Hotel Tau Tash Abzakovo

The nature of Bashkortostan is very diverse, there are mixed forests and herbs, rocky mountains and reservoirs, as well as the area is famous for its continental climate with moderately cold winters. In this amazing landscape very harmoniously fit the hotel “Tau-Tash”. It offers comfortable rooms with a cosy atmosphere and easy to combine with outdoor activities.

Hotel Location

“Tau-Tash” from Bashkir is translated as the stone of the mountain. And this name really corresponds to the appearance of the hotel: the buildings are decorated with stone tiles, and along the entire territory there is a stone fence with wrought iron decorations. Such a hotel is visible from afar.

“Tau-Tash” is one of the first hotel complexes built on the territory of the ski resort Abzakovo,which is located near the Chelyabinsk region, 30 kilometers from the city of Beloretsk and 60 from Magnitogorsk. It is one of the hotels that are located closest to the sports center “Abzakovo”.

We come to Abzakovo not for the first time, but it was in this hotel that we checked in for the first time. The rooms are budget, without much frills, but after an active day in the mountains you need only a warm shower and bed. Separately, I want to say about the service: a very comfortable barbecue area, excellent breakfasts and, in principle, the restaurant itself, and most importantly, very friendly staff. But most of all, of course, I liked the sauna with a swimming pool and a karaoke bar. The whole family was very satisfied, I recommend!
