Belukha Mountain (Russian: Белуха, lit. 'whitey'; Altay: Ӱч-Сӱмер, Üç-Sümer, lit. 'three peaks'; Kazakh: Мұзтау Шыңы, Mūztau Şyñy, lit. 'icemount peak'), located in the Katun Mountains, is the highest peak of the Altai Mountains in Russia and the highest of the system of the South Siberian Mountains.[2] It is part of the Golden Mountains of Altai World Heritage Site.[3]
Since 2008, one is required to apply for a special border zone permit in order to be allowed into the area (if travelling independently without using an agency). Foreigners should apply for the permit to their regional FSB border guard office two months before the planned date.[4][5]
