TOP 5 winter attractions in the Caucasus
In winter, holidays in Yessentuki will not be boring, because the most magnificent sights of the Caucasus are just a stone’s throw away. And your impressions of winter landscapes will delight you for a long time. Active hikes and excursions during the cold season not only give positive emotions, but also benefit the body.
There are five attractions in the Caucasus that look better in winter than in summer.
Dombay
The main asset of the Dombay winter resort is its nature. In winter, 1-2 meters of snow fall on Dombay Glade and the surrounding mountains. White and fluffy, it attracts not only skiers. Mountain peaks, fabulous trees and mountain rivers lying under «fur» hats are a real winter wonderland. Everyone likes it when it becomes the background for a lot of amazing photos.
Honey Waterfalls
Their charm is special during this period. The water jet does not freeze completely, but forms a mass of icicles and ice blocks that take on an unusual azure color.
Mount Mashuk
It is very beautiful on Mount Mashuk in Pyatigorsk in winter. And if possible, be sure to climb Mount Mashuk. It can also be climbed on foot. But in winter, of course, it is much more comfortable and faster to take the cable car.
Bermamyt Plateau
Its name translates as «crooked knee». The unusual terrain of the place: quaint columns, asymmetrical slopes and gorges look like movie decorations in winter.
Chegem Waterfalls
Incredibly beautiful in winter! This is a whole complex of waterfalls located in the picturesque Chegem Gorge. And it is precisely in winter that they are a fantastic sight: water, flowing from a height, freezes, and this causes icicles of various sizes to form.
