Mamison Resort

Mamison is an all-season resort in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. It is located in the famous Mamison Gorge, 100 kilometers from Vladikavkaz. In summer, scenic hikes and excursions to the springs are available, while in winter, the ski slopes open for skiing. Guests at the resort can enjoy delicious cuisine and choose from a variety of accommodation options, including an eco-village, space glamping, and a tent camp. You can also learn more about the region's history by visiting the 7th-9th century Christian church sanctuary, the open-air museum of Lisri village, and many other attractions.

Mamison invites you to a trekking weekend.

On August 8th and 9th, the Ossetian resort of Mamison will host group hikes along eco-trails, accompanied by professional guides and photographers. Anyone can enjoy the trails: guests will have a choice of easy and medium difficulty routes, and participation is free. A cable car ticket will be required to access the starting point of some routes.

"Trekking weekends are a format that has proven successful at all resorts since last season. They allow everyone to 'test' our trails and trekking as a recreational activity, and they fulfill one of the company's goals: promoting active recreation in the region," says Rustam Tapayev, Deputy General Director of Kavkaz.RF.

Starting at 10:00 AM, guests will assemble in the resort's main square and be divided into groups, accompanied by live music from DJs. Guests can choose their preferred route, and guides will recommend the best option based on their level of fitness and equipment. Each participant will receive a healthy snack for the journey. The trails will depart at 10:30 AM. The routes will take up to four hours.

Groups will depart from the resort's upper station along the Peak 2727 and Mamihdon trails. The first trail will involve a 3.8-kilometer ridge climb with an elevation gain of 240 meters, taking approximately two hours. The second trail leads down to the tent camp; guests will hike five kilometers from an altitude of 2,950 meters to 2,390 meters and back, part of the way along the Mamihdon mountain river.

You can reach Mamihdon by regular transfer from Vladikavkaz. Transfers depart from the Ossetian Theater at 8:00 AM.

All routes are radial, ending at the meeting point. Clear navigation, rest areas, and observation platforms will accompany all equipped routes. Guests of the trekking weekend can participate in a photo shoot and receive complimentary photos taken by a professional photographer.

Kavkaz.RF, with the support of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, has already paved and developed over 250 kilometers of hiking trails in several republics of the North Caucasus. The trails are part of the large-scale National Caucasus Trail project, which will eventually connect the region with a network of eco-trails totaling almost 2,500 kilometers. For easy navigation along the trails, a mobile app, "National Caucasus Trail," has been created.
