How to celebrate New Year 2017 in Altai

You can plan a trip to Altai yourself or buy a tour, entrusting all the worries to the professional organizers of such trips.

When planning an independent trip, it is best to stay at one of the local sanatoriums or recreation centers, of which there are many. Thus, you can solve “in one fell swoop” the issues of accommodation, food and even the cultural program.

When checking into the tourist complex, tourists will find: cozy, comfortable rooms, delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners, the opportunity to enjoy skiing and snowboarding, and an entertaining New Year's program.

The latter includes not only a festive meal, a disco and fireworks, but also a visit to Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, so children will also enjoy it here. For a fee, sanatoriums and recreation centers often offer the organization of excursions and hikes.

You can also celebrate the New Year in Barnaul. Celebration options here are quite familiar - folk festivals on the main square of the city, trips to restaurants and clubs, renting country cottages.

Tours to Altai attract tourists with the opportunity to forget about all their worries and a wide range of price offers, allowing everyone to choose the appropriate option. So, a “standard” trip will cost from 1800 rubles per person, but more expensive ones marked “all inclusive” - from 9000. In any case, the trip includes: hotel accommodation, excursions of various directions, ski trips and other winter activities.

As part of the tour, you will explore ancient caves, see beautiful reservoirs, visit the main attractions of Altai and, of course, enjoy incredible nature.

It is worth noting that when planning to celebrate New Year 2017 in Altai, you can combine business with pleasure and go to one of the health centers. Here, in addition to the usual entertainment, tourists can expect medical and cosmetic procedures.

What to see

Altai boasts a large number of attractions and interesting places that are worth visiting. Among the most beautiful and popular of them are: Akkem Lakes, Mount Sinyukha, Denisova Cave, Uchar, Tekelyu, Korbu, Kamyshlinsky waterfalls. One of the most interesting places is considered to be the Altai Stonehenge - huge boulders painted with petroglyphs of the Pazyryk culture, which form a strict circle.

It’s also worth a trip to Lake Teletskoye, which is one of the deepest and cleanest in the world. It features crystal clear water and is surrounded by ancient forests. Here you can stay at one of the tourist centers, book a walking tour or go fishing.

Even if you do not manage to visit any of the above places, you will not be disappointed, because the main attraction of Altai is its nature, and it amazes you in every corner of the region.

Weather in winter

Winter in Altai is truly frosty and snowy; it usually lasts 4-5 months. It is especially cold in the intermountain plains, where cold air masses stagnate. The air temperature depends on the specific region of the region. Thus, the harshest winter is usually in the Chui steppe, where the thermometer shows up to -32 degrees, and in the south of Altai in the vicinity of Lake Teletskoye, on the contrary, the weather is quite mild - up to -8 degrees.

In winter, Altai is characterized by climatic “oases” - due to pressure differences in the mountainous areas of the region, warm and dry winds arise in the valleys, which prevent the formation of a stable snow cover and “drive away” frosts.

What you need to know when traveling to Altai

Altai loves tourists and welcomes them with cordiality, so every traveler will feel comfortable here. To ensure a great trip, the main thing is to take care of booking a hotel room or purchasing a New Year's tour in advance. Altai is becoming increasingly popular among Russians, so as the winter holidays approach, there may not be room in sanatoriums and recreation centers.

Before the trip, it is also necessary to study the weather conditions in the region in which the festival is planned. It is worth remembering that winter in Altai can be capricious and harsh, so you need to put warm clothes in your suitcase first.
