Altaiskiy State Nature Biosphere Reserve

The Altaiskiy State Nature Reserve was established in 1932 on the right shores of the Teletskoye Lake and in the upper reaches of the Chulyshman River to keep the pristine nature of Gorny Altai safely intact.

Apart from the Reserve's recent news, our website contains a lot of interesting information from the history of the Reserve and guidelines for tourists visiting the protected area, including sample itineraries.

Recent issues of the Universal Sanctuary Commandment newspaper prepared by the editorial staff of the Reserve may also be found on our website. We hope that anyone interested in Altai in general, and in life of the Reserve and the Teletskoye Lake in particular, will find the newspaper useful and informative.
