Avachinskaya Sopka (Avacha or Gorelaya Sopka) is one of the most accessible active volcanoes in Kamchatka. The height is 2741 m. The last eruption occurred on October 5, 2001, after which a lava plug appeared in the crater, letting in warm steam. The volcano attracts with its location and convenient ascent.
The volcano is located just 25 kilometers from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The ascent to the top takes only 5 hours along a comfortable and fairly gentle path. The most difficult thing is to move directly in the cone – the abundance of loose slag makes it difficult to move. No special equipment is required in the summer. From the top there is a magnificent view of the Koryaksky Sopka volcano.
