What is the best way to get to Mount Ai Petri. How to get to Ai-Petri from Yalta - description, features and recommendations. How to get to the Miskhor – Ai-Petri cable car

Resting in the village of Gaspra, near Yalta and going down to the sea every day, we admired the jagged peak of Ai-Petri. On one of the days of our vacation, we independently visited one of the most picturesque mountains south coast Crimea. In ancient times, a church was built at the top of Ai-Petri in honor of St. Peter, after whom the peak was named.

Many legends are associated with the name of Mount Ai-Petri. They say that once upon a time at the foot of Ai-Petri there lived a young man and a girl who fell in love with each other. But their families were against this feeling and forbade them to meet. Then the lovers decided to jump off the mountain and stay together forever. They climbed to the top, but the gorge there was so narrow that it was impossible for both of them to jump. Then the young man decided to step into the abyss first. He said goodbye to his beloved and jumped from the cliff into the raging sea. The girl, seeing the terrible sight, exclaimed “Ay, Peter,” because that was the name of her lover. Since then, the mountain received this name. And the girl, after crying all night, changed her mind about jumping down and returned to her family. They say that it was after this story that men began to let women go ahead.

The picturesqueness of the slopes of Ai-Petri was appreciated by both representatives of the royal family and the Yusupov family. The latter had estates on both sides of Ai-Petri. One is in Koreiz, and the other is in the current village of Sokolinoe.

Many of my friends who had previously visited Crimea spoke enthusiastically about the trip to Ai-Petri. Of course, living nearby, we couldn’t refuse an exciting journey and climb to the top of these majestic mountains.

In 1987, the Miskhor-Ai-Petri cable car was built, which allows you to quickly climb to the top. Its length is about three kilometers, and this distance is covered in 20 minutes. The cable car is divided into two sections: lower and upper. Top part on this moment is the longest unsupported cable car in Europe.

Cable car Miskhor-Ai-Petri

We got to the cable car station from the village of Gaspra in 15 minutes by minibus. As soon as we got off the bus, we were immediately surrounded by a bunch of men who offered us to climb to the top of Ai-Petri by car. We listened to their proposals and took a short time out to think.

The cost of travel by cable car is 220 rubles one way, and the same price for a ride on a minibus. And since going back and forth along the same road is not particularly interesting, we chose the following option: we decided to go up the mountain as part of a small group in an air-conditioned minibus along the Yalta-Bakhchisarai highway, and go back down by cable car.

Another argument in favor was that the driver promised to make short stops near the Uchan-Su waterfall, near the silver gazebo and at the observation deck almost near the top of Ai-Petri.

After waiting a little for the group to gather, we set off along the slope of Mount Pendikul. The driver, who is also a guide, told us interestingly about the area we were passing through and the amazing plants we encountered along the way.

Trees on Ai-Petri

At first the forest was dense, with lush vegetation, but as the altitude gained, the trees thinned out and the area became more deserted.

Quite quickly we reached the Uchan-Su waterfall. IN summer time it flows in a barely visible trickle, and is at its fullest in spring and autumn. Therefore, this waterfall did not particularly impress us, although the area in which it is located is very beautiful. Tall trees grow on the slopes, including mast pines, which were once used to build the Russian fleet.

Uchu San Waterfall

We made our next stop at an altitude of 865 meters above sea level at the Silver Arbor. It was erected in late XIX century in honor of the builders of the Yalta-Bakhchisarai road. The work was carried out for decades by soldiers of the Russian army in difficult conditions. In winter, when the gazebo is covered with frost, from the side of Yalta, shimmering in the sun, it seems to be made of silver.

Silver gazebo

The observation deck near this rotunda gazebo offers stunning views of Yalta. Here you can buy souvenirs and take pictures with birds for 100 rubles. But I usually feel very sorry for tied animals.

Further along mountain serpentine We went up to the observation deck, located very close to the final stop. On this slope in 1959 a monument was erected to Soviet partisans who died in battles with the Nazis in December 1941. The terrain here is quite flat, with small bushes and trees.

After driving another 10 minutes, we reached the top station cable car. At this point we said goodbye to the group and our driver. I was already looking forward to wandering through the beautiful expanses of the plateau on top of Ai-Petri. But it was not there. The splendor of nature and the stunning atmosphere of this place are spoiled by the Crimean Tatars who occupied this mountain area.
Immediately I felt as if I was in an oriental bazaar in Egypt or Turkey. You couldn’t take a single step without the Tatars working here running up to you and inviting you to their restaurant or to go horseback riding. All this was done with their characteristic obsession. As soon as one was refused, another immediately came up. To be honest, I don’t understand why it was necessary to create several dozen identical restaurants here with the same food, and then fight for customers.

