The tour will take half a day.

The departure time will be clear according to the weather conditions, usually at 9:00.

On Lake Svetloy, not far from the resort of Belokurikha, there is a state nature reserve complex "Lebediny". 

It was created in order to preserve the only wintering of whooper swans in Altai.

Did you know that there are only two sanctuaries in Russia where swans winter? 

Yes, and we are proud to note that one is located here in Altai, and the other in the Anadyrsky district of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Every year in December, a snow–white flock arrives at the swan reserve and stays for the winter on the ice-free lake, hence the second name of the lake - Swan Lake.

The first swans appeared in these places in 1967 – then there were only 15 birds, now there are about 350 swans and every year there are more and more of them. 

In March, swans fly to the polar regions for nesting, and as soon as the northern lakes are finally covered with ice, they return to the lake with young offspring. 

In order to get a better look at these birds, platforms are made and allowed to feed them with food (it is specially sold in front of the entrance).

Duration of the tour: 5 hours.

This day is very busy!
