There are many cities in Russia with picturesque nature and excellent conditions for skiing (mild climate, comfortable descents, high-quality snow). Today, ski centers are scattered throughout our vast country. But the Ural has been most popular recently; many call it the “Ural Switzerland”. The beauty of the mountain hills, many amazing lakes and streams make this place amazing.
If earlier the rest in the Urals for most citizens was associated with extreme sports, today the picturesque mountains are something grandiose, created for a versatile pastime. Some people come here for regularity, relaxation and privacy. Russian tourists increasingly prefer to spend their holidays in the Urals, and not in the notorious Courchevel or the Canaries.
Every year, foreign tourists flock here - fans of active winter sports and lovers of passive relaxation. The land strikes with its virgin natural wealth and scope. No wonder it is called the blue necklace of our country. On the endless lands of the snowy Urals there is a beautiful place - Mount Belaya. Today it is not just an amazing natural site, but also a popular ski resort with a rich infrastructure. The founder of this project is the governor of the Sverdlovsk region - Eduard Rossel.
Interesting Facts
Mount Belaya is located near the small village of Uralets - it is 37 km southwest of Nizhny Tagil. According to official data, the peak is considered one of the highest in the Urals.
