Along the protected trails of the Caucasus. Route No. 8. Walking tour

4 more

The route passes through the territory of the Caucasian State Reserve through the mountains and goes to the Black Sea.

The pedestrian part of the route begins at the Chernorechye cordon at an altitude of about 800 m above sea level, and we have to walk along a good dirt road to reach the Third Company cordon. Then the trail dives into a beautiful mountain forest, then goes along rocky scree, then goes out onto rocky cliffs with stunning views of the Malaya Laba River canyon, Tsakhvoa Mountain, Rocky Mountain and Needle Peak.

We have to climb the Aishkha pass (2401 m) and descend the steep path towards Krasnaya Polyana to the final point of the hike — the Pslukh cordon.

Tour highlights

Harmony with nature

Enjoy the atmosphere of the starry sky, ringing silence and bright sunrises and warm sunsets.

A break from the hustle and bustle of the city

Unlike the popular "Thirty", there are fewer tourists here, which creates an atmosphere of privacy and hiking romance.

Finish by the sea

We will finish the hike at Rosa Khutor, which allows you to combine the mountains with a vacation on the Black Sea coast.

Ascent to the Aishkha pass

From the top there is a stunning panorama of the mountains of the Main Caucasian range

Campfire gatherings

The best rest after a busy day is relaxing around a campfire with like—minded people.

The diversity of nature

We will walk through the beautiful mountain forest, then along the rocky scree and out onto the rocky cliffs with stunning views of the canyon.
