Altai in October 2025 – is it worth going? Weather and reviews, air temperature, how to dress, prices for flights and hotels, tours and excursions. What to do and what to look in Altai during October, where to go, says Eurotraveler.
Altai is a wonderful beautiful place, the true pearl of Russia. Located far from any seas, but completely not suffering from this. Unique, still close to the pristine, that is, not ruined ecology, and epic natural landscapes, many of which are remembered for life – the main magnets of the region.
Every year he attracts the attention of a Russian tourist more. Not mass yet – apparently, fortunately – prices for flights for now The majority scare away potential travelers. In any case, from the European part of Russia.
However, in the 2023 season, Altai became one of the main discoveries. After all, the borders of Russia with many countries were on the castle, and there were no less crazy traveling people.
Where did they go, if not in internal directions? Moreover, so exotic?!
2025 and subsequent years They must continue the trend In view of the world thoroughly adjusted for Russians. Again, finding equal or at least not very inferior to Altai in beauty regions is not easy!
By the way, in October to the Altai Mountains – which UNESCO calls “gold” – often the newlyweds go. Since the honeymoon spent in such an amazingly beautiful place – Very good sign.
Weather in Altai in October
Literally, all tour operators selling both trips and weekend rounds in the region claim that early autumn is considered the best time for the trip. When the summer heat was asleep, the midges were noticeably seized, and nature begins to dress in amazingly bright outfits.
But even later, for example, in early October, Altai is immensely beautiful. And what pleases, will not require a traveler The stress of all forces for survival.
However, it depends on the extremity of the route and the planned entertainment – to “wave” the same beluga is only well -trained tourists.
The territory of the described region is large – it occupies almost 200 thousand square kilometers. Therefore, we recommend that all of the following be perceived as a kind of averaged information.
In local cities, inter -city basins – warmer. In the Altai mountains, the height of which sometimes exceeds 4 km, and in October It is quite possible to frostbite. This is at least.
Therefore, most tourists arriving in the region choose a rich one -day excursion format. And after a trip along the Chuysky tract and the inspection of interesting places in Chemal (for example), they return to their cozy (and heated!) Houses and numbers at camp sites.
If in September in the region it can be quite warm (there is +22-24 degrees Celsius), then in October the weather in Altai does not make such gifts. On the contrary, she shows intensively that the edge Very harsh And in addition – is preparing for the winter.
However, in the first half of the month you may well catch the “Babier Summer.” For example, in recent years, October in Gorno-Altaysk has worn all the attributes of the “velvet season”. Since during the day the air masses warmed up up to +16 and even +20 degrees Celsius.
According to long -term statistics, such air temperatures are quite typical for South Altai until mid -October. If you do not take into account the mountainous areas, it can be much colder there.
The sun, however, is not shown as often as the townspeople and tourists would like. Regularly, you have to see low clouds, and in the morning and fogs.
At night, much colder: an average of order +4-6 ° C, although sometimes there are +8-10 degrees.
By the 20th of October, and sometimes earlier, There are grounds to expect frosts – even in the daytime. Often a certain amount of snow falls. Which, however, is melting quickly.
Precipitation
In general, local weather, if it crumbles a resort with such revelations, is quickly corrected. Apparently realizing that it is not the time – the calendar winter is far away. The end of the month usually takes place under a sign of positive temperatures at +8-10 ° C and moderate precipitation.
By the way, about rains! October in Altai can be conditionally considered a dry month – the middle the precipitation rate does not exceed 60 mm. What is approximately equal to September indicators and much fewer indicators of any of the summer months.
The number of inconspicuous days is no more than 4-5 per month, up to 15 days can be cloudy.
How to dress
Warm autumn and even winter – if you are going to the mountains – clothes are definitely useful. And even more – has great chances to be in demand.
In general, going to visit the designated region in the middle of autumn, you need to especially carefully consider the wardrobe. And collect a suitcase, based on the possibility of weather swings – you need to take a lot of clothes and other things on Altai.
After all, the temperature can fluctuate in a very wide range. And most likely you will come in handy both a light windbreaker and something much more insulated.
Demi -season boots can be supplemented with winter – if you are going to go to an introductory car tour in the region. Put in luggage and a couple of sweaters, a sweatshirt, warm socks. As well as a scarf, hat and gloves.
However, if the plans only have a visit to the resort like Belokurikha, your vacation wardrobe can be much more modest. And visiting Chemal and next to him located places allows Not particularly insulated!
