Altai in June 2025 – is it worth going on vacation? Weather and reviews, air temperature in Belokurikh and Chemal, can you swim, how to dress? Prices for flights, hotels and excursions, what to take with you from clothes? And also – what to look at Altai in early June and closer to July than to do – EUROTRAVELER found out.
Altai is distant and therefore to a certain extent the exotic land. In any case, a traveler from the central strip of Russia imagines him. Already getting rid of the youth-in-armed perception of being and related to everything with a certain share of skeptical alertness.
Therefore – it is literally unable to understand what on is the vacation in Russia, albeit 4 thousand kilometers from Moscow, at the cost comparable with a trip to the tropical regions
However, if you have never been to the Altai mountains, it is worth doing at least once in a life. After all, the local nature is picturesquely beautiful and retained pristine power. And the air – really dumms with aromas, almost unfamiliar city resident.
The general sensation after 7-10 days of stay and participation in some juicy excursion round in the region- As if he was born again! Well, or at least opened the notorious second wind in his own bowels.
Yes, and there will be more than enough impressions. After all, interesting places in Altai are more than enough! And there are still few tourists.
Again, June is a month in Altai – one of three for the year! Moreover, the other two: May and September in terms of temperatures are inferior to him.
And considered the most interesting from the point of view of the trip of July and August, alas, today they do not have a visit – there are too many tourists around. And prices, already not particularly modest, grow to indecent.
Generally accepted
That June in Mountain Altai marks the beginning of the season. But not the same-super-high-when I want to swear, finding a long line in some kind of deaf corner or letting a vow to go to the taiga forever. And the other is gentle and dear.
Hugging you joyfully and powerfully greening mountain forests. Foaming is still full -flowing since spring and therefore stormy river flows.
Blue dome built over your head is incomparable of bright tones. And allowing you to see without effort in the deep, but so clear, the exciting contours of the real – tall – mountains.
Even if you are not going to go far in the literal and figurative sense, there will be enough vivid impressions to decorate the entire future working season.
Someone will decide to minimize the surprises, and will go broke on a weekend round-thus, falling in love with Altai, you can especially quickly and irrevocably. But others will undoubtedly want to do everything on their own. And they will be right in something-in (successful) overcoming difficulties there is its own charm.
In general – if without the outskirts – Altai in early June gives the opportunity to make out nature, to the leaflet and the stalk. And even a little dissolve in it – to mutual pleasure and in relative solitude!
Weather in Altai in June
It seems to be good and even joyful-with regular air temperatures up to +24-28 ° C and an abundance of sunlight. Alas, stability is not her horse.
Moreover, if in the north of the region, in the region, the weather is not so categorical, then in the south, in the republic, the temperatures jump according to the relief respectively. And therefore, going to take a walk around the crossed area, and even independently, it is better to equip with a “margin” – what to take on a hike in the forest.
In the same Belokurikh, June, for example, is quite smooth, although not hot, of course: usually from +18-24 ° C. Dips happen, as elsewhere-and +12 degrees of the number of the 20th one should not be surprised. Although in general, everything is worthy, and even at night the thermometer seeks to “hold the brand”, extremely rarely lowering below +10 ° C.
But to the south, in Chemal in June, the weather is a little more unstable. It either drives air temperatures above +26 ° C, demonstrating the indestructible faith in the arrival of this summer. Then suddenly-although not for long-falls in spirit, dropping into the area +10-12 ° C.
At night, it is completely frankly cold, and +12 ° C is still a good, kind indicator. In another year, for example, after sunset in June, not summer temperatures can be recorded at all-up to +3-5 ° C.
And what do you want – he and Mountain Altai!
In some years, Chemal weather at the start of summer, however, behaves blessed and commendable. Draws (in the afternoon) not a strong line at the level of +20-22 ° C and generally tries to be like a blond. Correct and all such measured.

Precipitation
Let’s not forget that June in Altai, although it differs mainly by a sunny temper, may well throw a portion of heavenly moisture by the scruff of the scruff. For he will wait here sometimes from the heart – that is, strongly.
At the latitude of blond and Gorno-Altaysk, up to 10 days can turn out to be inconspicuous, and the rainfall sometimes reaches 100 mm per month.
To the south in general, the drugs are up to 70-80 mm. And rainy in June usually turn out to be no more than 6-7 days. By the way, this is if not 2, then one and a half times higher than the usual standards of June St. Petersburg. Cities, actually famous for its cloudy and inconsolable climate.
Water temperature
In truth, even in the summer they go not to swim in Altai. Since most local reservoirs – the same Katun River and Lake Teletskoye – are of glacial origin. And even at the peak of the season, water does not warm up above +15-16 ° C.
For walrot, maybe the most “it”. But most visit the region to get pleasant impressions and heal, and not get sick.
Lake Aya, which is 45 km from Gorno-Altaysk, in June warms up to a maximum of +18-19 ° C. And there, theoretically, you can swim if you are not thrown by crowds of people who also want to plunge on a hot day. There is a serious minus: with a pond there are only two beaches and both are paid!
