What to do in Sheregesh in summer. Where to go in Sheregesh: entertainment and relaxation after skiing

Built during the Soviet Union, the Sheregesh ski complex has now become one of the most popular resorts in Russia. The phenomenon of the rapidly growing popularity of the ski resort seems difficult to explain.

Indeed, the following factors cannot in any way contribute to the popularization of recreation in the Tashtagol region, the place where Sheregesh is located:

distance from the center;
expensive air travel;
landscape with a slight elevation difference.

True, skiers and tourists may be attracted by some unique circumstances, such as:

no danger of avalanches, which cannot be found in large resorts;
natural snow covering the slopes already in November;
opportunity (Bigfoot);
a series of Guinness and Russian records set recently.

Correctional the colony IR-4

Perhaps extreme sports enthusiasts are also attracted by the location of a maximum security correctional colony half a kilometer from the ski slopes and a settlement area with almost a thousand places intended for men who have committed crimes. In the settlement, convicts are unguarded.

You can meet visitors to the colony in the village itself, as well as on the way to it. After all, you can reach the barbed wire in 20 minutes from the ski lift, moving along the left side in the direction of the village. According to local residents, the majority of the population is closely connected with the correctional institution: some were there as a result of a court verdict, some were awaiting the return of a relative or friend, and some.

It is noteworthy that from the windows of one hotel there is a view of the walls of the institution, and the reflection of the inscription “vacant rooms” falls on the building of the correctional institution.

Getting to both the colony and the ski areas is equally easy. Buses, taxis and minibuses run from the local one.

It should be noted that the prisoners of the colony and their relatives were to some extent lucky. After all, the opportunity to find yourself in an ecologically clean area, for which tourists and skiers have to pay significant money, is given to convicts by court decision.

Mount Green

The most popular and visited place for skiers is Green Mountain. It is a real paradise for professionals. Skiing here will be fun for beginners too. Wonderful snow, clean air, mountains will leave many pleasant impressions.

The mountain owes its name to the bright greenery that covers it in the summer. Officially, the mountain is called Karitshal, which in the Shor language sounds like the edge of a mountain range, the end of a mane. The sign on the Karitshal cafe, which is visible when traveling on a rope tow or chair lift, helps you not to forget about this name.

In addition to the 2.5 thousand-meter long track, freeride lovers can ride on virgin soil. Cozy cafes await guests and athletes.

The tracks on the eastern slope of the Green meet the requirements of the FIS world standard, thanks to which world-class competitions and stages of the national championship are held on them.

Zero probability of avalanches

The uniqueness of Sheregesh lies in its almost zero avalanche danger. This is facilitated by the Green Mountain, which resembles an ant house, having sloping slopes and long rollouts. The slopes in the lower part are densely covered with thickets of fluffy fir trees, the snow from which can only lightly shower a freerider rushing past.

Similar slopes of the Elbrus region or Krasnaya Polyana do not guarantee safety from avalanches. Resorts near Moscow can boast of zero avalanche danger. But it makes no sense to talk about riding in the Moscow region, which will bring satisfaction to riders, due to its low altitude.

But fans of downhill skiing in Sheregesh in different seasons are well aware that there are places near the slopes where an avalanche can become dangerous for a person.

This is well known to local rescuers who warn vacationers about the danger that lurks. Skiing can be especially dangerous in the spring after a sharp rise in temperature. November snow that falls on the ice crust becomes dangerous.

Worship Cross on Mount Kurgan

A visit to Sheregesh will be incomplete if the tourist has not visited the Cross of Worship, installed in 2001 on Mount Kurgan. In good weather, the cross is visible to the naked eye even when approaching the village.

The fifteen-meter cross, according to Orthodox tradition, was erected in honor of the celebration of the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ. The structure weighing almost eight tons was installed using a helicopter. Since ancient times, Christians have erected such crosses on hills and forks in roads.

You can get to the place of the installation of the Cross either on foot along the road, starting on the mountain, or using snowshoes from the Khlebnitsy station.

According to legend, there is an ancient Orthodox tradition of erecting worship crosses on hills and road intersections.

The village of Sheregesh in Mountain Shoria

The village of Sheregesh is located in Mountain Shoria. The village owes its origins to the hunter brothers Sharagashev, who in 1931 delivered stones to geologists that turned out to be iron ore.

After the construction of the mine began and the first ore was mined, the town received the status of a village.

In addition to the mine, the ski complex, which was built for training athletes and hosting the Spartakiad, has become a landmark of Gornaya Shoria since 1981.

