About the ecotrail

The eco-trail is located on the northern slope of the Aibga mountain range in Cirque-3. It begins at an altitude of 2,300 m near the Black Pyramid peak and runs east to the pass.
The eco-trail is suitable for adults and children over 16. Children aged 7 to 16 may only use the trail if accompanied by an adult over 18. Since the eco-trail is located in an area with extremely variable weather, it is advisable to bring a raincoat, warm clothing, and sports shoes.

What you will see:

  • The resort's highest point, the Black Pyramid peak at 2,375 m;
  • A breathtaking panorama of the Aibga ridge and the Caucasus Mountains: Fisht, Pshekha-Su, Oshten, Chugush, Assara, and Pseashkhi;
  • the highest point in the Krasnodar Territory, Mount Agepsta (3,256 m), the Gagra Range, the Psou River Valley, and the mountains of Abkhazia;
  • alpine meadows and endemic species of the Western Caucasus.
