The early Muslim burial site in Veduchi is located in the Itum-Kali District of the Chechen Republic, in the village of the same name.
It is situated on a slope and consists of burials from different periods. Most of the graves have vertical stone slabs. The burial site is fenced off.
The early Muslim burial site in Veduchi is a cultural heritage site and is located on the territory of the Argun Historical, Architectural, and Natural Museum-Reserve. It is protected by the state.
The first gondola of the large-scale cable car at Veduchi has been installed.
This is a 4.4-kilometer-long 3S cable car on three supporting towers. It will connect the resort's southern (current) and northern (constructed but not yet operational) slopes.
The maximum span between the towers is 2,860 meters. The gondola can accommodate 32 people and is an art object in itself. The next step is to stretch the cables between the towers using a helicopter.
A new children's slope has appeared at the Chechen resort of Veduchi.
An additional grass ski lift has been installed on the 200-meter southern slope of the resort to make skiing lessons more effective.
"Initially, the children's slope was 80 meters long, but now it is 200 meters long. The upper part is gentler, while the lower part has a steeper slope and narrows. This season, we have set ourselves the goal of increasing the number of guests who are skiing for the first time, because these are the future guests of the resort's full infrastructure, which includes 14 km of slopes and four lifts on the northern slope," says Rustam Tapaev, Deputy General Director of Kavkaz.RF.
The Veduchi resort is primarily geared towards active family vacations. It has a one-kilometer-long blue slope that is open all year round, with artificial snowmaking and lighting. There is a training slope, a children's slope, and a tubing park. During the New Year holidays alone, more than 400 children took to the slopes at Veduchi for the first time. Since the beginning of the year, 2,785 people have visited the resort under construction in Chechnya.
A unique cable car is being built at the resort, which will stretch 4.4 km over the Argun Gorge and connect the southern and northern slopes. On the opposite side, 14 km of ski slopes of varying difficulty are already ready and waiting for their moment. A large chain hotel from the Cosmos Hotel Group is preparing to open, and a restaurant is being built next to the lower station of the cable car.
The project for a snowcat garage on the northern slope of Veduchi has passed the Main State Expert Review.
It will be one of the epicenters of the ski infrastructure, located at the very top of the main skiing area — the Daneduk ridge at an altitude of 2,327 meters. After reviewing the design and estimate documentation, the Russian State Expert Review Board issued a positive conclusion on the snowcat garage project.
The multi-story building for five vehicles (two inside and three under a canopy) will house not only equipment, but also rooms for staff to rest and eat, bathrooms, utility rooms, and even a mini-fuel station with a capacity of 90 cubic meters of fuel. The total building area will be almost 600 square meters. And all this will be located at the top of the northern slope of the resort, between the stations of two chairlifts with the working names VL2 and VL4. The construction of these chairlifts is already nearing completion.
On September 20, the Sports Family Festival took place in Veduchi.
Participants ran a 21 km race along a picturesque route with an elevation gain of 1,100 meters. There were no technically difficult sections. It was a great opportunity to run along an eco-trail with a view of the Khacharoyakh River gorge, descend into the valley, and explore the ancient mountain village of Veduchi.
There was also a 3 km fun run, family relays, master classes and quests, children's and teenage races, cornhole, frisbee and archery games, an open-air concert and an awards ceremony for participants.
Summer tourist traffic to Veduchi grew by 10% thanks to organized eco-trail tours.
Every month, Kavkaz.RF conducted group hikes along the resort's most scenic eco-trails. In addition to the hike, guests of Veduchi were offered a free transfer from Grozny and a professional photo session upon request.
"It all started a year ago with a hike organized by Aishat Ramzanovna Kadyrova, Deputy Chair of the Government of the Chechen Republic. At that time, more than two hundred people joined the 5 km trek. We saw a big surge of interest on social media and an increase in requests for this type of organized leisure activity. This summer, we introduced trekking weekends into the system," says Rustam Tapaev, deputy general director of Kavkaz.RF.
The eco-trail network, which is already extensive—nine routes with a total length of 36 km—is actively developing further. By the end of the year, specialists plan to lay another 30 km of trails, including connecting the Veduchi resort with Lake Kezenoy-Am via a dirt road.
“The route, almost 100 km long, revealed itself in all its glory when we started holding mountain races. It was this track, ”Kezhenoy-Am – Veduchi," that became the most scenic. Together with the Ministry of Tourism of the Chechen Republic, we came up with the idea of creating a route that can be traveled by SUV, bicycle, or on foot," says Rustam Tapaev.
All work is being carried out as part of the project to create the interregional tourist route “National Caucasian Trail.” By next summer, it is planned to create a digital twin of the trails that can be used online and offline, allowing tourists to access information about the trails even without internet access.
