Yarovoye (Russian: Ярово́е) is a town in Altai Krai, Russia, located on the north shore of lake Bolshoye Yarovoye, 402 kilometers (250 mi) west of Barnaul, the administrative center of the krai.
Yarovoye is a popular resort that welcomes around 2 million people per summer season (June-August).
The city gained popularity in the 1980s, even before "Prichal" came to build the tourist infrastructure.
The Salt Lake "Big Yarovoye" is the main benefit of the city.
Tourists come to breathe the healthy air, float on top of the water and walk on the healing black dirt that lies underground of the lake.
