History
Initially, Alibek was a camp for climbers, skiers and tourists. The first wooden houses appeared in the camp before the start of World War II [4] . During World War II, from August 1942 to January 1943, Dombay was occupied by German troops of the Edelweiss division. The headquarters of the division was located in the building of the hotel "Solar Valley", which was located 150 meters from the start of the road to the Alibek Gorge. It burned to the ground, for unknown reasons, on the night of May 6-7, 2016.
After the war, in 1946 the camp was rebuilt and became known as the Alibek camp. The camp passed many times "from hand to hand" and experienced fires, it was constantly restored and completed. In 1950, Burevestnik was handed over to the Central Administration.
From 1971 to 1973, the head of the camp was Eduard Nikolaevich Grekov . Thanks to a personal meeting with the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR Aleksei Nikolayevich Kosygin , who visited the alpine camp, he was able to restore the collapsed material facilities of the camp [5] .