The artificial lake, which is part of the special ecological zone “turquoise katun”, is a little away. As you probably already guessed, you will also have to pay for the right to swim. And a lot-about the same money you will pay for the rental of a miner somewhere in Turkey.
Decent amounts are also located in the hotel there. Often, however, excellent …
The water temperature in this man -made pond is higher. And subject to warm weather, it can reach +24-25 degrees Celsius.
Ticks in Altai
June, like May, is most dangerous in this regard. For ticks in this period awaken from anabiosis, especially hungry and therefore active.
But, as reasonably approved on specialized tourist sites, in order to pick up the tick, you need to try.
After all, as you know, these parasites love to hide in the high grass. And it is from there that they crawl to trousers, and therefore the bare parts of the body of tourists.
Well, dress right – still Mountain Altai is not a beach in Sochi… Process your clothes with a repellent from ticks? This is for an amateur – nevertheless, such sprays are a rare muck.
How to dress
From the foregoing, a simple and clear thought stems – beachwear in the summer Altai is primarily inappropriate. In numerous reviews, they justifiedly write that dense trousers and the same windbreaks are much more useful – preferably with a hood.
Stens with many pockets are practical and very convenient. Surely they will be in demand both sweaters or sweatshirts.
Sneakers or moccasins will come down as shoes – if you are not going to get out of the bunker. And unequivocally, comfortable boots plus, possibly rubber boots, will be needed – if you are going on a hike.
Swimsuits and swimming trunks? Where without them! For even if you do not start swimming, you will want to sunbathe on a hot day for sure. Again, and in the Pantovo bath, you are unlikely to become naked?!
Prices 2025
Unfortunately, Altai has always been and now remain an expensive direction – primarily for the inhabitants of the European part of Russia. However, sometimes the point is not only in the cost of air tickets, traditionally roads and tours to the region with guides.
The cost of a standard 5-day tour, during which, if you don’t have it, they will provide accommodation (in 2-3 local numbers at camps), meals (breakfasts and dinners) and an excursion and entertainment program, starts from 52-55 thousand rubles per person.
Flights and insurance – at your expense, the organizers will take on everything else. Who will meet you at the airport of Barnaul or Gorno-Altaysk, and at the end-they will take it there.
Are you used to doing everything yourself? Including organizing such not too simple trips? Prepare the following money:
The flight from Moscow to Gorno-Altaysk and back with a little luggage will cost ~ 35-40 thousand rubles per person. This is in the case of a direct flight, the duration of which usually does not exceed 4.5 hours.
The placement in a modest hotel of the Economy level in Belokurikh will cost 4-6 thousand rubles per day for two. Surprisingly, because it will turn out to rent an apartment in the village for about the same amount.
Want to settle in the sanatorium, relax in spa and other pleasant procedures? We prepare from 10-15 thousand rubles per day.
Excursions – at different costs. Visors on the resort, along the Belokurikha-2 highway, on Mount of the Church will cost modest money, about 3 kilo-rubles per person. A walk along the Chuysky tract, a visit to Chemal, to the island of Patmos will require much more significant costs-from 5-6 thousand rubles per adult person.

What to do
The adrenaline lack of a lack of adrenaline should definitely be raised on a boat or raft along the river: Katuni or, for example, Biya. This will take time (from 4 days). And money, of course – on average from 25 thousand rubles per person.
The combination of rafting with the hiking of the region, as well as horseback riding, is more expensive – from 50 thousand per person. But this is understandable – the impressions will be different, and emotions – go off the way!
The configured positively, but calmly, will surely like fishing in Altai. In the case, of course, if you are not at all indifferent to such a pastime. You can do this yourself – if you have gear, a prepared machine and knowledge about what and where is found.
Those who want to improve their health will not fail to soak in Maral baths. Indeed, it is at the end of spring-early summer that the region begins to produce an extract from Pant-young horns of deer-marans.
The effect of one -time bathing, however, is minimal. Therefore, you need to initially tune in a course of 8-10 procedures
Well, obviously, it will be useful to get acquainted with the region on one or two excursions. A visit to the island of Patmos near Chemal and seeing the Katun River is considered to be mandatory – at least in the lower, not mountain, course. Fans of not too complicated ascents recommend Mount Sinyukh near the village of Sharikok.
Known, although not so easily accessible Kamyshlinsky waterfall. Visiting Tavdinsky caves promises excellent impressions.
It is definitely worth it to ride along the Chui tract, one of the most beautiful roads on the ground. An independent trip will require the availability of a machine and considerable experience. And with a guide – only desires and (impressive amount) money.
Automobile motorists will probably not fail to get to the distant Kat-Yaryk pass-this is about 470 km from Gorno-Altaysk. Overcoming which leads to a small southwear of Lake Teletsky. However, such an escapad will require a minimum of a crossover, and the maximum is a natural jeep.
