Historical background
Legends say that in 1927, a passionate lover of tourism, Vladimir Shemelev, discovered the site of the future Golden Lake tourist complex when he was looking for a parking lot and compiled a route map for guests from the capital and Novosibirsk. He prepared the glades and found the future staff from the localresidents. A couple of days later, the first tourists came here.
A year later, the base is already known as the official tent camp for groups sent to the Altai Mountains by the Russian Tourism Society.
By the start of construction, the complex shifted slightly to the east, closer to Artybash.
In 1937 the tourist complex was called "Artybashevsky Tourist House".
