Mount Belalakaiya

The beautiful Belalakaiya, also known as the Caucasian Matterhorn due to its resemblance to the Matterhorn mountain in Zermatt, is a huge rock pyramid towering over the Dombay meadow. In the heyday of mountaineering, according to V. N. Shataev, Belalakaiya was one of the most popular mountains in the Soviet Union. The song by Yu. Vizbor about Teberda mentions: "There in the misty distance, the bluish Belalakaiya stands like a bastion," emphasizing its grandeur and attractiveness to climbers. Along with Elbrus, Belalakaiya attracts the attention of mountain climbing enthusiasts.
