Ice Festival on the Lake Khuvsgul. Vast areas of Lake Khuvsgul have remained basically untouched due to its rough terrain. Gorgeous mountain ranges bound the lake from all sides. The most impressive of all are the Sayan Mountains that are located south from Lake Khuvsgul with Khoridol Saridag mount being the utmost summit in the whole north region. It stands right on the Mongolian and Russian border overlooking both countries from the height of 3491 m. This is the world of glaciers, stormy winds and fascinating landscape.

In February for just 2 weeks the trails leading to Khoridol Saridag becomes crowded with tens of tourists. Both newcomers and winter sport funs come here every year to explore the glaciers, to meet friends and sing songs round the camp fire.

In February, Khuvsgul Lake - ice festival will take place in Khatgal village and on Lake Khuvsgul shores. The festival will provide boundless opportunities for Lake Khuvsgul visitors to enjoy winter sports and outdoor activities including downhill and cross-country skiing, ice-fishing contests, etc. Khuvsgul can be as cold as -30°C at night in Feb. Thermal protection is essential, especially for feet, fingers and face. Also, UV protecting sunglasses are required for eye protection. The ice of the lake is min. 2m thick and can hold a car or even a large lorry easily.
