The best season for travel in Altai Mountains

Summer adventures in Altai

During the summertime, the sights of Altai are obviously much more accessible, and avid hikers can get there without special vehicles. In the warm period of the year, Altai is various.

At the end of April — the beginning of May the mountains of Altai are decorated by heather rosebay flowers, and the water of Katun river resembles the colour of fresh milk. The abundant breakup leads to the rise of river levels. The local spring flood attracts lovers of extreme rafting (the complexity of the rapids significantly increases).

From the middle of July, the water of Katun changes its colour and obtains a unique turquoise shade. The brightest turquoise colour shade of Katun is at the end of August. In summer Russians travel to Altai for the warm streams of the sun. There is a top tourist inflow during this time.

In September Altai paints the forests and mountains into bright autumn colours. In the second decade of the month, you will probably enjoy Indian summer.

The relief of Altai is determined by its climate. Thus, in some places in October there is snow, but in others, it’s still warm autumn.
