Uzunkol (long gorge, Karachay) is a mountainous region of Karachay-Cherkessia. Usually it includes a section of the Main Caucasus Range and its northern spurs, forming the basin of the Myrda, Kichkinekol, and Uzunkol rivers. In the east, the region borders the Elbrus region.

Uzunkol is an excellent mountaineering and mountain tourism area, but it is located away from major roads and populated areas.

At the beginning of the gorge there is a border post. About eight kilometers above is the Uzunkol mountain camp. The destination of our trip is the Dolomite lakes. We leave the alpine camp and move upstream of the Kichkinekol River. Turning back, we see a breathtaking landscape.

And grandiose peaks rise ahead.

Having reached the kosh, we take a sharp left and go uphill. Gradually we gain the height of the peaks surrounding us. From left to right: Filter (3690 m), Twin (3843 m), Dalar (3979 m), Trapezium (3743 m).

Our climb cannot be called easy, considering that we have a 30-kilogram backpack on our back, and the elevation difference from the foot of the gorge is 1000 m. But lakes should appear soon.

There are aurochs along the road; they are not hunted here, and they are not afraid of humans.

And finally, at an altitude of 3070 m, the long-awaited Dolomite lakes appear.

The lakes are so called because they are located at the foot of the Dolomites rock massif. These rocks are very popular among rock climbers.

Each lake has its own color - this is due to different mineral content.

Tours often come to the lakes to drink.

From the height of the lakes, the main peaks of Uzunkol are clearly visible: Twin consists of two rocky peaks, separated by a deep gap with almost vertical walls, in the middle of which rises a needle-shaped “gendarme” (“gendarme” in mountaineering terminology is a rocky ledge on the crest of a ridge). Why not Patagonia?

The summit of Dalar was conquered only on June 29, 1937 by a group of army climbers led by Tsibinogin.

The trapezoid that adorns the northern spur of Dalar is the only one of the peaks that is not located in the Main Caucasus Range.

The beauty of Uzunkol will not leave indifferent a person who has visited here at least once.

The Staro-Karachaevsky section of the Western Caucasus (Main Caucasus Range), 40 km long, began to be seriously explored by climbers and tourists only in 1936. In 1936, G. Sukhodolsky’s group climbed routes 1 B k/sl to the peaks of Talychat and Gvandra (B).

During the summer of 1937, participants in the Lokomotiv alpine camp, the Leningrad mountaineering section, Avangard, the Leningrad Mining Institute and some others climbed almost all the existing peaks in the area.

The Western Caucasus is distinguished by its picturesque valleys, the beauty of its forests and the steepness of its slopes. The rivers flowing from the slopes to the north are the sources of the Kuban. The rivers Uchkulan and Ullukam (15 km) merge to form the Kuban. Rivers descending from the Main Caucasus Range flow into Ullukam: Ulluozen (5 km), V. Kichkinekol (6 km), Chiryukol (10 km) and Uzunkol (8 km). The place where the Uzunkol flows into the Ullukam is called Kovdun. Uzunkol is formed from the confluence of two rivers: Myrda (6 km) and Kichkinekol (4 km). This place is called Uzunkol Polyana.

In terms of mountaineering, the most interesting are: the Main Caucasian Range with the peaks of Kichkinekol, Filter, Castle, Dvoinyashka, Dalar, Shokoladny Peak, Brick and Gvandra. Between the Chiryukul and Uzunkul rivers there is the Chat ridge with its highest point - the peak of Chat-Bashi, and then the Dolomites - a wonderful multi-peak rock group. The short spur between the Myrdy and Kichkinekol rivers has the peaks of Irchat, the Small and Large Trapezium and the Uzunkol peak.

To the north of the Main Caucasus Range is the Kursho group. The ridge connecting Kursho with the Main Caucasian ridge is composed of the following peaks: Mursaly, Jalpakol, Ak-bashi, Ak-tur, Pyramid, Kara-bashi and to the west - Myrda Horizon, Trident and Ai-Petri. Between the rivers S. Nahar and Gondorai there is a grandiose rock ridge - Nahar (12 km) with three peaks: South, Middle and Greater Nahar (Igumine). The Ullukam River originates on the southwestern glacier of Elbrus. It is bordered from the north by the Kebek-Dzhirin-Kurshou ridge.

Below Uzunkolskaya Polyana, since 1959, a mountaineering camp of the sports society “Spartak” of the Mountaineering Directorate of the VDSO trade unions has settled. First there was a tent city, then more substantial wooden “Finnish” houses, and a stone canteen building of national masonry.

Over five shifts (20 days each), 500-600 people visited Uzunkol on discounted vouchers. The gorges came to life. There was a queue for routes (even to distant ones) of the Black Towers. Detachments of “newbies” walked in a line - 5-6 squads of 10-15 people each. The youth received a healthy lifestyle, training, interesting educational communication and a feat of will!

