Mount Moussa-Achitara in Dombay

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

Mount Moussa-Achitara, or rather the Moussa-Achitara ridge is the main place of activity in Dombay in winter, since it is on the slopes of the mountain that all the ski slopes of the resort pass. But even in summer, the mountain will be interesting to tourists, since it is the most accessible three-thousandth in the vicinity of Dombay. Its height, according to various sources, ranges from 3012 to 3200 meters, and our (the authors of the site) measurements showed 3130 meters.

The easiest way to climb to the top of Moussa Achitara is with the help of a new cable car, but for those who want to test their strength, this way can be done on foot in both directions within one day. Technically, the ascent is not difficult and runs along well-rolled ski slopes and roads for off-road vehicles, but it will take 6 kilometers and more than 1500 meters in height to overcome from the center of the village to the highest point. This is a very decent height difference, which only hardy and well-trained people can do. If you are not one of these, you can shorten the 600 meters of ascent using pendulum cable car or the first level new cable car. And by the way, it will be possible to go down from the top on a cable car for free.
