Altai Peaks and Passes

The Altai Republic's landscape is defined by the high-altitude ranges of the Central and South Altai. This collection includes Belukha Mountain, the highest point in Siberia at 4,506 meters, and the steep Chike-Taman Pass on the Chuysky Trakt. The list also features prominent summits of the North and South Chuya Ranges, such as Aktru and Iiktu, alongside the Malchin Peak on the Mongolian border. These sites showcase glacial formations, dramatic rock outcrops like Chertov Palec, and the rugged terrain of the Tavan Bogd massif.
