As soon as a new tourist route "Small Golden Ring of Altai" was tested in the region, they immediately took up a new, much larger project - "Big gold ring Altai ".
Motor rally on the "Big Ring"
The project turned out to be sweeping, covered a third of the region's territory and received the status of an interregional transboundary. It was presented by Governor Alexander Karlin in the presence, as they say, of all interested parties. At the same time, the head of the region emphasized: this is only a draft concept, a working version that needs an expert assessment and a preliminary exchange of views.
The exchange of views took place, but not as controversial as expected. Maybe because it took some time to comprehend, try to more accurately assess the tourist potential of the route, your possible participation in it? The participants in the discussion were divided into two groups. And it turned out that in one - the heads of cities and rural areas, through which the route of the Great Ring is laid, in the other - tour operators. The first questions did not have - they already realized the prospects for their territories (even if not all on their own, to some he was told personally by the governor). The second asked specific questions, the main one of which was about the roads. After all, the length of the route is about 1.5 thousand km, and if tourists are driven along bad, shaky roads, the route will not have the success that the region is counting on.
Alexander Karlin, realizing the exceptional importance of the topic, elaborated on the "road theme". He began with exact numbers: 1200 km of the route runs along an asphalt road, of varying degrees of wear, but still it is asphalt, 220 km is crushed stone and about 80 km of a dirt road. The Governor announced that the entire road route of the route will be asphalt. As it was already done on the route "Small Golden Ring of Altai". Roadworks project on site will be considered soon Altai Territory in 2012, and the interests of the new tourist route will be taken into account when approving the plan. In a few years, the road along the entire “ring” will be put in full order.
The Governor instructed to form a group to finalize the concept of the route, asked the heads of the territories to analyze the tourism potential of the municipality once again and give their creative proposals, if any.
Concluding the presentation, Alexander Karlin made it clear that this project and its presentation at the level of the regional administration is a kind of signal for business, a direction in which it is advisable for it to advance. In order to have time, to stake out the points of the route, before entrepreneurs from other regions appeared here, quick to make business decisions and to rise. So that Altai businessmen would not be offended later that they missed out on a real benefit. And it is doubly annoying that - after all, they warned.
More details about the interregional cross-border route "The Big Golden Ring of Altai" - in the presentation of Yuri Zakharov, head of the Altai Territory Department for the development of tourist, recreational and sanatorium complexes, which we present to our readers.
"Big Golden Ring of Altai" (draft route)
The Altai Territory has unique resources, not only for the development of industry and agriculture, but also for tourism, which is gaining more and more popularity.
A variety of natural complexes, the presence of unique monuments of history and culture annually attract about a million not only Russian, but also foreign tourists.
Data characterizing the current state of the tourism industry is presented on the slide. 
AT last years great attention is paid to the development of tourism both at the regional and federal levels.
In December 2010, a long-term target program "Development of tourism in the Altai Territory" for 2011 - 2016 was approved, which provides for the development of 11 tourist clusters on the territory of 14 municipalities region. In addition, such tourist clusters as "Golden Gate" and "Belokurikha" were included in the federal target program "Development of domestic and inbound tourism in Russian Federation (2011 - 2018).
The program documents identified the priority territories for the development of tourism in the region - tourist clusters, as well as activities aimed at developing tourism and promoting the tourist product. In particular, one of the activities of the Administration of the Altai Territory, within the framework of a long-term target program, is the development of tourist routes that contribute to the redistribution of tourist flows on the territory of the Altai Territory and the consolidation of efforts of the regional authorities and the business community to expand the list of services provided to tourists and improve their quality.
Schematic map of the route "Big Golden Ring of Altai"
One of the pilot projects within the framework of this event was the creation of a brand tourist route "Small Golden Ring of Altai". According to preliminary data, over 500 tourists have already traveled through it from June to September.
Taking into account the positive experience of the implementation of this project, the Governor of the Altai Territory set a more ambitious task - to develop a new tourist route that would show not only beauty altai mountains, but also amazing landscapes and objects of one of the largest plains in the world - West Siberian.
And today we present to you this project - the interregional transboundary tourist route "The Big Golden Ring of Altai"
The territory along which the route passes has an interesting history. In the middle of the 18th century, the Kolyvano-Kuznetsk defensive line was created here in order to protect against the raids of the militant Dzungars, the distance of which did not exceed forty versts between neighboring defensive structures. Military service was carried out by the Russian Cossacks. Until now, from the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk in Kazakhstan to the city of Novokuznetsk in Kemerovo region and mainly in the southern part of the Altai Territory, the descendants of the Cossacks live and preserve their traditions.
Traveling along the "Big Golden Ring of Altai" allows you to visit not only these historical places, but also make a trip to the Cossack settlements of Kuzbass and Kazakhstan. Taking into account also the fact that the route passes along a part of the Chuisky tract, located on the territory of the Altai Republic, it is possible to rightfully assign the “Big Golden Ring of Altai” the status of an interregional transboundary tourist route.

