Today, the construction of the second ski complex on the banks of the reservoir is underway, it will be called the Teletskoye ski complex. The construction of ski resorts on Lake Teletskoye was initiated by commercial organizations and does not have state funding, like the GLK Manzherok. The main investor in the construction of the Artybash ski complex is tourist complex"Eden". The construction of the new Teletsky ski-board club is financed by the Yurtok tourist complex. At the moment, supports are being built for the already purchased double chair lift with a total length of the first stage of 1300 meters.

All grandiose plans for the development of the Artybash ski complex are quite feasible, investors say.

How to get to the ski complex

You can get to the Artybash ski resort on your own along the M52 highway to Gorno-Altaisk. From the capital of the republic on the road to Lake Teletskoye to Choi and Artybash. From the cities of Kuzbass, you should move along the Tashtagol-Turochak highway, then to Artybash. On the way, you can see many sights, stop at Srostki, native to Vasily Shukshin, see commemorative sign on the border of the Altai Republic, Orthodox churches Maimy and Gorno-Altaisk, Republican National Museum in Gorno-Altaisk, the Ulalinsky paleontological site, the Museum of the Altai storyteller-kaichi N.U. Ulagasheva, Holy springs, souvenir markets.

As it develops, the ski cluster of the Altai Republic is able to compete popular resort in Kuzbass Sheregesh. The abundance of tourist sites in the vicinity of ski resorts, the magic of the deepest Teletskoye lake reservoir, legends and legends of ancient Altai, archaeological rarities from different eras will allow you to touch the secrets of an amazingly beautiful and generous mountainous country.

IN this moment mastered by two companies: GLK "Artybash" and "Ski-board club". These companies, doing one thing, cooperate rather than compete.

Ski resort "Artybash" is the youngest ski resort in Altai, but a good place location, interesting slopes and transport accessibility make it quite promising.

About what work has been done in preparation for the current season and plans for the future, said the co-founder of the ski complex Alexander Yesikov.

Last season was the first for Artybash, now the second season is in full swing. What has changed during this time?

The most Top news that our neighbors have started a chair lift. The lower station is 1.5 km from us. Lift with a length of 1300 meters. Now we have two lifts on the mountain: a rope tow and a double chairlift.

From the top of the chairlift there are now two tracks: left and right. The left name is an arc, the right one is a mane.

That is, a person, having risen on a chair lift to the top point, can go down to the lower station of the chair lift, or can go to our track, which is called comfort, and go down to the start of the drag lift, where there is also a rental office, a cafe and other infrastructure: snow tubing, skating rink, dog sledding, snowmobiling. In general, the whole party takes place in the area of ​​​​our cafe.

The message below takes place along the road - both the chair lift and our yoke can be reached by car. The road is regularly cleaned, there is parking for about 100 cars.

Does the installation of a chair lift imply that the ski resort will be successful and develop?

The main reason is that the armchair was conceived there, because it will work all year round. You can’t climb on the yoke in summer, and from the top of the mountain there is a very good panorama, including a view of Lake Teletskoye.

There are a lot of people in the summer, so we plan to work year-round. Accordingly, in the summer the cafe will also work, perhaps we will organize something like a campsite so that we can put up tents, barbecue grills, and so on. The kiosk for selling souvenirs is already open, probably, and will remain for the summer.

Has the ski complex become more popular compared to last season?

It definitely is! We keep attendance statistics. This season, with the launch of the chair lift, the number of visits has almost doubled.

For just one new year holidays 1200 people rode the chair.

New slopes and a new lift attract vacationers. There is a good elevation and slope. If we have about 10-15, 20 degrees maximum, on our track. Here the slope is up to 35 degrees. That is, for professionals, the tracks are already very interesting.

Is it possible now to talk about some prospects for ski slopes, what are the plans for the development of infrastructure?

We are considering options for installing a gondola lift. There is a section where you can put a gondola lift and stretch it to the very top of Mount Kokuya up to a mark of 1385 m. Now you can get there only by snowmobile.

Yes, the gondola lift is an expensive pleasure. We cannot pull it off on our own, we are working to attract investors.

As for the tracks, with the existing two lifts, new tracks are unlikely to appear. Of course, the guys are engaged in freeride, we cannot forbid it, but there are no serviced tracks yet.

But if we put the gondola road to the very top of the mountain, the prospects open up very interesting. There you can immediately make a very long track for six kilometers.

But to be objective, these are plans for the next three to five years.

Last season, when launching the Artybash GLK, you said that Kokuya could compete with Zelena, and in terms of ski holidays Teletskoye Lake can compete with Sheregesh. Do you still think so?

I think that full-fledged competition still does not work. Sheregesh is now very promoted, we can say that this resort is already international level. We are just getting close to calling ourselves a resort.

But we can become a very serious addition to Sheregesh. We are quite capable of taking on 10-15 percent of the Sheregesh tourist flow. Our prices are more democratic and there are fewer queues. And in terms of the beauty of the surrounding landscape, we are in no way inferior, and maybe even superior.

Our infrastructure is still weak, but this is due to lack of funding. We need to set up hotels, there is a place for this, there is a place for good restaurant. When all this is done, it will be possible to talk about the resort, but for now, we have rather just a mountain with ski lifts and slopes.

Yes, we have a rental, we have a skating rink, we have instructors, but this is not enough. We understand this and we will work.

Teletskoye lake - the pearl of Altai, protected area, an object world heritage UNESCO. Lots of people used to come here during the summer. wildlife. But not everyone knows that Teletskoye has a full-fledged ski resort.

It is located almost 5 kilometers from the village of Iogach. From there, across the bridge across the Biya, and then you need to go straight along the river (the road, by the way, is good there and always cleared of snow). Before turning to ski resort there will be a pointer.

Teletsky GLC is located on Mount Kokuya. It includes four tracks. Two of them are equipped with a new chair lift. Their length is 1600 meters, the height difference is up to 400 meters, and the width is 40-60 meters.

The third route is called "Comfort". Its length is 1000 meters, the height difference is up to 200 meters. A ski lift is installed here. There is also a trampoline on the track.
The last track is the longest - 2000 meters.

On the Teletskaya ski slope there is an equipment rental and a cafe. From exotic entertainment - dog sledding. This service costs 500 rubles per person.

Altai attracts more than a million tourists a year enchanting beauty, magnificence of mountains and developed infrastructure, but the vast majority of guests come only in the summer.

As you know, in winter, on existing ski slopes, Altai guarantees only piste skiing for a short season of 2.5-3.5 months, and lovers of off-piste freeride and powder have to wait for especially snowy days (which happens quite rarely). The situation is changed by the appearance of new ski resorts in the most snowy corner of the Republic - the Turochak region. And what is not unimportant - on the shore of Lake Teletskoye, where a network of hotels of various levels is well developed.

Talks about the construction of new GLK began back in 2006, and now, 10 years later, we have actively developing ski resorts"Artybash" with a drag lift and "Teletskoye" with a chair lift.
