Buggy and quad bike excursions in Altay

The Disappearing Spring
There are many miracles in the Altay Mountains, but one of them deserves special attention. The disappearing spring is two small lakes in diameter of about two metres and no more than a metre deep. The miracle is that the water in them lasts for a total of 10 minutes, after which it drains away underground and for half an hour the reservoirs remain dry. The secret of the pulsating source is in a powerful underground spring, which is «turned on» consistently in a cycle. To see this wonderful sight, it is necessary to pass through several kilometres into the taiga on a quad bike or buggy, and this forest walk alone will leave you with a lot of vivid impressions. Fill your vacation with new emotions, seeing with your own eyes one of the most mysterious natural wonders of Altay!

Kalychak Gold Mine
Did you know that the second name of Lake Teletskoe is Altyn-Kl, which means «Golden» in Altay? This name was given to the lake by chance, since in ancient times rich deposits of gold were discovered here. According to officially documented information, an ingot weighing about eight kilograms was found in the depths of the Teletskie Mountains, the largest of its kind in Russia. The gold mine on the river Kalychak opened at the end of the 21st century and continued operating until the middle of the 20th century. Now this settlement is gaining new popularity among tourists, as it is a direct confirmation of the wealth of the Altay land. Having reached the Kalychak mine on a quad bike or buggy, you can try out being a gold miner. Who knows, maybe you will be able to find a nugget that will beat the previous record!

Mount Archie
Climbing Mount Archie is an adventure worthy of a separate story. As you make your way through the dense cedar taiga and flowering alpine meadows, every minute will seem to you as if you are in a secret kingdom on the edge of the earth. But admit to yourself honestly: when else you will have the opportunity to explore such a place where there is no point in resisting the wild nature, and where you can only follow its rules! The ascent of Mount Archie is partly on quad bikes and buggy, and partly on foot - to the very top (more than 1,900 metres), from where an amazing view opens to the Iolgo and Korbu ridges. Get ready for one of the most impressive adventures in your life!