About a million years ago, it got noticeably colder on Earth, and then, as usual, it got warmer and the glaciers melted. Then the waters from the foothills of the Altai rushed along the ancient channel of the Ob to the north, but the ice dam forced them to turn towards the Irtysh. Later continental ice descended, and the Ob and its tributaries laid their own channel, which is very similar to the current one. On the remaining layers of sand brought into the hollows by ancient rivers, unique ribbon pine forests have grown. The largest belt originates from the Ob River near Barnaul and stretches for almost 400 km. Its width in some places reaches 15 km.

In the center of the mound there are huge stone pillars - this is the answer of our ancestors to the British Stonehenge. Some scholars say that the stone pillars standing in a row served as an observatory for the ancients: at sunrise, on the day of the equinox, the shadows from all the steles converge.

Snowdrifts, ice floes, glass trees from frost, steam rises from the warm water ... And here snow-white swans sliding along the dark surface fall into this mezzanine. What is this - a mirage, an optical illusion? No! Almost half a century ago, on a small non-freezing lake, a small flock of wild whooper swans suddenly remained for the winter. And every year they began to return, already with offspring. Now up to five hundred beautiful white birds winter here, and these lands received the status of a reserve. This miracle is located on the Pre-Altai plain among the meadow steppes and ancient terraces of the Katun.

In Altai legends, this river is a wayward khan's daughter, unpredictable and changeable. Muddy and angry in spring, in autumn she calms down, repainting the waters in emerald. For this inconstancy, we have to thank the weather: in spring and summer the river is fed by rain, snow and glaciers. And when the gray water disappears, only pure underground waters remain in the Katun, and it becomes turquoise. It is here that a unique tourist zone is located, which is called “Turquoise Katun”.
yarovoe town

