Peak
Ratsek Cabin
Chuy Region • Kyrgyzstan • 3380 m
Ratsek Hut is located on the moraines of Ak-Saï Glacier (confluence gorge east of Ala-Archa Gorge) at an altitude of 3383 meters. Vladimir Razek (1918-1980) launched its construction at the end of the 1930s when he headed the Kyrgyz Alpine Club.
To reach the hut, you have to go to the alpine center of Ala Archa, then a very steep trail of 9km goes up to the Ak-Say glacier. En route, you can observe a waterfall. It takes 3 to 4 hours of walking to reach the hut. The hut and its surrounding camping places is a good base camp for mountaineers, but also for trekkers who would like to climb the Uchitel peak.
