This route takes you through the calling card of the Chechen Republic, the Argun Gorge, with its amazing nature and man-made monuments. Susanin advises: • Be sure to bring your passport. A border zone begins beyond the village of Itum-Kali. • Check the weather forecast. It can be very windy in the mountains even on a sunny day. • Bring any medicines you may need. If you have high blood pressure, note that you should only come down from the mountains once your blood pressure is back to normal. • Bring an empty bottle. There are many springs with clean, delicious water along the way.

Things to do

  • 🏞️ Enjoy the view

A Difficult Build

The resort opened in 2018 on the northern slopes of the Daneduk range. Plans to develop it were disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. Before that, the resort managed to build one intermediate run 967 meters (3,173 feet) long with a vertical drop of 196 meters (643 feet), as well as an aerial cable car, a training slope with a surface lift, and a children's park with a conveyor lift.
