Bus how to get to dombai. How to get to Dombai - all the ways. The fastest way

I heard a lot about Dombai, and those who were in the winter and those who were in the summer talked avidly. I also wanted to go to Dombay, but getting there, to put it mildly, is not very good, so I chose more easily accessible ski resorts. That year she decided to go beyond the boundaries of comfort))) and realized her old dream.

Dombay and nearest airports

The nearest airport from Dombai is located 200 kilometers away in Mineralnye Vody. In this regard, all transport is focused on Mineral water or Nevinnomyssk, where the railway station is located. You can get from the airport to Dombay by taxi, bus or by ordering a transfer, which is not much different from a taxi.

The airport in Mineralnye Vody is new, but not large; it mainly receives flights from Moscow and St. Petersburg. I just flew through Moscow, because direct flight it never happened. Tickets can be purchased on one of the sites, it is very convenient, there is no need to go to the airport across the city.

By car

For a trip to the mountains, especially in winter, you need to prepare. You should take into account that the road is narrow in places, and due to snow drifts it turns into a white tunnel. You should have a first aid kit, a cable, chains for wheels, a shovel, a flashlight, a navigator, batteries, a map, water and food. In general, the road is of good quality as for a mountain one, but there are dangerous sections where the road goes over a cliff. In some areas does not accept mobile connection, so at night, I strongly advise against this route. During the day, there are always cars on the road, if you can ask for help.

If you are going to rent a car, then you can search for a car on different sites such as, there are now a lot of them on the Internet, you can easily find a suitable option, but check if the car has chains and a cable. Perhaps they are given for an additional fee. The first part of the route goes along the A157, which starts right near the airport. The landscape is interesting, even before high mountains still kilometers, but there is something to see along the way. The closer the mountains, the more curved the road becomes, and the more majestic the landscapes. In the end, the A157 runs into the A155, and another 67 km from the crossroads to Dombai.
The reserve begins in Teberda, on the territory of which Dombay is located, and Teberda should not be confused with Nizhnyaya Teberda and Upper Teberda, these are different villages. Teberda is the closest to Dombai, where they charge a toll, which tourists often complain about.

Taxi and transfer

Dozens of taxi drivers will gladly take you from the airport to Dombay, the price, of course, is decent. In this region, approximately the following order of prices:

• taxi (minibus) costs from 5000 rubles. Ordering a minibus is a better solution than driving a car. With equipment this is a torment, so imagine your skis sticking out of the trunk and rewound with red tape. Have you presented? I think you have already mentally abandoned a passenger car. In addition, from 7 people can sit in a minibus, and not 4, respectively, the trip will cost 720 rubles per person. And when ordering and return transfer to the airport, why not ask for a discount? In general, a great option for a large company!
• a taxi (car) will cost 3,000 rubles, as I wrote above, it is problematic to accommodate four of us with luggage.
• transfer from the airport to Dombay. A great option for a couple of tourists who prefer comfort. And again skis ... Jumping with them from one bus to another is not convenient. And at the airport you sat down and after 3-4 hours you were already there. The transfer costs 1,500 rubles per person. Find one of the sites that provide such a service, sign up and they will select a company for you.

Taxi drivers stand near the airport in the parking lot, you can also call a car by phone. The ordered minibus will also drive up to the terminal; you will already agree on the meeting point yourself.

By bus

Immediately I warn you, get on public transport without transfers to Dombai will not work and please be patient) So, you flew to, left the airport. A square with a fountain will open in front of you, which naturally will not work in winter. Next to him, on the left, is bus stop, the pointer is present. Here bus number 11 runs, which passes by the bus station and the railway station, you need to get to the bus station, the stop is called "Ruslan Market", the trip will take no more than 10 minutes. The bus schedule will suit you, they run from 6:30 to 20:00 every 15-30 minutes. You will immediately see the bus station from the road, it is located at st. Soviet, 97.
From here, buses run daily to Teberda, the flight departs at 14:45 and arrives in 6 hours! And this is not the end of the route, you will come to Dombai for the night looking, taking a taxi in Teberda.
Additional transfers in some cities will not help; very little transport travels to Teberda. It would seem that another 25 km and the bus would have already arrived at Dombay, but no, the buses do not reach there at all. The reason for this is the absence of the local population - these are only hotels. Although tourists travel all year round, there is still seasonality. In spring and autumn, you can't go skiing and you don't go on a decent hike) it's another matter in summer or winter.

