Sheregesh

Sheregesh, located in the Mountain Shoria region, has evolved from a mining village into Russia's trendiest ski destination. Skiers and snowboarders flock here for the 'champagne powder', an exceptionally dry and light snow caused by the unique continental climate. The slopes of Mount Zelyonaya offer diverse terrain for everyone, from beginners to expert freeriders. Beyond the skiing, Sheregesh is famous for its lively après-ski culture and the annual Grelka Festival, where thousands of people ski down the mountain in swimwear. The atmosphere is youthful, energetic, and welcoming. Nearby natural attractions include the striking 'Camel' rock formations. Gastronomy features hearty Siberian dishes like pelmeni and wild game. Access is typically via Novokuznetsk airport, followed by a three-hour drive. The season is remarkably long, often stretching from November until May, with April being particularly famous for 'velvet' snow and sunny days.
