The permanent exhibition is devoted to the natural features of the Basegi Nature Reserve. Its regular environmental education program complements the exhibition with discussions, lectures, quizzes, and games featuring films and multimedia presentations. Topics include animals and plants, protected areas in Russia and around the world, and the Basegi Nature Reserve itself.

The center therefore focuses on both an exhibition and a range of events. Check with the reserve in advance to find out what arrangements apply to a visit. The information center is located in the administrative building at 100 Lenin Street in Gremyachinsk. A guided tour is also listed there for 2026.

The summer list for 2026 names two routes accompanied by reserve staff. “To Northern Basegi” is 11 kilometers long and listed as taking eight hours; “To Southern Basegi” covers 8 kilometers and takes six hours. The two options therefore differ by three kilometers and two hours. These figures help compare the stated time commitment, but do not indicate the level of difficulty.

The service list also includes accompanied winter excursions: “To Northern Basegi,” covering 8 kilometers, and another route covering 12 kilometers, each lasting eight hours. This makes it possible to compare the listed winter routes by distance; the duration is the same for both. It is advisable to check the current arrangements with the reserve before planning.

The routes complement the visitor center’s offerings, but they are not descriptions of a walking tour of Gremyachinsk. When choosing, the relevant factors are the respective distances and durations, as well as the season specified. The summer excursions and winter options are listed separately, so plan for them as distinct seasonal possibilities.

The wider destination of Perm Krai offers other distinct points of interest. At the Basegi Nature Reserve, the “To the Summit of Northern Basegi” route starts on foot at the checkpoint by the Schastlivy ranger post, first covering 3,700 meters through taiga forest and then about 300 meters across mountain meadows. The excursion season runs from June to October. The route is listed as taking five to eight hours, including the guided tour and rest breaks.

This is a different time frame from that of the winter routes listed near Gremyachinsk, each of which is said to take eight hours. For the route in Perm Krai, the time estimate explicitly includes the guided tour and rest breaks. If you plan to include this regional option in your itinerary, check the current arrangements with the reserve in advance.

Another distinct cultural attraction in Perm Krai is Khokhlovka: it is the Urals’ first open-air architectural and ethnographic museum of wooden architecture. The region therefore offers nature experiences and wooden architecture as different options, without requiring them to be combined into one trip.