Buying tickets

Tickets for bus number 11 are sold from the driver, and for the bus to Teberda at the ticket office of the bus station or at the official. You can also see the schedule here.

Price

A ticket for bus No. 11 costs 15 rubles, for a bus to Teberda - 460 rubles. Taxi from Teberda to - 300-500 rubles, be sure to bargain.

When I went on a train in the North Caucasus, I assumed, of course, that I would receive vivid impressions... But I had no idea how much this region would hook me. How beautiful these mountains, passes, gorges will turn out to be ...

And in this article I want to tell you what skiing is. Dombay resort summer.

What does an ordinary person know about Dombai? That it is somewhere in the Caucasus, that inveterate skiers are trying to get there, that it is beautiful there. We went there with about the same knowledge. And that's what came of it.

Dombay: why it is worth coming here, even if you are not a skier

Usually, when they say the words "unique nature" to me, describing a place, I begin to suspect that it is not so unique.

Well, think for yourself: will it occur to anyone in a travel guide to Austria to focus on unique nature? I doubt. For this is illogical, if only because it will be very similar in neighboring Germany and Switzerland. In general, all large mountains are somewhat similar. And the most interesting thing: having been in some big mountains, fall in love with everyone else in absentia. Have you noticed?

How to get there

By plane you can fly to the airport in Kavminvody. From the bus station of Mineralnye Vody you can take a bus to Teberda , and from there take a taxi or a bus to Dombai.

But the most pleasant option is, of course, to travel around the Caucasus, as we do in our own car. We drove from the side of Kislovodsk and drove out of the mountains onto the highway just at Cherkessk.

By car from Cherkessk (the capital of Karachay-Cherkessia) you will reach Dombay along the A-155 highway in 2-2.5 hours. And believe me - this will be one of the most beautiful roads in your life!

While we were driving, I involuntarily had associations with the same Swiss landscapes:

These paintings would be called "Alpine pastorals" if the minaret towers and rickety fences were removed. And add the bell towers of Catholic churches, coupled with the high-speed rail and autobahn.

By the way, one of the features the region- cars without license plates. This is how local horsemen ride. The traffic police officers obviously do not touch them (wai, yes, they are their own!), But with the camera that the federals put in and which captures everyone by state number, it is unlikely that it will be possible to agree.

Instead of cows with bells, lean stallions graze along the slopes along the road. Indeed, it is customary to be proud and admire horses in the Caucasus! As in, Karachay-Cherkessia has its own subject for pride.

The existence of two separate breeds, the Kabardian and the Karachai, was officially recognized in 1935 - although in the first volume of the state herd book, all Caucasian breeds were united under the general term "mountain". In 1943, after the repressions and deportation of the Karachais to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, all references to this people, including the name of the local horse breed, were cleared. Of course, the Karachai horses themselves continued to exist, but they were recorded as Kabardian. It was only possible to "rehabilitate" the breed as a separate breed in the 1980s, but the controversy continues to this day.

And we are already approaching Teberda - once the largest anti-tuberculosis resort in the USSR.

Teberda: say yes to nature

The resort is located at an altitude of 1300-1400 meters above sea level, in the picturesque valley of the Teberda river.

It is this resort that will become your transit point if you go to Dombay not by car, but fly by plane to the Caucasian Mineral Waters.

For a resident of large cities, Teberda will seem like a big village. But once it was with her that the tourist boom to these places began. Only then it was not skiers or lovers of trekking in the mountains who were eager to rest here. And people suffering from tuberculosis, which they called "the plague of the 19th century."

The climate of Teberda is characterized by low atmospheric pressure, low humidity and high air ionization (50 times higher than in cities and on the plain). Another point is the special wind regime. The valley receives both fresh air from the surrounding mountains and warm air from the Black Sea. At the same time, thanks to the mountains, biologically active substances, phytoncides produced by plants - relict pines and meadow grasses - are retained in the valley. So this place is one great natural inhaler.

In 1870, in these places, the wife of Captain Kuzovlev, who was the right hand of the head of this whole district, was successfully cured of consumption. To celebrate, the captain built a dacha in the local area, where his wife lived happily for another 20 years.

Another lucky man who was helped from tuberculosis by the local climate was Islam Krymshamkhalov, a Karachai artist and public figure. Having settled in Teberda, Krymshamkhalov became one of the main beautifiers of the resort. In 1910, a letter was written to the then governor of the Caucasus, Illarion Ivanovich Vorontsov-Dashkova, and the next year in Teberda, the construction of state-owned dachas, the prototypes of modern boarding houses, began.

