Ivanovskiye lakes



The paradise for freeride lovers in Siberia

The Ivanovskiye Lakes are located on the eastern slopes of the Kuznetsky Alatau, between the Bobrovaya and Ararat peaks. They take their name from a well-known Siberian gold manufacturer, Ivanitsky, who had a gold mining business in the area.

The Ivanovskiye Lakes are four lakes of karst origin. The upper lake is connected to the lower lake by a forty-meter waterfall. The lakes are surrounded with snow fields that do not melt even in summer, alpine meadows, mountain streams, and waterfalls.

In the summer, the Ivanovskiye Lakes attract hikers to the mountain slopes. People forage for mushrooms and berries here and even go fishing. In winter, extreme sports lovers come here to descend the mountain slopes near the lakes.

En la escuela My Russian School in Siberia, de Krasnoyarsk, pasé un curso intensivo de lengua rusa de un mes de duración. A pesar de que no tengo facilidad para los idiomas tuve un gran avance tanto en gramática como en conversación gracias a mi excelente profesora (Lisa) y a la dirección de la escuela, que se ocupó también  de organizar visitas a los museos de la ciudad, teatros, concieros, excursiones, etc.

Estuve alojado en casa de una familia rusa, que me ayudó también a aprender a conversar.

¿Por qué elegí la escuela en la ciudad siberana de Krasnoyarsk? Lo habitual es estudiar ruso en Moscú o en San Petersburgo que, ciertamente, son ciudades extraordinarias …Pero las ciudades de Siberia, con no ser pequeñas, tienen algo que no se encuentra en una gran ciudad. En primer lugar, la extraordinaria calidez de sus habitantes y su amabilidad. En Krasnoyarsk se puede descubrir la cultura siberiana, tan desconocida en Europa, visitar sus deliciosos museos de cultura local, asistir a teatros y a los numerosos concieros que se celebran en la ciudad, pasear por el hermoso centro de la ciudad, navegar por el gran río Yenisey (el 5º más largo del mundo), practicar trekking o esquiar en el parque nacional de Stalby…

No quiero olvidarme de sus deliciosos restaurantes, desde los más sencillos de comida rápida a los excelentes restaurantes de la ciudad, muchos de ellos de cocina internacional: china, italiana, americana, caucásica, japonesa, mongola, tártara, etc.

En fin, recomiendo vivamente la escuela My Russian School in Siberia, en Krasnoyarsk, para aquellos estudiantes que se sientan atraídos por conocer lugares sorprendentes y agradables.
