Dombay Resort

Dombay is a year-round resort in Karachay-Cherkessia in the heart of Teberda National Park. From mid-December to April, it offers about 25 km of ski and snowboard pistes for all levels, from beginners to advanced riders. February and March usually provide the best conditions, with dense, stable snow.

The resort is surrounded by the peaks of Mussa-Achitara, Belalakaya, and Semyonov-Bashi. Cable cars are operated by different companies, so there is no single ski pass. Equipment rental and a children’s ski school with professional instructors are available. Cafés near the lifts and in the village serve Caucasian and Russian food.

Winter activities include snowmobiling, ice climbing, snowshoeing, and photography tours. In summer, visitors hike, fish, climb, and swim. Popular routes include the walk to Shumka Waterfall and the health trail along the Dombay-Ulgen River.
