The route «Weekend in Aktru»
TOP «YUBILEE» (3404 M), PASS «TEACHER» (3100 M) AND THE BEST MUSICIANS OF RUSSIA – WE ARE WAITING FOR THE FAMOUS ALL- RUSSIAN BARDOV ALP-ART FESTIVAL
Aktru district is interesting to all lovers of active tourism, all those who do not have special sports training, families with children, slings, active grandparents. This area is also particularly attractive to artists! Karatash, dome and Blue lake attract them with their contrasts. And fans of the bard song can enjoy plenty of music,because in the mountains it sounds especially.
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, and perhaps put your personal record in trekking competitions to the top of “Teacher” 3100 m. you will see glaciers up to 200 m thick and snow-white peaks more than 4000 m high.
