The SPSO of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia said that the department's rescuers helped a visitor from Yekaterinburg, who together with his 17-year-old son decided to go hiking along the Aibga Ridge, to get down from a mountain near Sochi. Vacationers climbed to an altitude of 1500 meters, but could not get back and called the Emergency Situations Ministry.

The tourists were going to go to the Blueberry Trail, which is located in the Sochi National Park. But because they decided to take a shortcut, they got lost and came to a steep slope, from which they could not descend on their own. Rescuers took them to the territory of “Krasnaya Polyana”, and from there took them to the city.

Earlier it was reported that Russians have become more likely to buy tours that include various excursions.

In some regions of the country, the popularity of glamping has grown several times.
