Alagir, town in Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, Russia

Alagir is a town in North Ossetia-Alania located in the Caucasus mountains in a river valley. The settlement spreads across a narrow valley floor with residential and administrative buildings of varying heights, framed by forested mountain slopes that rise sharply on both sides.

Alagir developed as a mining town when industrial activity expanded into the Caucasus region, becoming a center for lead and other mineral extraction. This mining heritage shaped the town's growth and remains visible in its built environment and economic foundation.

Most of the town can be navigated on foot since it sits in a confined valley, though local transportation is available for longer distances. Mountain weather here can change quickly, so bring layers and check conditions before heading out, especially in colder months.