Tourist routes Altai Territory. The Altai Territory, highly endowed with such important factors for the development of tourism as rich natural-recreational and historical and cultural resources, is not like other popular places of recreation and tourism. High mountains, mountain valleys, alpine meadows, cedar forests, mixed forests on mountain slopes, mountain rivers with rifts and waterfalls, many large and small lakes, warm, sunny and dry summers, clean air - all these features altai nature attract tourists here not only from Western Siberia, but also from the European part of Russia. The main tourist routes pass along the main transport artery of the Altai Mountains - the Chuisky tract. It stretches for 600 km from the city of Biysk, where Biya and Katun merge, forming the Ob, to the border with Mongolia near the village of Kosh-Agach. The most popular tourist route in Altai runs along the Chuysky tract through the tourist base "Katun" on the banks of the river of the same name, the village of Srostki, the birthplace of the writer V. M. Shukshin, and the capital of the Gorno-Altai Republic, the city of Gorno-Altaysk. At 109 km from Biysk, tourists cross the river. Katun near the tourist base "Yunost", near which, near the village of Ust-Sema, from the Chuysky tract, there is a road to the mountain-climatic and kumis resort of Chemal (180 km from Biysk). After the passage of the Chuisky tract to the left bank of the Katu, the path of tourists lies along the valley of the river. Semy among mountain forests and alpine meadows, gradually climbing the Seminsky pass, from which a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains opens. After the descent, the tract rises to another pass, Cheke-Taman, and passes to the right bank of the Katun, and then along the valley of the river. Chui descends to the village of Kosh-agach. The second popular tourist route - to the Teletskoye lake - departs from the Chuisky tract; the road to it goes from Gorno-Altaysk to the r. Biya, to the village of Artybash located on the right bank. Teletskoye Lake is the largest in Altai. It stretches for 78 km with a width of 5 km, having depths of up to 325 m. The lake is framed by steep cliffs and inaccessible capes, overgrown with forest peaks. 71 rivers flow from the coastal mountains. On the lake, tourists make boat trips from the tourist base "Golden Lake" to the Altai nature reserve. Tourists are also interested in boat trips on the lake and walking along its shores. In addition to travel along the Chuysky tract and the roads branching from it, water routes by kayaks and rafts along the Biya River (from Artybash down to Biysk), along the Chulyshman River (to Lake Teletskoye), along the Chuya River (from the Chibit village) are of great importance in Gorny Altai. on the Chuisky tract to its mouth), etc. Horse routes along mountain valleys Altai and ski tours in winter. The Kulunda steppe, located in the southeast of the West Siberian Lowland, is rightfully called the "land of a thousand lakes", and it is the lakes that attract most tourists here. If you look widely (and in the steppe it is impossible to do otherwise), then the entire Kulunda lowland is one very big attraction. It is the lowest in Altai, the sunniest. The bottom of the ancient sea, strewn with lakes, bordered by unique, nowhere else on the planet, ribbon pine forests. And besides this, there is also a living illustration of the history of the country, those very virgin lands about which songs were composed throughout Russia in the last century. a) Kulundinskoe lake: many come to the depths of the steppes to see the "Altai Sea" - the largest lake in Altai, the Kulundinskoe lake, its water area is 728 sq. km. The lake is shallow, on average 2.5-3m, the water is slightly salted and very warm (summer temperatures +22 -25 C). Around the lake there is a typical steppe landscape, along the shores there are many convenient sandy beaches... There are great places for swimming and boating on anything from a regular boat to a jet ski. It is good to have a rest with children, the open shore and shallow water ensure safety, warm water and sun are a pleasure. The Kulunda River flows into the lake, where, with some patience and luck, you can catch a perch or pike. b) Borovoye lakes: in the south-west of the steppe, in the Kasmalinsky tape forest, there is a scattering of salty, bitter and fresh water bodies of the most different sizes and forms - Borovoe lakes. The largest of them is Crimson, so named because of the crimson hue of the water. In all salt and bitter lakes, water and mud have medicinal properties; it is convenient to rest near fresh water bodies. You can swim in all in turn, the lakes are shallow, there are many natural beaches. In the forest in the season, you can enjoy wild raspberries, bones, lingonberries or pick mushrooms. Healing waters of Borovoe lakes, life-giving air pine forest and the hot sun create ideal conditions for simultaneous relaxation and recovery. c) The Kolyvan ridge stretches in a latitudinal direction along the border of the Altai Territory and Kazakhstan. To the north and west of the ridge lie foothill plains, in the south - the low Kipishnye mountains, in the southeast stretches the valley of the Belaya River, behind which the Tigirek ridge rises. The average heights of the Kolyvan ridge are 500-1000 m, highest point - Mount Sinyukha (1210 m). Climbing Sinyukha (1210m) is a kind of ritual for the guests of Gornaya Kolyvan. This is a wonderful observation point, a convenient gentle path leads to the top, surrounded by picturesque rocky outcrops - "stone palaces". On the slopes of Sinyukha Lake Mokhovoe is located, a natural monument - a deep stone bowl with the purest water, at the foot of a cliff among a pine forest. You can climb Sinyukha only on foot - the ascent, although very simple, takes a whole day, but the beauty of the surrounding nature is more than worth the effort. It is curious that local landscapes are most often perceived as a series of separate, perfectly completed pictures: a rock, a lake, a glade in the forest ... And in contrast - a panoramic view from the top of Sinyukha. d) Lake Kolyvanskoe: a relatively small lake (length 4 km, width 2-3 km) is famous for its clear water, bizarre granite rocks scattered along the banks, and a unique water nut chilim. This plant is considered a relict preserved in some lakes of Altai from the pre-glacial period. This old resident of our places should be treated with respect. In order to make out the bizarre shape of a walnut, similar to a black imp, it is enough those specimens that the waves carried to coastal sand...

