The wonder of nature "Disappearing Spring"

There are many wonders in the Altai Mountains. But one of them deserves special attention, since it is unlikely to be found anywhere else. A disappearing spring is two small pulsating springs about a meter in diameter and no more than a meter deep. The miracle is that the water in them lasts for only 10 minutes, after which it goes underground and the reservoirs remain dry for half an hour. The secret of the pulsating source is a powerful underground key that "turns on" clearly in a cycle. To see this wonderful sight, you will have to travel about 10 kilometers deep into the taiga by snowmobile. Fill your vacation with new emotions by seeing with your own eyes one of the most mysterious natural wonders of Altai!

The secret of the gold mine

Did you know that the second name of Lake Teletskoye is Altyn—Kel, which means "golden lake" in Altai? This name was not given to the lake by chance, since rich deposits of gold were discovered here in ancient times. According to officially documented information, an ingot weighing about eight kilograms, the largest nugget in Altai, was discovered deep in the Teletskiye Mountains. The gold mine on the Kalychak River opened at the end of the 19th century and continued its work until the middle of the 20th century. Now this place is gaining new popularity among tourists, as it serves as a direct confirmation of the richness of the Altai land. By going to the Kalichak mine on a snowmobile, you can try yourself as a gold digger. Who knows, maybe you will be able to find a nugget that will break the previous record, and a picnic from the chef will be waiting for you on the observation deck.

Mount Archie

Climbing Mount Archie is an adventure worthy of a separate story. Making your way through the dense cedar taiga and snow-covered meadows, every minute it will seem to you that you have found yourself in a protected kingdom on the edge of the earth. But admit it to yourself honestly: when else will you have the opportunity to look into a place where there is no point in resisting the wild, but you can only follow its fair rules! The ascent of Mount Archi takes place by snowmobile to the very top (more than 1,900 meters), from where you can enjoy a stunning panorama of the ridges of Ile and Korba. At the top of Archie Mountain, you will be offered lunch by our chef. Get ready for one of the most exciting adventures of your life! The tour is suitable for sporty and adventurous travelers.