In the same year, at the Pirogov Congress of Doctors in Moscow, Teberda was officially recognized mountain climatic resort ... So Teberda became an alternative not only to the Crimean, where domestic asthmatics and tuberculosis patients were traditionally treated, but also to expensive resorts and. Here they are, the origins of import substitution, friends :-)

The first Soviet health resorts appeared here in 1923, and in the 1930s Teberda turned into a privileged resort; large ministries and departments were building sanatoriums here.

Even now Teberda has not lost either the status of a federal resort or its main advantages. The nature here is still defiantly beautiful, as we have personally seen. And it is through Teberda, like a hundred years ago, that the only road passes - the former Military-Sukhum road, now the federal highway A-155.

It is only 25 kilometers from here to Dombai (20 minutes by car).

And the closer we get to it, the more it starts to seem to me that I am traveling again in the mountains of Switzerland ...

Because that pyramidal peak over there reminds me of the Matterhorn.

And here he is Dombay village... It is located at 1600 m above sea level. This place is called Dombayskoy Polyana... Three gorges converge here. And accordingly, three rivers merge together - Alibek, Dombai-Ulgen and Amanauz.

The town itself is small. Literally a couple of turns - and we are already driving into the parking lot at bottom station cable car.

Dombay in the summer: what is worth visiting

Mount Dombai-Ulgen - highest peak Western Caucasus (4046 m), which gave the name to the entire region. It is located to the east resort village Dombay, on the border of Abkhazia and Karachay-Cherkessia.

Dombay has been known in our country as a ski resort since the late 1960s. Nowadays, in terms of infrastructure, the resort lags behind more modern competitors. But the prices here are more democratic, and the atmosphere is almost homey.

Before we got out of the car, an uncle jumped up to us and, in a friendly way, offered us not to overpay for the ascent on the new cable car, but to ride the old one, 300 rubles cheaper.

We looked at it ... Maybe it's romantic, of course, but I don't want to risk it. We go to the ticket office of the new cable car.

Prices for a new lift

One climb for 3 stages costs 1050 rubles. Winter ski passes (judging by the price list at the checkout) were as follows: 1 day - 1600 rubles, 2 days - 2840, 3 - 3910 rubles. Very sincere, compared to the prices in Krasnaya Polyana.

The rise starts from the 1590 mark, which is already quite a lot. The first stage of the cable car - up to 2277 meters - is a gondola, i.e. 8-seater closed booths. And the view from them to the valley opens like this:

At 2277 meters, you can walk a little, take pictures and gather courage if you are afraid of heights - there will be a chair lift next.

If you love hand-made souvenirs, then great shopping awaits you here:

Yes, and before boarding the wheelchair, it is worthwhile to warm up - the temperature at the top will be 10 degrees lower than in the valley. So take your last chance.

We pass to the chair. Of course, there are no waiting lines for boarding.

We rise higher and higher. So a snowball appeared on the track. The snow cannons are not visible, which means that nature is a product, as they say.

As I found out later, after returning from Dombai, the artificial snowmaking system had already been purchased and will appear on the ski slopes of the Dombai resort in December 2018, by the beginning of the new winter season.

In the meantime, we admire the natural beauties. The landscapes are simply breathtaking! How can this be conveyed in words?

True, the sight of people traveling in the opposite chairs is a little alarming - they are wrapped in clothes, like the Germans near Moscow:

But after Elbrus, which met us with a snowstorm, we are no longer afraid of anything.

Why is it worth taking the cable car in the summer

Dombai glade and the surrounding mountains are legendary places. For climbers, Dombay is generally a cult place. It was with them, the climbers, that the development of the region began in the pre-war years. The skiers came later. But it is for them that money is now being invested in the infrastructure of the region.

Although it is the old recognizable views that remain the hallmark of Dombai. Like, for example, that hotel in the form of a "flying saucer":

In this regard, local guides will definitely tell you the legend of how the aliens once landed on this place, and they liked it so much that they changed their minds to fly away and parked their "ship" here forever ... Well, looking at the panoramas of these mountains, willingly believe it.

Along the way, I note for myself that tracks on Dombai not difficult: rather wide and not too steep.

We are approaching 3035 meters above sea level. It's cool here, of course, and warm things save you. You can go another 200 m higher in a chairlift. But for now we decide to look around here.