The dimensions of the lake are small (about 300 x 400 m), as if it is hidden among the surrounding mountain slopes. On one side, a rocky cliff drops into the water, on the other - a low bank is bordered by a tangle of trees and bushes. A small (20 x 6 m) island with several pine trees gives a special charm to the landscape. The bottom of the lake drops rapidly from the shores, the depth reaches 20 m or more; the water is clear 6-8 m deep. m) In the Zarinsky region, in the valley of the river.

Justification of the topic of the diploma
Tourist routes of Altai Territory
One of the activities of the Administration of the Altai Territory within the framework of the implementation of a long-term target program is the development of tourist routes that contribute to the popularization of existing and under construction tourist facilities, the redistribution of tourist flows across the Altai Territory and the consolidation of efforts of the regional authorities and the business community to expand the list of services provided to tourists and improving their quality.
One of the projects within the framework of this event was the creation of a branded tourist route "Small Golden Ring of Altai".
Figure 1.1 ¾ Scheme of the route "Small Golden Ring of Altai"
In just a few days, vacationers will be able to get acquainted with the beauty and diversity of the nature of the Altai Territory, its historical and cultural heritage, wonderful people. The route passes through two cities and four districts of the region. These are the cities of Biysk, Belokurikha, the regions of Biysk, Krasnogorsk, Altaysk and Smolensk. Its total length is 280 km, and, depending on the content of the excursion program, its passage takes from two to five days.
Considering the positive experience in the implementation of this project. The Governor of the Altai Territory set a more ambitious task - to develop a new tourist route that would show not only the beauty of the Altai mountains, but also amazing landscapes and objects of one of the largest plains in the world ¾ West Siberian.
The interregional transboundary tourist route “Big Golden Ring of Altai” became such a project.
The route runs along the southeastern part of the West Siberian Plain, as well as along the valleys and passes of the northern ranges of Altai and includes visits to four cities and 22 districts of the region.
The length of the route is about 1500 km.
¾ route "Big Golden Ring of Altai"; ¾ radial routes

The territory along which the route passes has an interesting history. In the middle of the 18th century, the Kolyvano-Kuznetsk defensive line was created here between neighboring defensive structures in order to protect against the raids of the militant Dzungars, its distance did not exceed forty versts. Military service was carried out by the Russian Cossacks. Until now, from the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk in Kazakhstan to the city of Novokuznetsk in the Kemerovo region and mainly in our southern part of the Altai Territory, the descendants of the Cossacks live and preserve their traditions.
Traveling along the "Big Golden Ring of Altai" allows you to visit not only these historical sites, but also make a trip to the Cossack settlements of Kuzbass and Kazakhstan. Taking into account also the fact that the route passes along a part of the Chuysky tract located on the territory of the Altai Republic, and the territory of the Talmensky district borders on Novosibirsk region, it is possible to rightfully assign the "Big Golden Ring of Altai" the status of an interregional transboundary tourist route.
The creation of an interregional cross-border tourist route in the Altai Territory is not only an important area of \u200b\u200btourism development, but also a large-scale project for the socio-economic development of municipalities in the Altai Territory.
All these events contribute to the creation of an attractive image of the region as the largest tourist territory in Russia, as well as the development of automobile service in the Altai Territory.
