Ala-Archa Natural Park is rich in sights. Here, at an altitude of 3400 m, in the realm of mountains and glaciers stands the Ratsek Hut. Ratsek's hut is known to everyone in the world of mountaineering: for a long time and to this day it has been a resting place on the road to the Ak-Sai glacier. Previously, the hut was the only stone building in the area. At the moment, there is a climbing camp here, where a beginner has a chance to take climbing lessons and equipment for rent. The place is very convenient for setting up a tent and camping. The most interesting routes and tracks are built through the Ratseka hut. The nearest peaks available for climbing are Semenov-Tyanshansky peak (4875m), Kron peak and the smallest of them - Baichechekey (4515m). The food supply can be replenished here in the climbers' camp, and water can be taken from the purest glacial waterfall. Mountain lovers from all over the world flock here, and there is a chance to find like-minded people and make interesting acquaintances.
