And November is actually not worse - ski season starts. Here, even in the summer, there are not many people, and in this favorite time of the year, Pushkin, it is even less. But the golden time makes it possible to catch the ripening season of pine nuts and breathe plenty of clean mountain air. You won’t be able to swim there in the summer anyway, but to see the beauty of this natural attraction framed by the bright colors of autumn, I directly recommend it - an amazing sight!

In size, the reservoir is second only to Baikal, it is the main source of fresh water in Russia.

Travelers can walk in the mountains, sail on a boat on the waters of Lake Teletskoye, or take a ride on a rented horse.

It is possible to agree on individual excursion to Korbu waterfall. From here you can bring a lot of colorful pictures with views of the waterfall. Friends and relatives will be surprised by the beauty and pristineness of the place.

Just on Lake Teletskoye, you can think of a thousand activities in the autumn:

take a tour of the waterfalls;
visit showroom artist Shilkin and art gallery "Altyn Kel";
feed the animals in the zoo;
take the ski lift to Mount Kokuya.

There are many tourist bases and guest houses on the recreation coast, where you can comfortably stay. Those who prefer comfort are advised to choose the northern part of the lake. For example, it is very well suited for relaxing in autumn, built in the design in the form of a Russian tower, on the territory of which you can plunge into the font, send the children to the bright colorful playground and sit in the evening in the hall with a fireplace. And in the morning you can taste delicious pancakes there!

Rest on Aya in autumn

Aya - Altai Mountain Lake. It is from here that it is better to start acquaintance with the Altai sights. It is part of the eponymous natural park. There are many associated with this place. beautiful legends. One of them tells about the history of the lake. The reservoir was formed when the night luminary - the moon (Ai) descended to the earth in order to eliminate the power of the cannibal that devoured the locals.

There are many places in the park area where tourists with children can stay. . All conditions are created for them. In September, this area is especially suitable for relaxation. You can also swim in the legendary lake: the water in it is warm, this is its distinctive feature.

The lake is quite large and deep, its length is about 1500 meters, and the depth in some places reaches 20 meters. There is an island in the middle of Aya. Couples love to visit him. That is why it is called the gazebo of Love.

Many people are attracted by its beauty fabulous lake, and he began to need additional protection. That is why the park was created, and the lake is now protected from negligent visitors. In autumn, there are much fewer people and you will be able to stay in silence, enjoy extraordinary views that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Rest in autumn on Chemal

Chemalsky district is perfect for relaxing in the autumn.

Near Lower Katun is indoor water park "Tursib" a visit to which will be especially relevant in the autumn season, when it is already cold to swim in open water, and winter activities like skiing and tubing are not yet available. There is a water park in the village "Turbaza Katun". If you do not like too active recreation and prefer not to “walk far” to water activities, for example, in the case of a relaxing family holiday, it is recommended to choose the villages of Katun, Askat, Cheposh as places of residence.

There are many year-round well-maintained bases with all amenities in this area. And there is such a base quite nearby - this is the base "", which is located a kilometer from the water park, that is, you can walk to the coveted slides in just three minutes, well, or five, if with children.

make a therapeutic massage for yourself and your child;
and if you feel bad at heart or something worries you, you can turn to specialists and take a course of reincarnation therapy, reveal hidden complexes and problems and find peace and joy.

I am glad that at the base everything is organized for children's leisure. There is a nice playground on the territory - it is very well located, next to the gazebo, so that parents can send their children to play, and organize a small banquet themselves. With all this, living in comfortable houses is not so expensive for a base of this level, in October it is only 700-900 rubles per person per day.

All this atmosphere creates some special atmosphere in the museum, as if you are in a special place outside of time and space. By the way, for young visitors to the museum there is a small sandbox with toys under a canopy.

Finally, a little further Elekmonar is actually Chemal- a village in Gorny Altai and tourist centre this area. Every year it receives many guests not only from Russia, but also from other countries. The settlement is located in a mountain valley under the same name. The main peaks to which excursions are organized are Camel and Krestovaya.

A walk along the Shumikhinsky Bay, the Krasnoyarsk Sea in the immediate vicinity of the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station.

Shumikhinsky Bay is the closest bay to the sea, the hydroelectric power station is located very close, and then the water expanses of the Krasnoyarsk reservoir. On the shore there are recreation centers and parking for yachts. It is from Shumikhinsky Bay that everything begins boat trips, since here you can drive a car directly to the water, then there is no road for almost 150 km to the sea itself.
