On weekend catamaran trips on the Chusovaya, Ust'-Shalashnaya served as either the starting point or the destination, depending on the option. One route ran from Ust'-Shalashnaya to the Chusovskoy vodozabor; the other began in Verkhnechusovskie Gorodki and ended in Ust'-Shalashnaya. For your planning, it makes a difference whether you want to set off from here or arrive here. Check dates and availability before arranging your overnight stay around a particular tour.

In the Basegi Nature Reserve in the Perm Region, the excursion route “To the Summit of Northern Baseg” begins at the checkpoint by the Schastlivy ranger station.

The nature reserve’s visitor center includes a small museum exhibition on the flora and fauna of the Perm Region. Environmental education discussions, lectures, quizzes, and games featuring films or multimedia presentations are held there regularly. In addition to the route, the visitor center offers another way to explore nature-related topics: through an exhibition and recurring events.
Another option in the Perm Region is the year-round Gubakha resort in the city of Gubakha, on Mount Krestovaya. Seven groomed runs are open there, and there are also eleven slopes for freeriders. As these numbers may change, check the resort’s latest information before making plans.
Khokhlovka adds a cultural focus to the region’s destinations: it is the Urals’ first open-air architectural and ethnographic museum of wooden architecture. Alongside excursion routes and the resort, the Perm Region therefore also offers wooden architecture and ethnographic themes.
