Baikal Museum
Байкальский музей
At the former Limnological Institute, this museum describes many aspects of the lake in a scientific manner. There's information and statistics about the flora, fauna and geology, but also aquariums with seals and other sea life, a model of an icebreaker, the Paisis-11 - a submersible that has been used for lake exploration and a simulator where visitors can experience a dive with that submersible.
400 ₽, diving simulation has a separate fee

Eastland ski resort
Горнолыжный комплекс «Истлэнд»
Yes, in the winter you can ski downhill in Listvyanka, at Eastland - the Cyrillic name really reads "Istlend". This is small and simple ski resort, in the summer the chairlift can be used to access the Chersky's rock (see above). For serious downhill skiing, head to the slopes above Baikalsk, at the southern shore of the lake.

Cherskov's rock
Камень Черского
Viewpoint, 270 m above the lake with great views of the surroundings. If you have a car, drive to the Eastland ski resort and hike (15-20 minutes) or take the chairlift (400 ₽, 2021) up. Without a car, walk for 2.2 km from the Baikal museum to get to the same ski resort. As it's easily accessible, in the summer it's often as crowded as Listvyanka downtown.
