Such a phrase, heard for the first time, causes slight bewilderment among the geographically educated population of the post-Soviet space: where is Yakutia and where is Belarus. Yes, and Yakutia is not a mountain at all, but an endless tundra, like Belarus is a flat country.
But in Polissya there are many hills, slopes, valleys, which are being actively transformed into comfortable recreation areas that satisfy various preferences in organizing recreation. And among such places are the Yakutsk mountains, named after the village of Yakuta, which is located 38 kilometers from Minsk. The dominant position here is rightfully occupied by Mount Dzerzhinskaya - the highest point of flat Belarus.
Mountain Peaks
Mount Dzerzhinskaya and the entire hilly area around are equipped for winter recreation: skiing, snowboarding, climbing to the top on snowmobiles. The only ski slope - the main attraction of the complex - has a length of about five hundred meters and a height difference of 60 meters. In addition, there is a 400-meter long snowboarding track in the park.
The modern system of artificial snowmaking allows the use of ski slopes until April, and the latest equipment for processingslopes - keep them in excellent condition throughout the season. Both trails are illuminated at night and are equipped with rope tows. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, in the territory of the Yakutsk Mountains Park, there is an opportunity to ride tubing on one of the slopes, climb to the top on a snowmobile or ride it across the plain. For those new to winter outdoor activities in the mountains, there are schools where professional instructors help to gain confidence in mastering skiing and snowboarding, instilling forever a love of dizzying flights on the slopes of the mountains, as well as gain skills in using snowmobiles.