Plateau on Ai-Petri

We decided to explore the surroundings. The caves that are on this mountain were closed, because, according to the locals, they had not yet figured out whether to charge entry to them or not. Therefore, we decided to head to the Ai-Petri battlements. They say that previously there was a fee to go up there. I don’t understand why they charge money there: climbing to the battlements is quite difficult along a steep rocky slope.

First, the climb goes among strange trees, and then over rocks under the scorching sun.

But final destination stunning with its views. From here you can see the entire southern coast of Crimea, because the height of the peak of Ai Petri is 1234 meters.

At Ai-Petri peak

The cable car cabins seem very small from the cogs; it’s hard to believe that they can accommodate up to 35 people.

Stunning views are mesmerizing, then you understand that it was not in vain that the hard journey was made. If possible, I think, every tourist
If you want to see the picturesque coast of Crimea from a bird's eye view, you should definitely go up to the Ai-Petri battlements.

View of Yalta from Zubtsy

After standing at the top for a while, we began to descend. Then we immediately headed to the cable car station. Right now we had to descend to the foot of the mountain along the cableway. Booths depart once every half hour. When the cable car cabin was almost full, we began to descend.

Being inside, it seems that we are moving very slowly, and the booths we meet are simply rushing by. At the middle station you need to change trains and go down further. Thus, the descent took about 20 minutes, while we climbed by car for more than an hour.

We returned to Gaspra by minibus, tired and full of impressions. We did not regret at all that we went up by car. This allowed us to see the wonderful vegetation of the Crimean slopes from the inside and admire the views of the southern coast of Crimea from different observation platforms. And the picturesqueness and wonderful prospects of the Ai-Petri peak will remain a vivid memory in the memory for a long time.

Mount Ai-Petri is one of the most popular places Crimea and one of its business cards. As well as the famous cable car "Miskhor - Ai-Petri", which makes visiting the mountain easily accessible. The name of the mountain has Greek roots and means “Saint Peter”. The height of Mount Ai-Petri at 1234 m will give you the opportunity to enjoy excellent panoramas and feel the difference between the subtropical and mountain climate.

How to get to Ai-Petri

Mount Ai-Petri is one of the peaks of the Ai-Petri Yayla, located above the city of Alupka and the urban-type settlement of Koreiz (Miskhor is not a separate settlement, but is included in Koreiz).

Cable car to Ai-Petri

The official name of the cable car to Ai-Petri is “Miskhor - Ai-Petri”. The cable car can be considered a separate attraction. Opening hours are from 9:00 to 17:00 for ascent and until 18:00 for descent. No breaks or days off. Only in the spring it closes for maintenance work. Current prices and the news can be viewed on the official website of the Miskhor - Ai-Petri cable car.
The cable car consists of three stations: "Miskhor" (located at an altitude of 86 m above sea level) - the lower station, "Sosnovy Bor" (304 m) - the middle transfer station and the upper station "Ai-Petri" (1152 m).
The cable car journey begins from the lower Miskhor station.

The name comes from the village of Miskhor of the same name, which is now not independent and is included in the urban-type settlement Koreiz. Now Koreiz, Gaspra, Alupka, Semeiz are located so close to each other that it is difficult to visually distinguish one from the other. And all of them, by the way, are part of the Yalta urban district. Therefore, when we left Alupka, it was not clear whether we had left it and entered Koreiz; there was a feeling of a single settlement. It's time to answer the question:

How to get to the Miskhor – Ai-Petri cable car

By car. From the Yuzhnoberezhnoe Highway, you need to near the concrete sign “72. Sevastopol. Yalta.” and the gas station turn towards Koreiz (Miskhor) onto the branch of the road to the Sevastopol highway. Further along the ring we go out onto the Koreizskoe highway, and from there onto the Alupkinskoe highway. After driving a little, you will see the stand “Miskhor – Ai-Petri Ropeway”. Paid parking there is right next to the lower Miskhor station. It might be possible to park the car on the side of the road, but the road there is very narrow and we were afraid.
By public transport. Bus stop The “cable car” is located directly at the lower station “Miskhor” and territorially belongs to Koreiz. Bus routes No. 102 stop there (Yalta Bus Station - Vorontsovsky Park Alupki) and No. 132 ( Clothing market Yalta – Vorontsov Palace Alupki). Movement intervals: 15-30 min.

