Belaya Mountain, Mountain summit in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia.
Belaya Mountain is a 715 meter peak in the Urals with limestone cliffs and rocky slopes that define its appearance. The summit sits within the broader mountain system and offers varied terrain from base to top.
The mountain forms part of the Ural range, which has served as a natural boundary between Europe and Asia for many centuries. This geographic role has shaped settlement and trade patterns in the region.
The mountain serves as a landmark in local traditions and draws visitors who come to experience the natural surroundings on foot. People from nearby communities have long used this place as a meeting point for outdoor activities.
The mountain can be reached via marked trails that are accessible throughout the year, though conditions change with the seasons. Summer offers the most comfortable hiking conditions with dry paths, while winter brings snow and a different type of challenge.
The name translates to White Mountain in Russian, referring to the pale limestone cliffs that cover much of the peak. These light-colored rocks stand out against the surrounding forest and give the mountain its distinctive appearance from a distance.
