The beauty of pearl lakes, green hills, picturesque rivers with waterfalls, caves and gorges, lost in the rocks, intoxicates with its beauty. Anyone who once visited the "Siberian Alps" will never forget them. Then this place beckons and calls to itself, beautiful memories haunt us, and again we begin to choose one of the comfortable hotels in the Altai Mountains.
Determine the area

In order to see the picturesque Kamyshlinsky waterfall, tourists rush to the Shebalinsky district. On its territory there is a natural monument "Clean meadow", as well as the only bison nursery outside the Urals.
The Chemal district is a little further, it stretches along the left bank of the Katun for 3000 km. People come here to see the beautiful hydroelectric power station, located among the cedar forests growing among the rocks and mountain rivers. A large number of hotels in the Altai Mountains is located near the village of Katun.
Many tourists come here "savages" in their own cars, stop in the summer in a bungalow that can be rented from private owners. Practice shows that such a vacation is even more expensive due to unbalanced food in different roadside cafes and restaurants. In addition, it is not quite comfortable, especially when traveling with a small child.

Setting priorities
This is the main criterion for choosing a hotel. First of all, you need to decide what you need most. A lot of b / o is located on the right and left banks of the Katun, away from the hustle and bustle of major highways, in an ecologically clean place. If you plan hiking or more extreme hiking, it is worth staying in remote alpine regions.
Beach holidays are good near the lakes Aya, Teletskoye. It is impossible to swim in Katun: the river is mountainous and very cold, the temperature does not rise above 12-14 ° C even in the hottest months. But grayling, taimen, Siberian char, burbot, etc. are well caught in the river. Try to ensure that within walking distance there is what you want from the rest.
The choice of accommodation is a very responsible task, because the quality of rest depends on proper sleep and nutrition. Hotels on the banks of the turquoise Katun or Lake Teletskoye, the village of Manzherok, Chemal and in many other picturesque places of the Altai Mountains will give you an unforgettable vacation that will be remembered for a lifetime.