The length of the cable car is 2980 m. The distance between the lower station “Miskhor” and the middle village “Sosnovy Bor” is 1310 m. But the distance between the middle station and the upper “Ai-Petri” is already 1670 m, and there is not a single support tower. There is often information that this is the longest unsupported span in Europe, listed in the Guinness Book of Records. There is also information (Wikipedia) that there is a Reiteralpe cable car that is ahead of the Miskhor - Ai-Petri cable car in this indicator. It was not possible to verify the information for certain regarding the Guinness Book of Records, but there really is a Reiteralpe cable car and it is located in Germany in locality Oberjettenberg. The length of the Reiteralpe cable car is 2100 m, and the length of its unsupported span is 1980 m, and it was put into operation in 1965.

While the construction of the Miskhor - Ai-Petri cable car had just begun in 1967, the first passengers were the reception committee in 1987, and it was put into operation only in 1988. It turns out that at the time the cable car was built in Crimea, Reiteralpe already existed in Germany. Another thing is that the Reiteralpe cable car is used by the technical center of the Bundeswehr, it is a military-technical facility, so I’m not sure that ordinary tourists You will be able to ride this cable car. This is probably what accounts for its obscurity. Accordingly, we can unequivocally say that the cable car in Crimea “Miskhor - Ai-Petri” really has one of the longest unsupported spans in Europe and is certainly in first place in terms of this indicator among those publicly available.

We arrived at the bottom station at 14:00 and boarded fairly quickly, but sometimes there are long queues, especially in high season. The ascent takes on average 15 minutes. At the Sosnovy Bor station we change to the next booth. Operators operate the cable car from here.

The cable car is of a pendulum type, 4 cabins run in antiphase. The elevation angle of the cabin near the mountain is 46 degrees. And this is one of the most exciting moments when the cabin slows down and comes close to the mountain wall.

Path to the rocks “Zubtsy”

After leaving the top station, without hesitation, we headed to the main attractions, to the top and to the “Zubtsy” rocks.

Along the way there is another attraction - Stephen's maple. This tree is about 250 years old. These trees are endemic to Crimea, that is, they are found only on the territory of the southern coast of Crimea. This species was discovered by Steven Christian Christianovich, a Russian botanist of Swedish origin, the first director of the Nikitin Botanical Garden.

The walk to the top is not far, only 500 m, periodically you come across encouraging signs.

We go to the top.

Suspension bridges on the rock “Zubtsy”

The most famous symbol of Ai-Petri is the Zubtsy rocks. This group of rocks, 60-80 meters high, is an ancient reef. The rocks are formed by the weathering of unstable limestone rocks.

To one of the rocks in the summer they make suspension bridges, which you can walk through with insurance. Naturally, this entertainment is paid - 500 rubles. In winter, suspension bridges are removed; they can simply be torn off by a gust of wind. Mount Ai-Petri is famous for its strong, gusty winds and is the windiest mountain in Crimea. The maximum recorded speed is 50 m/s.

In addition, for lovers of aerial procedures and adventures, a troll trail has been organized at the top of Ai-Petri.

The top of Mount Ai-Petri

The height of Mount Ai-Petri is 1234 m, and it is not the most high mountain Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla. The highest is Mount Roca (1346 m).

And of course, the most important thing why everyone climbs Mount Ai-Petri is the magnificent panoramas and views.

And the big advantage of Ai-Petri is that you don’t have to have the skills of a climber or go on a long and difficult hike for everyone, or even take an expensive excursion with a ride on an SUV (horses) in order to be at such a height with such beauties. Mount Ai-Petri is accessible to everyone. Of course, this also has its own characteristics: Ai-Petri’s attendance is very high. But without this there is no way: either one or the other. Those who are inspired by the high-altitude beauty can visit other peaks of Crimea. For example, a peak with a height of 1239 m, which we also visited as part of a short hike.

Some photographs can already be called historical. They were made in early October 2016. The space next to the upper station is cleared of shopping arcades and numerous cafes; How it will be equipped in the future - time will tell. We hope that it is beautiful and reasonable from the point of view of preserving natural objects. They also deliberately did not write about the cost of walking along the path to the battlements. This trail is included in the list of objects of the Yalta mountain forest nature reserve. Previously, the passage was paid, time will also tell how it will be organized in the future.

Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla

Turning back, we will see a panorama of the Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla.

The area of Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla is about 300 km2. The climate differs sharply from the subtropical climate of Yalta. When climbing Ai-Petri, you need to take this into account, the temperature may be 6-10 degrees lower than the sea, you need to take appropriate clothing with you. Winters here are full-fledged, snowy and frosts down to -25. Accordingly, this is one of the few places in Crimea where horseback riding is possible. alpine skiing, snowboarding and other things. Ski resort is located near the radio engineering battalion, which is impossible not to notice; these are white balls that look like an observatory.

Since Mount Ai-Petri is composed of limestone, a strong karst process is widespread. Simply put, there are a lot of caves, karst sinkholes and sinkholes on Ai-Petri. A kilometer from the top, and even closer from the parking lot, there are three caves equipped for visiting: Yaltinskaya, Geofizicheskaya and Trekhglazka. If you have time, we recommend visiting them. We were in a hurry and decided to visit them next time, since this time we were going to the caves located on the Chatyr-Dag plateau. But to visit them you need to go on a separate excursion, and the three mentioned above are nearby, this is their undoubted advantage. And for the first acquaintance with the beauty of the caves they will be useful.

Ai-Petri Yaila is rich in natural and historical attractions, and, in an amicable way, requires separate study and inspection. Our walk ends here. We also went down by cable car, although we could have gone down the serpentine road and seen a few more sights along the way. By the way, this is an excellent option if there is a long queue for the cable car and it already finishes its work (by 18:00).

Vacation in Crimea and not visit Ai-Petri? There are two classic options:

Go up/down on the cable car.
To go up, use the services of a minibus (from the Yalta bus station or from the lower cable car station), and go down by cable car.

In the spring of 2012, as far as I remember, both the cable car and the minibus fare was the same - 60 UAH. per person. For the active ones, which we consider ourselves to be, there is a more interesting offer - with Ai-Petri on foot. In principle, you can climb to the plateau and go down in one day - we once climbed from Yalta along, and returned along Taraktash (Taraktash trail). But Stavrikaika, firstly, is located above Yalta and leads up to the east of both Ai-Petri and Taraktash. Secondly, this is a fairly large load. Therefore, the compromise option is this: go up by cable car or minibus, and go down slowly on your own. There they are Ai-Petri trails for descent:

Taraktashskaya (goes to the Uchan-Su waterfall, from there along the paths you can get to the Glade of Fairy Tales in Yalta);
Koreizskaya or Miskhorskaya (located under the cable car and leads to Koreiz, Miskhor);
Malay-Bogaz (on the western side of Ai-Petri, closer to Alupka);
Shanghai East and West (both lead to Alupka, the West is more difficult);
“Jewish” (will also lead to Alupka).

For the first time, it is better to use the trails for descent rather than ascent.— the beginning is easier to find from above. All of them are within the capabilities of an averagely trained person. The main thing is comfortable shoes. This time we had a child with us - Dana, who was not yet four years old. She managed the route easily.

Exit from Ai-Petri

So, if we are at the upper station of the cable car, then we overcome the Tatar shalmans, souvenir rows, taking photographs with a camel, horse riding... Here, in fact, we slow down and turn left - there is a dirt road going to the west. The Tatars laid their walking horse paths along it. We should go there too. After 300-400 m, the primer bifurcates and then joins again. Let's go along the left side to see a branch to one of the above trail with Ai-Petri- Malay-Bogaz. What if someday this trail will come in handy? The fork is located a little short of the junction of the primers - a path with hoof marks goes to the left and diagonally. First she walks through the deciduous forest, then along open place to the cliff. Malay-Bogaz begins there, but today we are not going there. We continue to move straight along the road.

A few pictures. Maybe we can persuade someone to follow us. If you walk along the dirt road a few hundred meters and turn around, you will see the following picture:

On the right (if you look at the photo) or, accordingly, on the left (if along the way) you can see where people go to take pictures at the Ai-Petri cliffs. Here (I feel that Dana will often be in the frame this time. The long sleeves and tights she is wearing are protection from the unseasonably hot sun; they forgot to take a Panama hat - I had to make one from what was at hand):

The same, but with a closer look:

Well, we are right on the road to the west. Through the woods:

Landmarks - abandoned military unit, "visor"

Another kilometer and the dirt road will begin to rise. There is a military unit there, but you need to pay attention to the rocky “peak” in the distance - it will just appear in the field of view. In his direction, a path will branch off from the road to the right. We turn towards it. Its beginning is difficult to ignore, but if you suddenly manage to go further along the road and run into a military unit, the path is easy to find nearby. It goes around the buildings on the right. We follow it to the “visor”. It's impossible to get lost on foot from Ai-Petri there is only one way. At the “visor” this path will gradually begin to descend downwards - this is the beginning of Shanghai East and West.

