Aktru district is interesting to all lovers of active tourism, all those who do not have special sports training, families with children, slingomam, active grandparents. The area is also particularly attractive to artists! Karatash, the Dome of the three lakes and the Blue lake beckon with their contrasts.
We will pass through the oldest Alpine camp Aktru (2150 m), founded in 1938, located in a relict cedar forest, which is more than 600 years old. It is here that you will feel the real big mountains and make, perhaps, your first attempt at a simple ascent. You will see glaciers up to 200 m thick and snow-white peaks more than 4000 m high.
And our active weekdays will brighten up evening concerts with the participation of the best musicians of Russia.
More about plein air:
– Let’s try to convey the color and contours of the peaks and lakes of the actru valley on paper and canvas
– Try different techniques and materials: watercolor, oil, acrylic, charcoal, tempera, pastel, pencil
– And of course, there will be master classes from our wonderful teacher-a member of the Union of artists of Russia!
