The quieter Teletskoye north shore near Artybash — taiga, water, and boat trips without central bustle.

Region: Altai RepublicCoordinates: 51°35′N 87°40′E

Teletskoye North Shore

Teletskoye's north shore runs through taiga from Artybash and Iogach — fewer large hotels than the south, more sense of deep lake and forest. Water is cold and clear; mountain tributaries shift colour at their mouths. Boats and fishing are popular but wind and park rules matter on the water. Shores mix rock and sand; infrastructure is private and seasonal. Not a wild reserve, not a city beach. Suited to visitors who know Teletskoye and want a quieter day by the water or a motorboat to tributary falls. July mosquitoes are strong; open-water wind rises after noon — plan morning trips.

How to get there

To north-shore villages by road from Turochak; along the water on foot or by boat.

Best season

June–September for boats and shore walks
