Trails of Pyatigorsk

13 more

As part of this tour, we have combined active walks and high-quality, deep rest: you will make trekking trips to the most important natural places of Pyatigorsk, visit several famous mountains and cities of the Caucasus, and also feel the healing power of thermal waters, which have been glorifying the region for several centuries. There will be no place in Pyatigorsk whose power and spirit you will not feel during your trip: Kislovodsk, Zheleznovodsk and Pyatigorsk will show you their charm and their peaks!

The final point of the tour will be the ascent of Mount Beshtau — so you will see the trails of Pyatigoria from a long distance, along which you walked only a few days before.