First, we go to capture an excellent view of Mount Belalakaya:

If you, like us, have seen a lot mountain resorts for its tourist century, and in your archive there are 100,500 photos with views of the mountains, then this inscription will remind you exactly where you enjoyed the panoramas of the snow-capped peaks.

There are simple cafes here, where skiers seem to dine.

Tourists with pretensions will definitely not be enthusiastic about visiting such "authentic" establishments. I'm not even talking about the toilet, which hangs over the abyss (note - the cost of a visit is 30 rubles):

There are also about a dozen different souvenir stalls here - what if, for complete happiness, you urgently need that cute hat with ears?

But this is understandable, everything is as it should be. Where there are tourists, there are souvenirs.

But what this uncle was doing at the ski resort with two machine guns in an embrace - we still did not understand:

We pass it forward and wait for the next chair. We decided not to climb another 200 meters: everything sank in a cloud, visibility was zero, and we did not smile at all to freeze on a chair.

On the way down, a piercing wind blows in the face. But we still manage to make a couple more beautiful shots:

Below we are overtaken by a feeling of hunger, and in search of food we go to the other side of the river, across the bridge:

How much does it cost to eat at Dombai

On the other side of the river we find stalls and a couple of cafes standing in a plump.

The prices for food in Dombai in summer and winter are almost the same and depend on the level of the establishment. Our favorite khychins cost from 100 rubles in a cafe, from 130-200 rubles in a restaurant. The main fillings are meat, potatoes, cottage cheese or soft cheese with herbs. But you can't guess with them: they can serve small ones, where the cat cried to fillings, or, on the contrary, they can bring such that one can eat up with this snack.

The main dishes include: river and lake trout (from 250 rubles per serving, usually one big fish), the same cost is mountainous and Karachai-style meat. A teapot of mountain tea with honey or jam - from 150 rubles. Lagman and shurpa usually from 150 rubles per serving. In general, you can eat in a cafe from 500 rubles for two.

What to see in the vicinity of Dombai

And we begin to desperately regret that we did not take another couple of days to visit Dombai ...

Some sights are accessible by our car - roads are paved to them. However, the bus cannot travel along the mountain roads, so there are no large groups of tourists at these sites. Some of them, as we were told, will have to walk on foot along the picturesque mountain trails.

All in all, summer rest in Dombai it can turn out to be very, very diverse, there is no shortage of excursions and entertainment.

Prices for some activities: ATV rental - about 2000 rubles; horseback riding - from 1000 rubles per person; fishing - from 500 rubles

There is one nuance: many natural beauties of the Teberda Biosphere Reserve, in addition, the border with Abkhazia is located nearby. Therefore, the scheme here is the same as in Krasnaya Polyana: if you go on these routes, you will have to issue a pass to the border zone. Previously, it had to be done in advance (2-3 days) in Cherkessk, but now you can get it directly from the forester on the route. But you need to have your passport with you and fill out a form. This is done for free.

But the trails in the reserve are paid. The cost of the passage is 100-150 rubles. Agree, it's not much if all these lakes and waterfalls are really as beautiful as in the photos in travel brochures.

Where to stay in Dombai

There are quite a few guest houses and hotels on Dombai. All of them differ from each other in the level of accommodation, the quality of the services provided. However, all Dombai hotels are famous for their Caucasian hospitality and homeliness. The price level in the summer and winter months is of course different.

In the off-season, a double standard can be found from 1300 rubles, in winter the cost of rooms in most hotels starts from 2000 rubles. Modest apartments cost from 2 thousand rubles, a higher level - from 4 thousand. As a rule, prices go up by the New Year.

In Dombai, we rested in the off-season (May 2018) and, choosing options for ourselves, looked at the following hotels:

• Chateau Leopard
• Hotel National
• Crystal Hotel
• Meridian
• Andersen Hotel
• Hotel Gonachkhir

If you need something simpler, you can ask the price of these options:

• Hotel Sokol
• Dombai's crown
• Star
• Altair-Dombay
• Sky Hotel
• Hotel Stella

If you do not want to independently organize your vacation in Dombai, then you can buy a ready-made tour.

All hands on deck!

In general, if you plan your vacation in Dombay not in ski season(and here it lasts from December to April), get ready for breathtaking mountain trails and incredible adventures. And take at least a week to your vacation!

Because now, after returning from this region, I have already made a whole list of why I want to return there. If you are also a supporter active rest, then these places will also capture you ...

I look forward to your comments and questions.

See you on the blog!