The starting bivouacs for the ascents were formed: in Berezki, Verkhniy Myrdovsky, in Karman. On the “Sheep Foreheads”, Ice, on the Dalar pass, under the Shokoladny peak on the madder, “Spartakovsky” - on the bridge between Dalar and Dvoinyashka, Dolomite overnights, on the Dolomite lakes.

The sixties saw the development of the wall routes of the peaks of the Uzunkol mountaineering region: Dalara, Brick, Dolomites, Trapezium, Castle - by groups under the leadership of famous climbers - N. Semenov, Yu. Chernoslivin, G. Agranovsky, V. Kavunenko, N. Koshel. A. Kolchina. K. Rototaeva, B. Korablina, V. Stepanova.

How to get there

To the city of Nevinnomyssk or to the city of Cherkessk - for example, by rail. From there to the village of Khurzuk and further up the Kullumkol gorge to the camp along a country road.

At the border outpost at the entrance to the gorge, you must present a pass to the border zone, issued by the Circassian border detachment.

There is an option to travel through the city of Min.-Vody (airport).

It is better to settle all issues related to the road and registration of border passes in advance with the camp director.

As the famous poet said: “The only thing better than mountains are mountains that you have never been to before.” Long hiking trips and conquering peaks are a task that not everyone can do, and yet thousands of brave and patient people go to the Crimea, the Caucasus and Altai every year to see the pristine and harsh beauty.

One of the most beautiful places in our country and Karachay-Cherkessia is the mountainous region of Uzunkol. The alpine camp, which has a similar name, is located, one might say, at its foot. It is dangerous and completely frivolous to go to the mountains without professional guidance and basic training. Therefore, if you want to devote your vacation to an interesting hike and living in beautiful nature, then pay attention to this mountain camp.

Information about the location of the camp

The stage of exploration of the mountains by tourists and, in our own words, the Uzunkol alpine camp itself dates back to 1936, when the routes to the peaks of Gvandru and Talychat were first developed. From the point of view of mountaineering, the Main Caucasus Range is the most interesting.

The mountainous region of Uzunkol is located in Karachay-Cherkessia and translated from the local dialect means “long gorge.” In the east, its borders reach the Elbrus region, and in the west there is the Dautsky reserve, and behind it is Dombay. The highest point is Gwandra (height above sea level - 3984 m).

Shifts and trips

Arrival at the base takes place in three shifts, and the duration of each is 20 days. The beginning of the tourist season in 2016 opens on the first of July. It should be remembered that this program is open to persons over 16 years of age. The purchase of a mountaineering voucher worth 35 thousand rubles gives the right to accommodation on the territory of the base in six-bed rooms and includes meals in the dining room, and in camping conditions the minimum number of people in one shift is 6, and it is advisable to submit applications in advance.

In addition, the Uzunkol alpine camp organizes educational training for obtaining the “Russian Mountaineer” badge with subsequent assignment of the third sports category. Instructor services are also included in the price, but special shoes must be purchased independently. The educational process requires preliminary technical preparation: you need to have camping supplies (equipment, waterproof warm clothes, sunglasses). Do not forget that crossing the border zone is possible. For this purpose, a pass is specially issued (citizens of the Russian Federation within a month, and foreigners will have to wait twice as long).

Accommodation prices

Let us note that “Uzunkol” is a mountain camp with fairly affordable prices for accommodation and food. Accommodation of tourists is possible using three options. The most budget-friendly of them is tents on the camp grounds. A fee of 270 rubles is charged per day per person, and days of actual absence (stay in the mountains) are also paid. The price includes use of a hot shower. Tents can be personal or rented.

Accommodation in cottages will cost a little more: the price directly depends on how many people the room is designed for. So, a 6-bed room requires a fee of 500 rubles per day, and a double room - 620. The most expensive accommodation option is in guest houses. Cost - 1400 rubles per day per guest.

Alpine camp "Uzunkol": how to get there?

You can also get to the place in several ways, it all depends on what transport was initially chosen. The camp administration offers the following routes. Firstly, by rail to the cities of Cherkessk or Nevinnomyssk. Then to the village of Khurzuk, and from it - directly to the camp up the gorge, using a country road. Please be aware that at the border post you will be asked to present your pass.

Secondly, you can get there from Mineralnye Vody. You or the whole group can be picked up from the airport by a special transfer provided by the Uzunkol mountain camp.

A PAZ bus can accommodate about 20 people, a Gazelle - 8-10, a passenger car - 2-3. The transfer cost is 16,500, 11,500, 6,500 rubles respectively. Prices will be slightly lower if the departure point is Cherkessk or Nevinnomyssk.

"Uzunkol" (climbing camp), routes

This is a place where you can always choose a hiking route depending on your physical fitness, level of special knowledge and your own wishes. The administration is always ready to offer several options to choose from. Climbing routes to the peaks of the region are offered from the first to the sixth category of difficulty. For those interested, training is provided under the program of initial and sports improvement, but for ordinary tourists and vacationers - those who are interested in beautiful nature and clean mountain air, the camp offers exciting hikes.
