How to find good hikes in Russian Altai?

0 votes
HI everyone,
I am a french student who's been staying in novosibirsk for about 4 month now. Soon I will have a 3 weeks vacation before the end of my visa and I would like to spend a few days (up to a week) in Altai, hiking.
Now I am a quite experienced mountain hiker  so I am aware of all the safety issues and precautions ( which I research).
My problem at the moment is I can't really find good hikes to undertake on the internet. Bearing in mind, I am only researching english written website as my russian is still very limited.
So the question is : How can I find good hike tracks and maps so i can go backpacking for a few days in altai this summer? Or can you advise some to me ?
Anyway, I would welcome any advice!

Thanks in advance
