Kvarkush, Protected mountain range in Perm Krai, Russia

The Kvarkush mountain range extends 60 kilometers from north to south between the Uls River and the upper Yayva River in the North Ural region.

The name Kvarkush originates from Mansi language, meaning unforested Ural, referring to the absence of trees above 1000 meters elevation in this area.

The indigenous Mansi people, formerly known as Voguly by Russians, influenced the naming of the mountain range and its highest peak, Vogulsky Kamen.

The mountain range accommodates hiking tours from May through October, with expeditions starting from Solikamsk and lasting approximately eleven days.

Mountain bogs across Kvarkush emit sweet fragrances and support populations of bears and reindeers that demonstrate minimal fear toward human presence.

Elevation above the sea: 1,066 m

Part of: Ural Mountains

GPS coordinates: 60.20167,58.72500
