Olkhon, located near the northwest shore, is the largest of the 22 islands in Lake Baikal (71 km long, 15 km wide). It is located at the deepest point (1,620 m). The island is an inexhaustible source of joy for tourists: unspoiled nature, bright colours (especially in autumn) and a variety of exhilarating landscapes. You sail between the steppe, the oceanic sandy bays, the deep taiga, so Siberian, the steep reliefs, the creeks with clear Mediterranean waters... The island of Olkhon began to open in the early 2000s, when it was connected to electricity. Since then, an overwhelming majority of the population, year-round or seasonal residents, derive their income from tourism.