The territory of Mountain Shoria is inhabited mainly by Shors, who preserve their traditions and language.

Mount Mustag and "Camels"

After visiting Sheregesh, it is worth visiting some places in this unique region. This is revered by the local population and is the highest in the southern part of Kuzbass.

Many legends have been created about Mount Mustang, among which one can note the legend about a beautiful Shor girl, whose attention two heroes wanted to achieve. The beauty was supposed to go to the hero who defeated his opponent in battle. The battle of the heroes continued for a long time using whistling arrows and boulders, but not one of them could win. The exhausted men fell to the ground, becoming two humps of one mountain. The girl covered them with a shroud and rose up like a cloud, shedding streams of tears. To this day, clear streams flow from the mountains, carrying the power of the heroes in different directions.

The view of the rocky formations of Mount Kurgan from Mount Karitshal is impressive. The magma that emerged from the ground, when solidified, took on the appearance of camel humps. The rock formations are called "Camels".

We recommend visiting the following places. Among the most notable attractions of Gornaya Shoria are the Mednaya rock, the Saga waterfall, and many caves in the Mras-Su river basin. You can also visit the Shors National Park and the Tashtagol Nature Reserve. The Tashtagol Museum of Nature and Ethnography is located 21 kilometers from the resort, and the Tazgol Museum of Ecology is 60 kilometers away.

Guinness Record - Descent in swimsuits from Mount Zelenaya

The ski resort is famous for its flash mobs and record-breaking events. Thus, from year to year the number of people participating in setting a record for inclusion in the Guinness Book increases. The first record was when about seven hundred people dressed in swimsuits made the descent. The record became the property of the Guinness Book, gaining popularity among the fans of the Book.

This year, 1,815 people in swimsuits took part in breaking the previous record. The event took place in April during the Grelkafest festival.

Here, a record was set for the Guinness Book by Novosibirsk pilot Alexander Orlov. The paragliding pilot took off from the slope, taking five companions. The flight became the most popular paragliding flight.

There should be a single ski pass

A serious disadvantage of the resort is the abundance of lift operators in the absence of a single ski pass. According to tourists, dividing the trails between different owners often leads to misunderstandings. Having purchased a ski pass for one slope, you will be able to ride on another slope if you only purchase another card. The problem may also arise when going to a ski lift from another company. You have to either spend money on buying another card, or walk down the mountain. Moreover, unused money is often not returned.

The cost of a ski pass for a day, depending on the sector, ranges from 800 to 1000 rubles, and a VIP will cost 4000 rubles.

A consolation for tourists of the new season may be the intention of major ski lift owners to unite and create a single ski pass. The owners of twelve of the eighteen lifts agreed to the merger. Six operators refused.

For the merger, a single cash settlement center will be created, the development of which will take a couple of years. In the meantime, you will have to use the turnstiles of the Cascade group.

Equipment rental

When visiting a ski resort, it is not at all necessary to bring skiing or snowboarding equipment with you. There are several companies operating in Sheregesh that offer equipment rental at different prices. But the largest network remains Ryder rental, which includes various points where you can get equipment for both experienced skiers, snowboarders, and beginners.

Freeriders who want to ride in any weather, even when the lifts are not working, can fulfill their desire by renting snowmobiles at the lower station, which will help them get to the slopes of Mount Mustang, “Camels”, and the Poklonny Cross.

Taiga gifts of Gornaya Shoria

The path to the parking lot from the ski lifts passes through a spontaneous market. Here, local residents offer visitors the gifts of the taiga in the form of badger and bear fat, honey, fox tails, and fir oil. Tourists are offered herbs that grow only in this area, tree bark, and fir oil. It is unlikely that you will encounter such taiga rarities in other places.

When leaving the village to the ski lifts, hotels will not be able to pass by “Kukuruza”. This supermarket, which exists only thanks to visitors, is the largest retail outlet in the village. There is a taxi rank nearby. Here you can also meet grandmothers renting out apartments to visitors.

Despite the availability of hotel rooms, it is more economical to rent an apartment from a private owner. You can get to the ski lifts by taxi. The distance is approximately five kilometers.

Long flight

You can get real pleasure from visiting Sheregesh by spending a significant amount on a flight to Novokuznetsk. The airport closest to the resort is located here, accepting flights from Moscow. Buses run from Novosibirsk to Sheregesh.

