The Kemerovo region is often considered synonymous with the mines of the Kuzbass district. However, south of the industrial mayhem, the Gornaya Shoriya Mountains are locally considered a ‘little Switzerland’. While this may be overstating things, there’s a popular skiing area at Sheregesh (www.sheregesh.ru), 25km from the railhead at Tashtagol. A very adventurous trek takes mountaineers over a tough trail to Turochak in Altai.
Visiting Novokuznetsk is a vastly less daring proposition. The Kemerovo region’s biggest city, it makes a handy stop between Abakan and Biysk when overlanding between Altai and Tuva.
