Mount Sobolinaya Ski Resort

Гора Соболиная

A ski resort next to the small town of Baikalsk, with slopes facing Lake Baikal. It is one of the most popular ski destinations in Siberia.

Mount Sobolinaya is on the southern shore of Lake Baikal near Baikalsk. Its long snow season and fine powder make it a favorite for skiers. It has several runs of varying difficulty and a chairlift, and you can look out over the frozen lake while skiing. There are holiday hotels and equipment rental at the base. The chairlift runs in summer too, letting you ride up for lake views and hike from the top. It is about 2.5 hours' drive from Irkutsk, or you can take a Trans-Siberian train to Baikalsk Station.
