Lake Svetloye to Pikantny Pass

Route description

The point-to-point hiking route “Lake Svetloye to Pikantny Pass” is approximately 4.7 km long. The route combines mountain terrain with lake sections; exposed ground can be affected by wind, fog and rapid weather changes. The start and finish are in different places, so return travel must be planned in advance. The line comes from an OpenStreetMap route relation and is not evidence of a recent field check. Compare the GPX with a current map, forecast and local access rules before setting out

Getting there

Without a car

The GPX begins at 52.829164, 93.426024. Stop names and timetables are not established by the GPX, so select the nearest permitted approach using a current map. The finish is at 52.797754, 93.421853. Check return transport or arrange a transfer between the two ends in advance.

By car

Use 52.829164, 93.426024 to investigate access, but first confirm that a permitted road reaches the area. Do not drive along the track line itself: it may follow a footpath, ski trail, private road or closed land. Check the final approach, bridges, barriers and seasonal restrictions shortly before travel.

Parking

The source data does not identify a confirmed official car park at the start. Use a permitted area away from the carriageway, do not block gates or service access, and check whether the vehicle may remain for the required period.

Difficult sections and safety

Mountain hazards include fog, thunderstorms, sudden cold, scree and lingering snow; turn back if conditions deteriorate. This is a point-to-point route: failed transport at the finish can turn it into an unplanned extension. Download an offline map, share the plan and check-in time, and do not continue when time is running short or weather is worsening.

How much time to allow

No reliable duration has been calculated because the GPX lacks a complete elevation profile or technical-obstacle data. The line is approximately 4.7 km long; use a current route description and recent reports to plan the schedule.

Best time to go

For most mountain routes, the most predictable period is after the main snowmelt and before persistent autumn frost. Snow, high water, storms and closures may still occur in summer.

Check passes, rivers, roads and current protected-area rules before departure.
