About the ecotrail
The Black Pyramid is the highest point of the Krasnaya Polyana Resort, rising to 2,375 meters above sea level. It always stands out clearly in color and shape from the other peaks of Mount Aibga, as it is composed primarily of volcanic rock.
From the slopes of the Pyramid, sweeping views of mountain cirques and peaks open up. Alpine meadows and rugged cliffs coexist here.
The trail ends at the upper station of the Black Pyramid cable car. From here, you can ascend higher along a rocky route. Those who wish to conquer the heights can also continue their ascent of the Black Pyramid along a specially equipped via ferrata climbing trail, accessible to guests aged 10 and older. There's a postbox at the top of the mountain where you can send a postcard!
Highlights of the route:
- mountain cirques – amphitheater-like mountain relief
- alpine meadows
- panoramas of the Main Caucasus Range
- via ferrata rock route
When planning your route, we recommend considering your health and objectively assessing your physical capabilities.
