The Great Valdai Trail from November 9 will plunge into winter hibernation

The press service of the Valdaisky National Park warned tourists that the Great Valdai Trail will stop working from today. Together with it, all base camps, a suspension bridge, a health trail for people with disabilities, a tourist information center and an observation tower on Ryzokha Mountain are closed.

The closure is due to the fact that hiking on the trail in the cold season is unsafe. The Great Valdai Trail traditionally closes for winter in the first half of November and reopens in late April – early May.

This year, the Northern section of the Great Valdai Trail has become longer by 25 kilometers.
