Belalakaya Mountain - one of the main attractions and the business card of the resort village of Dombay, towering over all Dombai glade. Belalakaya - the top of the western peak of the main ridge of the Greater Caucasus, which stretches up to 3861 m. East of the main summit, you can see the top Belalakaya Minor, whose height is 3740 meters.

Mountain "charmer" Belalakaya can be seen from almost anywhere in Dombai neighborhoods. On the north side it is very similar to Matternhorn. Of particular interest is the western wall of peaks up to 700 m length and a strikingly beautiful tysyachemetrovaya north-east wall.

In the world there are few clearly visible and large illustrations of ancient geological activity: on the mountain in late summer Belalakaya clearly visible large bright band in a dark monolith of rock. Millions of years ago in the depths of the Earth's interior that are now the Caucasus range in thickness formed of crystalline schists and gneisses intruded piece of molten magma, frozen in a mighty stone belt. After the gigantic forces raised from the depths of the subsoil plot of this crust, thus making plain to the mountains. Over millions of years of surface weathering processes were destroyed huge strata of rock, revealing the sight of people to cut the crust, now located at an altitude of 3 km.

Thanks to several layers of white quartz, a thickness of up to 50 m, which is very unusual and beautiful rock walls cut peak, this mountain peak is often called the "Striped Rock".

Belalakaya Mountain - one of the most beautiful peaks of the area dominates the entire Dombai glade. It is so beautiful that even some poets have dedicated her his poems and songs.
