Arhyz region was one of the most popular places on the Caucasus in the Soviet time. The Arhyz village 1450m is on a confluence of 4 valleys with uncounted summits and passes. The mountains, a good stable weather (at the region there is the biggest Russian mirrow teleskope, because of most number of clear ski days!), long summer period and a certain snow condition from November till May give good opportunity for trekking, climbing and ski-touring.
Arhyz was an important part of the Great Silk Road. Close to the village there is an ancient town with oldest (IX sc) Christian cherch in Russia. During the trek it is possible to see some other remains of the Silk Road.
