Tour to the Chersky Peak
Chersky Peak opens its doors to tourists in the height of summer. Climbing the mountain begins in June and continues until the end of August; during other periods, the summit is quite cool.
The Chersky Peak tour can be completed in one day, but we recommend a two-day tour. This will allow you enough time to spend the night at the meteorological station, hike to the Podkomarnaya River, see the Devil’s Gate, and swim in the route’s main attraction — a heart-shaped lake!
The climb does not require a high level of physical fitness, but you should bring something to eat, comfortable shoes, and a willingness to admire the beauty of Siberian nature!
