A huge country with amazing natural landscapes, where there are still ten times more horses than their owners, and the main type of housing is a traditional yurt, Mongolia is not very popular with tourists. It is generally accepted that there is nothing to do there, especially since you will not find comfortable hotels and restaurants with a menu adapted to the stomach of a European in this steppe with fire in the daytime. In fact, the resorts of Mongolia, in the usual sense of the word, if they exist, it is only in the project, and tours to this amazing country pursue goals that are somewhat different from passive rest.
What to choose for the soul?
A tour to Mongolia is bought by a seeker, creative, accustomed to discovering new territories and meeting amazing people. Even in the absence of traditional resorts, Mongolia is able to give a lot of impressions to those who ventured to put the endless spring steppe on a green cloth:
- Tours along the routes of nomads will help you get to know the country and enjoy its magnificent natural beauty.
- Fans of mountain climbing have a chance to demonstrate their skills while hiking in Altai. At its highest peaks, you can see not only the Mongolian steppe, but also flowering valleys in the Russian and Chinese territories.
- Mongolian colleagues will gladly invite fishermen and their sympathizers to lakes and rivers, where they bite in such a way that it will take your breath away.
- The excursion program for fans of history includes a visit to the ancient city of Karakorum and a visit to the Erdene-Dzu monastery, founded during the time of the Uighur Kaganate.
On the Mongolian slopes
And yet, there is one real resort in Mongolia and every year its popularity in certain circles increases many times over. Sky Resort is a modern, technically equipped ski resort, where everything is built and arranged in accordance with the highest international standards.
The season on the slopes of the Sky Resort begins in November, and until mid-April there is a stable snow cover on the slopes, the quality of which is provided, in the event of the vagaries of the weather, by the equipment of the Italian company. TechnoAlpin has been cooperating with all the organizers of the Winter Olympics in the last decades.
Prices for ski passes in the ski resort of Mongolia are more than democratic. In the 2014-2015 season, you could buy six mountain climbs here for only $ 15. The tracks of the Sky Resort leave only a good impression. There are six of them, and both a beginner and a professional athlete will find the degree of difficulty they need.
