About the route
The hiking section starts at Pikhtovy Shelter, reached by the Gazprom Laura cable car. The loop passes Bear Gate and Bzerpi Cornice, climbs Bzerpi Peak and continues across open alpine terrain toward Tabunnaya, with broad views of Pseashkho, Chugush and the Caucasus Nature Reserve. It returns to Pikhtovy Shelter, so allow enough time for the last cable car.
