Dombai is attractive because it is interesting for both beginners and professionals to ride here. For those who started skiing for the first time, welcome to the "frogs" — small, light and gentle slides for beginners.

Most of the trails are designed for comfortable skiing: moderate slope, smooth terrain and a very wide snow plateau. For lovers of extreme skiing, welcome to the southern slopes of Moussa Achitara Mountain and the steep slopes in the lower, wooded part of the mountain.

    The trip to Baikal was a success! The organization of the tour was impeccable. Thanks to the manager in the Big Country Yulia Trubinova. All the planned trips were at a good level, the accommodation also corresponded to the promised, i.e. with all amenities. Many thanks to our instructor of the Voskhod tour club - Alexey Dusenko and all the participants of the tour. Thanks to them, the tour turned out to be very interesting, rich and diverse for me. Of course, Baikal must be seen firsthand, photos and videos will only remind you of these days, and will not convey all the beauty! It is also remarkable that we were very lucky with the weather. The sun was shining, the ice shone like crystal. I am very glad that I was lucky enough to see all this and meet such wonderful people!