Photos again.

And this is the fork in front of the military unit (to it - straight along the road, for us - to the right along the path):

If you look back at this point:

Behind the military unit. There is only one path, it is impossible to stray from it. In the distance there is a “visor”:

Mount Ai-Petri, one of the most visited and famous attractions Crimean peninsula. The beauty of these mountain landscapes It's hard to describe in words. Is it possible for an artist with a brush in his hands to do this? Well, at worst, a good photographer. Better yet, come here and experience all the charm and breathtaking views for yourself.
The name of Mount Ai-Petri is translated as Saint Peter. Before the conquest of Crimea by the Tatars, it was located on the mountain christian temple St. Peter, the mountain and plateau were named after him.

Tourists flocked here en masse at the end of the 19th century, after the section of the road connecting the village of Sokolinoe and Yalta, through Mount Ai-Petri, was completed. The road was completed in 1894 and connected southern and central Crimea. As a consequence - two major cities Yalta and Bakhchisaray received direct message. Construction stone road practically took about 30 years, and is still one of the most complex engineering projects in Crimea.

How to get to Ai-Petri by car

If you decide to get to Mount Ai-Petri by car, you should get to the Ai-Petri plateau, and from there to the Ai-Petri cable station. It is from here that the ascent to the very peak of the mountain begins - to its teeth.
A pedestrian road leads to the Ai-Petri battlements from the cable station. The duration of the route is about 30 minutes, without large differences in altitude. The cost of walking up to the battlements is 100 rubles. Payment is at the entrance to the trail.

Peak of Ai-Petri

The top of Mount Ai-Petri It is the Prongs that are considered, their height from base to top is 1234 meters. In addition to the Zubtsov beautiful views, there are two extreme entertainments that can tickle your nerves, but are absolutely safe. All safety rules and almost every element are observed extreme entertainment has two levels of insurance.

The most interesting, to my taste, is the suspended road between the battlements. Walking through it really tickles your nerves; under your feet, through the cracks, you can see a huge gap, with sharp rocks and tree tops. After passing the cable car to Ai-Petri, you can safely add yourself to the category of extreme sports enthusiasts. The price of the walk is 500 rubles. The average duration of the transition is 10-15 minutes.
If you decide to go for a walk, it is best to do it in pairs, one walks along the path, the other takes photos and videos from the end point of the route, and then switches. This is how you will get more successful pictures as a memory.
Although this is a little longer in terms of time than going one after another, you can save a little time by taking the queue for the first person and immediately taking the queue for the second. In order for the first one to pass, and the second one to take a photo and get back in line in time, you should leave a gap of 6-7 people between people.

The second extreme route is a descent to the cable car station, on a suspended cable. The descent is very fast and fun, the cost of the descent is 1000 rubles. The safety of the route is also at the highest level. Both extreme attraction open from April to September inclusive.

Having descended from the battlements, you find yourself on the busiest part of the plateau, the market and a large number of cafes, canteens and restaurants. The food on the plateau is mainly Tatar: pilaf, pasties, lagman, lamb shashlik, etc. Also, if you want, you can find European cuisine. Prices in establishments Catering really different. Therefore, if you take a walk and look around a little, you can choose a menu and price tag that is acceptable to you. Due to the large number of tourists, the food is almost always fresh and tasty, but quite greasy, although the choice of dishes is quite large and everyone can find something acceptable for themselves. Almost all cafes and restaurants offer wine tasting. Almost all wine is either homemade or purchased at Crimean wineries. In most establishments the wine is of rather low quality, with big amount dyes. Therefore, if you want a high-quality drink, ask that they bring you wine bottled at the factory, with an excise stamp. This option will be the best for your body.

