciers - the water in them is cold, just like in mountain rivers. But the beauty and grandeur of the lakes evoke genuine admiration from vacationers.
Among the settlements in the Uimon Valley, a special place is near the ancient Russian village of Verkhniy Uimon, where a community of Old Believers with a distinctive culture and traditions was formed since the 18th century. A cultural complex of museums and creative organizations “Heritage of Altai” has been created in the village.
On the Chulyshman plateau lies Lake Dzhulukul, a wonderful place for swimming in the warm season and sacred to the Altai people. Excursions to the unique Chulyshman Valley are conducted from the tourist centers of the Ulagansky district and the village of Aktash. Travelers go on foot to the “stone mushrooms” and the cascading Chulchinsky waterfall. The “impregnable” Uchar dumps water from a 160-meter height so loudly that it drowns out the surprised exclamations of tourists.
Recreation centers also operate near the mysterious Ukok plateau - in the village of Dzhazator, Kosh-Agach district, and on the Argut River, not far from the village. Here tourists relax among the mountain cedar taiga, and excursions to the unique plateau are organized from here.
Dive into ancient history
To visit the “cradle of civilizations” and not immerse yourself in the historical heritage of Altai is unforgivable. The Republic, like a huge open-air museum, reveals treasures to tourists - numerous archaeological sites that have been formed since the Stone Age, mysterious petroglyphs on the rocks. In one of the many caves, Denisova, traces of human activity 42 thousand years old were discovered.
There are many mystical facts about the Altai Mountains. Thus, Mount Belukha, sacred to the Altai people, is equally distant from the four world oceans; three world religions meet here. The mountain has three peaks - the “dwellings of the gods” of Christianity, Buddhism and Islam.
Some tourists go to Altai for spiritual rebirth: the magical power of sacred places and magnificent nature gives travelers peace of mind and new strength.
Therapeutic holidays in Altai
Tourists also come to the republic for the purpose of health improvement. Therapeutic complexes use natural mineral and mud springs. In the tourist area there are many recreation centers with wellness treatments - mineral and antler baths (with extract from deer horns), mud wraps, massages.
The thermal springs of the Altai Mountains are also known to vacationers. The Dzhumalinsky radon springs in the area adjacent to the eastern border of the Ukok plateau have the status of a natural monument. Vacationers take thermal baths with mineral water from May to November.
The Maryin Island resort, located in the Chemalsky district, was the first in Russia to receive environmental status. The employees of the health resort are proud that the President of the country V.V. visited the resort three times.
The amazing nature of Altai - alpine meadows and snowy mountains, amazing lakes and centuries-old taiga - also perfectly restores strength. Mountain Altai is a rare place on Earth where you can drink water from any reservoir. Snow leopards and manul cats, Sailyugem bears and peregrine falcons listed in the Red Book live here.
Come to Altai! You will have a wonderful rest, gain strength and unforgettable impressions!
Have you ever dreamed of spending your summer vacation in the mountains? If you didn’t even dream of it and ended up on this site by accident, then believe me, this opportunity is worth considering! Mountains can give a variety of emotions - from calm contemplation and tranquility to delight and an adrenaline rush if you are rafting down a rapids river.The Altai Mountains are unique. First of all, they are accessible. It takes only 4 hours by plane to get to Barnaul or Novosibirsk from Moscow. In the summer, the number of flights to Gorno-Altaisk increases, from which it is even closer to the mountains. Secondly, Altai is beautiful. These are Alpine-type mountains with pointed snow-white peaks, alpine meadows, turquoise lakes and colorful rivers. Thirdly, Altai is huge, and here you can find tours for every taste. You can go with a tent to wild, hard-to-reach places, or you can live in civilization at a camp site and enjoy all the benefits of civilization.
You can come to Altai again and again. Many people, having first chosen a simple tour, come to Altai again to look at another area or try a different type of outdoor activity. Those who were at the foot of Belukha go to the Shavlinsky lakes. Those who have tried rafting go on an expedition to the Ukok plateau.
The summer tour season in Altai begins in early July and ends in the first week of September. This is due to the fact that snow melts slowly in the mountains, and autumn comes earlier than on the plain. At the beginning of the season it is still cool, but there are not many tourists and the alpine meadows are in bloom. Between July 20 and August 20 is the peak season in Altai. On popular routes you will meet other groups every now and then. We do not recommend visiting popular routes at this time, such as trekking to Mount Belukha, for people who come to Altai for solitude.
The end of the season is a very beautiful time, but at night it is already cold. You can be prepared for the first snow to fall.
Many people ask whether there are many mosquitoes in Altai in the summer and should we be afraid of ticks? There are almost no mosquitoes in Altai in summer, and there is no need to be afraid of ticks. They are active mainly in June, when tours are not yet running.
