The Altai Republic, a federal subject of Russia with Gorno-Altaysk as its capital, is renowned for its rugged mountainous terrain. The Altai Mountains, dominating a significant portion of the region, boast the highest peak in Siberia, Belukha Mount, standing at about 4,506 meters. Notable attractions include Teletskoye Lake, Altai and other reserves, Plateau Ukok, caves, mounds, and the Ulalinskaya Paleolithic site—an ancient location of primitive human activity. The expansive Altai State Reserve, covering approximately 9,000 square kilometers, is one of Russia's largest reserves. Around 25% of the republic's territory has earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Renowned for its picturesque landscape, this mountainous region is often referred to as the "Russian Tibet."

The coat of arms of the Altai Republic is a blue circle bordered by a narrow strip of golden color, symbolizing the eternal blue sky of Altai. Within the blue circle, the top section depicts the three-headed summit of one of Central Asia's highest mountains, Belukha (Yuch Syumera), representing the beauty and power of the native land. In the center, a white griffin named Kan-Kerede with the head and golden wings of a bird and the body of a lion is featured. The griffin embodies the sacred sun bird, safeguarding the peace, happiness, wealth, and nature of the homeland. The lower part of the circle showcases an ornamental depiction of Altai's two largest rivers, Biya and Katun, along with their tributaries. A trident in golden color between them symbolizes home, representing the homeland's strength and enduring nature. The wavy lines beneath the trident symbolize Lake Teletskoye (Altyn-Kyol). The ornamental depiction of rivers and Lake Teletskoye is in turquoise-emerald color.
