Discover the Perm Region

The Perm Region offers a wide range of travel themes to choose from: the Basegi Nature Reserve has an excursion route to Northern Baseg and a visitor center devoted to the region’s flora and fauna. The slopes and freeride areas of Mount Krestovaya are the main attraction in Gubakha, while Khokhlovka focuses on wooden architecture. If you’re looking for a vacation rental, start by deciding what kind of stay you want: should your trip be centered on an excursion, mountain activities, or culture?

An excursion in the Basegi Nature Reserve

The “To the Summit of Northern Baseg” route is 11 km long. The excursion takes five to eight hours, including the guided tour and rest breaks, so set aside a large part of the day. The trail starts at the checkpoint near the Schastlivy ranger station and continues on foot for 3,700 meters through taiga forest (the mountain forest zone), followed by about 300 meters across mountain meadows. The excursion therefore combines a set time commitment with varied landscapes. The excursion season runs from June to October. Check arrangements for your travel year with the reserve in advance.

The Basegi Nature Reserve visitor center is located in the administrative building and includes a small museum exhibition on the flora and fauna of the Perm Region. Environmental education discussions, lectures, quizzes, and games featuring films or multimedia presentations are held there regularly. These activities differ from the several-hour route: the focus here is on the exhibition and regular educational programs. When planning, you can choose between a guided excursion and a nature-focused visit to the visitor center.

Ski slopes and freeride in Gubakha

The year-round Gubakha resort is located in the city of Gubakha, on Mount Krestovaya. It has seven groomed ski runs and eleven freeride slopes. Together, the ski runs and freeride slopes offer a distinct focus for activities, different from the excursion route in Basegi. The number of runs and slopes may change, so check with the resort for the latest information before your trip. If mountain activities are to be the focus of your stay, Gubakha provides a specific location to guide your vacation rental search.

Wooden architecture in Khokhlovka

Khokhlovka, in Permsky District, is home to the Urals’ first open-air architectural and ethnographic museum of wooden architecture. The museum offers a distinct cultural focus alongside the region’s nature and mountain activities. Khokhlovka is a destination in its own right for travelers with a particular interest in wooden architecture. The region thus offers a choice of interests without requiring nature, mountain activities, and culture to be combined into a single trip focus.

Choose a focus for your accommodation search

When looking for a vacation rental, you can first decide what experience you want to shape your stay. For an excursion in Basegi, planning involves the June-to-October season and coordinating with the reserve. Gubakha is the specific location to consider for a resort-focused stay; if you’re interested in wooden architecture, Khokhlovka is the place to look. Base your search location on what matters most to your trip. This connects your accommodation choice with the kind of travel experience you want—whether you plan to spend most of your time on a guided route, enjoying mountain activities, or exploring a cultural theme.