Conclusion. The fabulous sensations you get in Sheregesh are difficult to convey in words. The mountain slopes covered with the purest snow, the dense forest surrounding the tracks, the blue sky remain in the memory for a long time and make you want to come back here again and again to experience the pleasure of speed, level of comfort, and the friendliness of the local population.

As a rule, during the season people go to a ski resort to ski, otherwise what’s the point? But situations are different. Perhaps at some point you decided that alpine skiing and snowboarding are not for you. No problem! In Sheregesh you can find activities other than skiing on the mountain slopes.

Let’s be honest, we can’t say that the choice of entertainment is huge, but it’s very possible to spend three or four days here without skiing, and without getting bored.

So, what to do in Sheregesh if you are not a skier or snowboarder?

Try learning to ride

The most obvious option is to join the ranks of those who ride. The cost of renting a set of equipment is from 200 rubles per hour. There are dozens of rides on the mountain. Choose the most beautiful skis or snowboard and go to the track.

Just two pieces of advice: don’t immediately climb to the top of the mountain - you need to learn on the gentle slopes of the route, or. And the second piece of advice: spare no expense and hire an instructor, classes cost from 1000 rubles per hour. This is especially important if your level is zero or so.

If you can’t ride due to an injury (sadly, but this also happens), you can rent snowshoes from the same rentals and just walk around the surrounding taiga without the risk of falling into a two-meter snowdrift. The main thing is don't get lost!

Upside Down House

An interesting attraction that has been operating in Sheregesh for quite some time and is located not far from the Skyway.

Many have probably already encountered something similar here or at other resorts. An ordinary house, just built upside down, or what have you? Foundation?

Accordingly, all the interior items inside the house are also upside down, and you walk on the ceiling. Interesting sensations of complete disorientation in space, and the photographs from there turn out funny.

Indoor skating rink

The indoor skating rink in Sheregesh is located next to the hotel. The entrance fee is from 150 rubles per hour depending on the day of the week, plus skate rentals from 100 rubles per hour, you can also rent a hockey stick.

Snowmobile lanes

Snowmobiling in Sheregesh is, one might say, a separate and well-developed industry. The services of snowmobiles are used by both freeriders for getting to remote and untouched slopes, and ordinary vacationers for walks in the picturesque surroundings.

True, this pleasure is quite expensive. For example, a walk from the ramp in Sector A to the well-known Poklonny Cross on Mount Kurgan will cost 1,500 rubles. And if you go up Mount Zelenaya on a lift and go to the Cross from there, then 800 rubles.

Snowtubing

If skiing and ice skating are not attractive at all, then you can ride on inflatable cheesecakes, or as they are also called in the imported language - snow tubes. For riding this analogue of a sled, there is a special separate track in Sector E. Another such track is available at the camp site - 11 km from Mount Zelenaya.

In general, Teddy Bear is quite an interesting place. It has its own ski slope with a lift, a stable, a cross-country ski track, and a separate snowmobile route to Sector E.

Baths, saunas

Baths and saunas are as integral a part of a holiday in Sheregesh as snow and ski slopes. Every hotel has its own sauna, and there are also separate bath complexes.

Of particular note is the SPA complex of the Olga Hotel, which we have already mentioned in connection with the skating rink, there is a swimming pool, a Finnish sauna, and a hammam.

There are also excellent recreation areas, for example, in the hotel, or.

Cafes, night clubs

Vibrant nightlife is not exactly about Sheregesh. After the ski lifts stop, which happens at 16:30-17:00, the ski resort becomes quiet. Of course, you can sit in a cafe or hotel restaurant, but you can’t count on some kind of unbridled fun.

There is only one nightclub under the mountain - Ays Bunker. It is almost always crowded and mostly young people have fun.

Of course, Sheregesh still has room to develop in terms of organizing leisure time for those who do not ski and snowboard. And if you plan to come here, say, for a week and do not intend to ride, then it is quite possible to get bored. Well, in three or four days, which is how long tourists spend their holidays here on average, Sheregesh definitely won’t have time to get bored.

Summer is the time when you can realize your hottest dreams that you have had this long winter. Where, if not in the mountains, can you break free and spend time in such a way that the memories will warm you until next summer?

Romantic weekend

The key to success is a well-planned trip, even if it's just a few days. Planning in advance is not boring at all, but it will save you from headaches and torment like “So?... Where are we going?...”

Mark the main points, for example:a ride on a cable car with views of the Shor National Park, lunch in a panoramic restaurant at the top, a party by the pool, and finally - morning relaxation on sun loungers under the mountain sun.
