The landscapes of the Achishkho ridge are characterized by ancient glacial landforms and ridge lakes (including karst). On the slopes there is a cascading Achipsinsky (in the upper reaches of the Achips river) waterfall. The ridge is located in a zone of humid climate - the annual rainfall is up to 3200 mm, the largest in Russia. The thickness of the stable snow cover reaches 4.8 m. The number of sunny days does not exceed 60–70 days a year.
