A tourist cluster with a ski complex, an ethnopark and hotels is being created in the Polar Urals

The tourist cluster in the Yamal Nature Park "Ingilor" will include a ski complex in the Polar Urals, the recreational complex "Harbey", the international scientific station "Snowflake", as well as unique natural places - lakes Bolshoe Shchuchye and Hadatayeganlor, ice Age park. Plans for the development of the tourism cluster were discussed at a meeting held by the Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YANAO) Dmitry Artyukhov.

"The concession agreement for the construction of the ski complex has already been concluded. By 2026, the investor will create on the territory of up to 19 km of trails, three- and four-star hotels with 320 rooms, a conference center, restaurants, SPA and bath complexes, as well as leisure facilities: an ice rink, an ethnopark, a zipline," a message on the YANAO government website says following the meeting.

The Harbei complex will be the first to start working. It includes a hotel with 35 rooms that can accommodate 70 people at a time, a restaurant and a bar, a sauna complex, a conference hall, a bistro, barbecue areas for travelers. Tourists will also be able to rent snowmobiles, buggies, ATVs, go rafting or to the mountains.

"The climate of the Polar Urals will allow for a long ski season — from October to June," the government of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District noted.
