MOUNTAINS — SKI — HELICOPTER
Baikal
is a new point on the heli-ski map of Russia, a unique opportunity to ski in a remote corner of the country and feel like a pioneer
This old massif of the planet stretches from west to east for more than 350 km forming a mountainous country in the south of Lake Baikal. Its width is 80 km, the highest point is Mount Khan-Ula — 2,371 m. A little lower peaks are the Sokhor with a height of 2,316 m and the Chersky Peak — 2,090 m. Northern slopes of the ridge are the wettest in the Baikal region being deservedly called "Siberian jungle". At the beginning of winter, when Baikal still gives off its heat, a large amount of precipitation falls here. At this time, the air temperature ranges from -5°C to -15°C providing excellent frosty virgin snow. The presence of high mountain ranges and extensive water area determines climatic features of the entire southern Baikal region including intensive year-round precipitation. In the highlands, at least 2,000 mm of precipitation may fall annually. The thickness of the snow cover on the slopes is 80 to 120 cm.
The relief of Hamar-Daban is extremely diverse. Wide cirques in the alpine zone, steep couloirs, magnificent coniferous forests, descents of 600−1,000 meters in delta.
