Route description

These are three separate Ergaki mountain sections, which do not establish a continuous lake circuit. The first starts beside Raduzhnoye Lake, reaches Golova Pass and crosses Intermediate Pass and Artists Pass 1 to an eastern mountain ending. A short middle section lies on the pass side of the massif. The third starts again at Golova Pass, crosses Sleeping Sayan Pass towards Lazurnoye Lake’s shore and continues through Taigish Pass 2. The final section ends above Artists Lake before its shore. Karovoye Lake belongs to another extension and is also excluded. Agree access to each section, missing connections and return separately. The park lists high pass directions among routes requiring special accompaniment; agree the specific variant and preparation with its administration.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Without a car - Hard With children - No With a dog - No By bike - No With a stroller - No Mobile signal - No data Mountain experience, steady footing on stones and agreed special accompaniment are required. Avoid planning a full passage around missing connections. The park prohibits domestic animals during spring and summer.

Nearby

Artists Lake lies below the final ending, while Karovoye Lake needs another extension. Hanging Stone and the Sleeping Sayan rock massif are distinct from pass saddles with similar names. Tents are prohibited within the hundred-metre shoreline zone; overnight visits require approved sites under park rules.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainСуммарный набор высоты — 584 м.
SurfaceDirt 2%, Unknown 98%.
Риски High passes, block fields and hillside traverses need mountain assessment and steady movement. A mountain team’s report describes Artists Pass 1 as a graded technical pass, making an easy walking assessment unsuitable. A qualified accompanying person should assess rocky passages, snow and path conditions. Missing section connections do not establish a direct hillside descent.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 3 h 40 min
С запасом на остановки + 30–60 мин
The complete duration of this separate-section variant is unconfirmed. Plan each part together with actual access, return and accompaniment time. A standard excursion circuit to other lakes does not establish timing here; an overnight place is unconfirmed.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
Choose dry snow-free high passes, a favourable forecast and substantial daylight. Remaining snow, ice, fog and wind require separate assessment. Year-round park visiting does not establish safe winter mountain passage.