A little below the gazebo of the winds is the Uchan-Su Waterfall, it is the highest Crimean waterfall and one of the most high waterfalls on the territory of Europe. Literally translated from Turkic, the name translates as “Flying water”. The height of Uchan-Su is about 99 meters, the maximum peak activity of the waterfall occurs in the spring, from early March to mid-April. In summer, Wuchang-Su turns into a relatively small stream, but this does not prevent it from looking graceful and attractive. More details

In addition to all the attractions of Ai-Petri described above, I should also point out one of the most beautiful mountain roads Shtangeevskaya trail. The trail originates just below the Uchan-Su waterfall, but the most convenient way is to go up to the waterfall, from there walk 120 meters up the road and you will see a large sign - the Shtangeevskaya trail, with a description of the route. The route of the Shtangeevskaya trail passes over the Uchan-Su waterfall (you can approach the waterfall) along the picturesque valleys of Ai-Petri and gradually the Shtangeevskaya trail turns into the Botkinskaya trail and smoothly descends through coniferous forests to Yalta, namely to the Fairy Tale Zoo. The average walking time along the Shtangeevskaya and Botkin trails is 4-6 hours. The entire route is marked with colored markers, making it very difficult to lose your way. You will meet people along the entire route; the trails are very popular and well-trodden by thousands of tourists.

Climbing the Ai-Petri plateau on a cable car, you have a choice of how to go back down. You can go down the same way you went up, but in the summer, the queues are very long and you can stand in them for several hours. Therefore, the options are to go down by bus or minibus. But it should be taken into account that the driver is directly interested in getting down quickly and getting up quickly. Their earnings directly depend on this. In general, this is also a kind of extreme walk. But despite this, all drivers make sure to stop at the Silver Arbor and the Wuchang-Su waterfall.

How to plan a visit to Ai-Petri

Planning a route to visit Ai-Petri by car - in my opinion, it is better to start with a visit to the Grand Canyon, the entrance fee is 100 rubles. You can also be offered a guide - from 1000 rubles. The guys are very funny, but essentially they are practically useless. It is very difficult to lose your way. There are only two paths along which people ply all the time, even in winter. The walk takes about 2-3 hours along with a swim in the Bath of Youth.

The Grand Canyon of Crimea is located at the very beginning of the ascent to Mount Ai-Petri, from the side of the city of Bakhchisarai. If you are eating with South Bank Crimea - you have several options: go around Ai-Petri, through Sevastopol, then turn onto Bakhchisarai, and before it go to Ai-Petri. Or climb through the Ai-Petri plateau to the top of Ai-Petri, cross the entire plateau and go down to the foot from Bakhchisarai. From Yalta to the Grand Canyon it takes about 2 hours, if you go around it it will be about the same

Next after the visit Grand Canyon you need to climb the plateau again, walk to the battlements, and go down to eat in a cafe. After the cafe, you can choose a horseback ride or a visit to the Three-Eyes Cave. On average, a horse ride costs from 800 rubles. at one o'clock. You will also be offered an ATV ride and other entertainment; the cost is approximately the same everywhere.

Descending from Ai-Petri towards Yalta. The first stop on your way will be the Silver Gazebo. Visit - 100 rubles. Then the waterfall is a little lower about 15-17 km, the Uchan-Su waterfall. Also 100 rubles.
The entire walk is designed with departure from Yalta at 9:00 for the whole day; if you follow the proposed route, then by 20:00-21:00 you will be back in Yalta again.

If you are planning to visit Ai-Petri, then you need to pay attention to comfortable shoes, sneakers or sneakers, take warm clothes, because the temperature difference between Yalta and Ai-Petri can be up to 10 -15 C and be sure to take water with you. If you get motion sickness along serpentine roads, you can take anti-motion sickness pills at the pharmacy. Their cost is very low, and the effect is quite good.

Winter on Ai-Petri life doesn't stop. In winter, the Ai-Petri cap is usually covered with snow from January to February. And on this basis they were born winter views sports: skiing, boarding and sledding. Almost all winter trails in Crimea are located on the Ai-Petrensky plateau. The most popular routes are 25,26, 27 kilometers, laboratory. All routes are located almost in the middle of the plateau; you can reach them along the Yalta-Bakhchisarai road. There is only one road and it is impossible to miss. Only in winter it is cleared of snow. In winter, the climb up the mountain is generally only open to vehicles with all-wheel drive and wearing winter tires. During snowfalls, the passage to Ai-Petri is partially closed for a short time from Yalta and Bakhchisarai.
If you are planning a vacation to Crimea, no matter what time of year, be sure to visit Mount Ai-Petri, it is one of the most beautiful.
