The Threshold of the Sky

There is an amazingly beautiful plateau in the Digor Gorge, called Bayty Tsakht by locals, and Sunny Glade by visitors. The site is surrounded by high mountains, between which the bright light of the sun is especially clearly perceived.

The sports and recreation center is a quiet, cozy place, around which impeccable cleanliness is maintained. Family lovers will appreciate the soft twilight of the night without flashes of disco lights and the absence of loud music. Staying at the campsite will allow you to forget about the noise and bustle of big cities, help restore mental balance, improve your health, breathe dizzyingly clean air.
