Arkhyz Resort

Arkhyz lies between the Abishira-Akhuba and Gabulu ranges, where the Eastern Caucasus gradually meets the Western Caucasus.

The resort operates throughout the year on both its southern and northern slopes. Romantik and Lunnaya Polyana serve as convenient bases for mountain trips. In winter, pistes of varying difficulty welcome both beginners and experienced riders. In summer, ski runs give way to ecological trails leading to clear lakes and noisy waterfalls.

Cable cars climb toward summits with cleaner air and broader views. Panoramic cafés operate at altitude, while equipment rental and ski schools are available below. Arkhyz also offers tubing and snowmobiles in winter, paragliding and off-road excursions in warmer seasons, and other activities for visitors seeking space and adrenaline.

Guests can stay directly at the resort or in the nearby village of Arkhyz.

Arkhyz Vita mineral water rises in the Caucasus Mountains at an altitude of around 1,500 meters. It is naturally rich in calcium, magnesium, sodium, and iodine. Nearby, the heart-shaped Lake of Love preserves the legend of the tragic love between Karabek and Altynkyz. Travelers come not only for the scenery but also for a sense of vitality—the meaning suggested by the name Vita.
