Araukhokh, Mountain summit in North Ossetia-Alania, Russia.

Araukhokh is a summit in North Ossetia-Alania with steep slopes and rocky terrain forming its main features. The peak rises prominently within the mountain range of this region.

The summit has served as a natural boundary marker between communities since medieval times. This geographic role historically shaped local pathways and connections across the region.

Local stories describe this peak as a place connected to mountain folklore and traditional knowledge passed through generations. The summit remains important in how communities understand their mountain landscape.

Climbing this summit requires specialized equipment and local permits, with the best climbing season from June through September. Visitors planning an ascent should prepare for challenging mountain terrain and variable weather.
