Sights of Barnaul and Altai Territory
Perhaps every Russian at least once in his life thought about going to Altai - the legendary picturesque region with healing air.
But many people never manage to see the sights of Barnaul and the Altai Territory. There are reasons for this: it is difficult to plan a route, the journey takes time and the conditions seem quite wild. But this is only at first glance. If you are not sure about the trip, you should start with Barnaul. This is the administrative center of the region and is quite easy to get to. It is often the end or starting point of future adventures in Altai. Choosing a time to visit the sights of Barnaul and the Altai Territory You should immediately decide on the month of your trip in order to plan your vacation. The optimal period is considered to be from May to September. At the same time, at the end of spring, a prolonged thunderstorm can significantly spoil your vacation. The temperature will be comfortable enough for long walks – 17°C. In the first month of summer, the rains will no longer be so heavy, the air will warm up to 20°C, and crowds of tourists will not yet have time to trample all the flowering meadows in search of the best panorama for filming. But in July and August it is worth stocking up on a larger budget. At this time, prices for vacations almost double, but the warmth will allow you to swim in local lakes and explore natural attractions. If you decide to go in the fall, you should stock up on warm clothes and avoid spending the night in a tent.

Those who prefer extreme recreation can go further and overcome the most breathtaking serpentine of the Katu-Yaryk pass. The average slope of the road is 10° - with a slope gradient of 35°. The attraction includes 9 turns, which fit into just 3.9 km of road. And for inveterate climbers, climbing Mount Belukha is suitable. Its height is 4506 meters. Only at the top will you be able to see blue lakes and unique plants listed in the Red Book. But be careful - the climb takes 2 days, and even in summer you can get snowed here.
It is quite difficult to meet a person who, after traveling to Altai, would not want to return again. The Altai region is home to cascades of rivers, historical monuments, mountain peaks and crazy passes. It is impossible to cover all the sights in a short vacation, so you can and even need to return! Here you want to wake up at dawn, wash your face with ice-cold water from the lake and go hiking. Don't ignore this desire. The region will charge you with energy, give you health and lure you with its aesthetics.
