Volcano Alaid is the highest mountain in the Sakhalin Region; in the modern Russian literature it was chosen as the scene in the Strugatsky brothers' science fiction novel "The White Cone of Alaid" Of course, this place is fantastic even without any novels - one such journey will leave you with the impressions and memories for whole your life!

Climb of the volcano Kluchevskaya Sopka is not particularly  difficult technically - the complexity of the program is different. This hard and challeging, climb of Kluchevskaya sopka can be compared to climbing of seventhousanders - extremely hard and long ascent, inability to get a preliminary acclimatization - these factors are the main challenges for the ascension of Kluchevskaya Sopka. In addition, it should be remembered that Kluchevskaya Sopka - is an active volcano, which erupted constantly - in the scientific sense of that - only lava flows from it not every year. In that too, there is a certain specifics of the program - in the event of an unforeseen increase the activity of volcano climbing may not take place for objective reasons. There were cases when the climbing of Kluchevskaya was not possible even in the case of a small activation of volcanic processes - temperature of the cone of volcano rises and because of that begins a continuous rockfall. In other words, getting ready for the ascent to Kluchevskaya Sopka, we must be prepared for any eventuality - that's Kamchatka.

Easy ascent to the summit of a volcanic dome, situated between gigantic cone of Klyuchevskaya sopka and massif of Krestovsky volcano. The ascent does not present any technical difficulty, it can be added to the tour program in Kamchatka as the active entertainment element. From the top of the volcano Middle you can enjoy the superb views of the entire Kluchevskaya group of the volcanoes, Kluchevskaya sopka and and Kamen, as well as the Erman glacier and the upper plateau.

An easy ascent to the Avacha volcano located near Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky. The ascent route of Avacha volcano is not difficult as the mountaineering route, the height of volcano is less than 3000 meters - the factor of lack of oxygen at this level normally is not felt yet. Climbing Avachisky volcano can be recommended as a warm-up or recreational climb - in good weather from the top of Avacha volcano you can get beautiful views of the nearby volcano Koryaksky, Petropavlovsk and Avacha Bay.

Not far from the main city of Kamchatka - Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky, there are two volcanoes, which are traditionally called "home volcanoes". These names are Koryak and Avacha and they are the first two volcanoes, which meet any visitor of Kamchatka - the plane arriving to Kamchatka flies over them before landing. If Avacha - is an accessible and friendly volcano, which every person can climb if not lazy, the Koryak volcano – that is a totally different story. According its view, it is difficult to say how hard is that, but in fact – Koryak volcano is quite serious mountaineering object. All climbing routes of the Koryak volcano have quite serious climbing categories. Climbing Koryak volcano can be considered as a complete program and for attempting this volcano you need all the necessary experience, good physical condition and good luck.

Exclusive! Climbing volcano Kamen in Kamchatka, which is located in the Kluchevskaya volcano group occupies a special place in our collections of Kamchatka volcano ascents.

Climbing volcano Krestovsky in Kamchatka, or as it is also called - Flat Middle volcano is a program of the initial level of complexity that can significantly diversify the whole climbing program in Kamchatka. Generally, climbing the volcano Krestovsky can be included in the program along with the ascent of the nearby volcano Kluchevskaya sopka - but should be careful not to overestimate your climbing potential - despite the relatively low height, the volcano Krestovsky can be quite serious climbing object! The main bonus of climbing the volcano Krestovsky - is the incredible views from its summit of all the Klyuchevskaya volcano group and that iis almost perfect panoramic view.

 Beautiful and easy trekking program in Kamchatka, walking non-climbing route to the foot of the highest volcanoes of the peninsula, river rafting in Kamchatka river and many bright, exciting and happy moments, which you can experience only here, in the country of ice and fire, in the most incredible and the short Kamchatka season - autumn. Despite the technical simplicity of the route and the absence of the climbing activities in this program, the trekking route supposes that the participants have the basic tourist experience – as we will have to spend nights in the tents, cook for ourselves, and the weight of the backpack for a few days will please your own back.

 For description of this program, it is strange even to use the word "climbing" and "summit". The fact that they climbed some mountain, the participants of this program realize only when they see the sign which marks the top of the highest mountain of the whole continent, or saying more simply - just one of the many flat hills, which has no difference from the surrounding hills. Climbing to the top of Kosciuszko – that is a good day trip, not decorated with any special difficulties. Walking trail is marked just from the car park, and leads up to the top of Kosciuszko. This trek perfectly complements the overall travel program in Australia, regardless of the main program theme.
