The Rosa Khutor Ski Resort is a legacy of the XXII Winter Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi. Every year the resort "Rosa Khutor" only increases its popularity among tourists. Now Sochi attracts not only beach holiday in the summer season, but the opportunity to try out the snowy mountain slopes of the Caucasus, skiing or snowboarding in the winter season. The Rosa Khutor ski resort is currently the largest in Russia. This is the only place in the country where you can hold competitions in all types of skiing, snowboarding and freestyle.

All resort facilities are located on the slopes of the Aibga ridge: northern and southern. From the "Rose Valley" from the mark of 560 meters from sea level to the mark of 2320 meters "Rose Peak" were built cable cars. Modern lifts manufactured by industry leaders Doppelmayr and Leither-Poma operate year-round at the resort's guests. In total, the Rosa Khutor resort has 28 ski lifts, providing a daily throughput of tens of thousands of people. All types of lifts are presented here: gondola, chairlifts, conveyor and rope tows.

At an altitude of 1150 meters on the "Rose Plateau" there are 8 more hotels. It was on the "Rose Plateau" that the Olympic Village was located, where athletes lived during the 2014 Winter Olympics. After the Olympics, all buildings were converted into hotels and hostels, where anyone can stay today.

rental

Rosa Khutor Resort has official ski and snowboard equipment rentals. In them you can always pick up equipment for any level of skiing: from amateur to professional. At the rental point, you can also rent full equipment: jacket, pants, helmet, mask, gloves and other accessories.

Ski pass - a single electronic ticket for the lifts

Rosa Khutor resort has a single e-ticket for all lifts - ski pass. In the winter season, the resort offers several types of ski passes: family, children, group, individual, as well as seasonal and annual for adults and children.

Most tourists choose to purchase a one-day or multi-day ski pass. And this is logical if you came to ride for a short time. A one-day ski pass, as well as a multi-day one, gives you the opportunity to ski from 8:30 to 17:00 on all open slopes of the Rosa Khutor resort and, of course, use all working cable cars. If this is not enough for you, then it is worth paying extra for evening skiing and continuing down the slope under the starry sky. But do not forget about the time of the last lift on the cable car for the final descent.




There are offers for frequent guests of the resort - these are seasonal and annual ski passes. Such ski passes are personal cards with a photo of the owner and include day and evening skiing. The seasonal ski pass is valid from the beginning of the winter season until its end. The term of the annual ski pass lasts from the beginning of the winter season until the end of the next summer season and includes the possibility of using the bike pass.

It is important to remember that the resort has a personalization system for all ski passes, that is, each card has a photo of the owner assigned to it. You will not be able to transfer your ski pass to someone else or take turns using one ski pass for two. When the control system detects violations, the security service confiscates the ski pass without compensation.

Tracks

The Rosa Khutor ski resort is the largest ski area in Russia. One day of skiing will not be enough to go around all the tracks. The total length of all routes is 102 kilometers, with a height difference of up to 1534 meters. Rosa Khutor has a modern system of artificial snow making of tracks, which increases the duration of the skiing season up to 140 days a year. The winter season starts in December and ends in April. Of course, the skiing season largely depends on the "unstable" weather in Krasnodar Territory in winter. When the winter in the region is cold and snowy, then all the tracks work at the resort. The best time for skiing is considered to be from January to March, at which time a stable snow cover is already formed.

The resort offers all types of trails. According to the level of difficulty, they are classified: green, blue, red and black. There is even a track for tobogganing and tubing.
Green trails are considered easy and suitable for beginners and anyone who likes quiet descents along forest alleys. In addition to the training slope, skiers and snowboarders are usually trained on the green slopes.

The blue slopes are considered medium in difficulty. On such tracks, those who have mastered all the basic elements feel comfortable. The slope of the blue slopes makes it possible to ride at a good speed, and the absence of sharp changes in the terrain makes the slopes more interesting and varied.

Red runs require good technique from the rider and are considered difficult. On the red runs there is always a steep slope and there are no gentle sections.
Black slopes are suitable only for professionals. They are designed for confident skiers and snowboarders. The black slopes at Rosa Khutor are the most difficult, because they were designed for Olympic downhill skiing.

View from the top, the height of "Rose Peak" - 2320 meters. There is an observation platform for tourists and a cafe where you can relax. This is the most high point for the descent. Black and red runs start from here. These trails are only for experienced and fearless skiers and snowboarders. In 2014, athletes flew down from here for a while. Tina Maze from Slovenia and Dominik Gisin from Switzerland showed the same best time 1:41.57, breaking 2730 meters!

Video: Rosa Khutor, cable car to Rosa Peak.

Carefully! Viewing may cause dizziness. Check for symptoms. Never thought I'd see this. The more I hear. It usually happens differently for everyone. At first, no one even suspects, but still you need to be prepared and know what to do.

A little lower we will talk about mountain heights.

Immediately after I refreshed myself in the Den, I became interested in the lift to Rosa Peak.

The information board showed +7 degrees at the very top. Coldly? How to say. If there is sun, then it will be warm and you can sunbathe. And if the sky is covered with clouds, then the cold will be significantly felt. These are mountains. So I took a jacket.

The lifts here are cab 8-seater gondola type. The route is called - Caucasian Express (starts from a height of 1340 m and goes up to 2320 m)
At a speed of 6 meters per second, the cabin rushes up.

Way up.

Avalanche system Gazex. Triggers forced avalanches using the detonation of a mixture of oxygen and propane. Simply put, the snow is undermined and shaken, an avalanche is forced to come down. In the summer, all systems are checked, it is necessary to fix them by the winter.

Views of the mountains. Below is the Champions Trail. I took note, because I want to walk here.

The resort is constantly being built and developed.

We've arrived. Altitude 2327 meters above sea level. Nothing to worry about for me. I saw how many people experienced discomfort due to low atmospheric pressure.
In fact, this is a comfortable enough height for all people.

In the booth I heard, they say, here now the "miner" (mountain sickness) will hammer.
The answer followed - "What the hell is a miner, at 2000 meters ?!"

Yes indeed. Where?

Let's look at the emerging signs of this disease with increasing altitude:

Altitude 800 - 1000 meters above sea level. It is easy for almost everyone to carry.

Altitude 1000 - 2500 meters above sea level. Physically unprepared people may feel lethargic, there is a slight dizziness, the heartbeat quickens. "Gornyashki" no.

2500 - 3000 meters above sea level. For the majority who have risen sharply to such a height, behavior can change: the mood rises, laughter and fun arise for no reason, excessive talkativeness breaks through. "Gornyashki" no.

3000 - 5000 meters above sea level. Everything is serious here. For many, the same “miner” appears in the initial stage. Immediately the rhythm of breathing changes. There is a feeling of suffocation. Possibly nausea. Stomach ache. There is a change from euphoria to apathy and indifference. These signs may develop after some time.

5000 - 7000 meters above sea level and beyond. Dangerous height. Signs of weakness, heaviness, powerful fatigue. It is worth turning your head sharply and dizziness is felt. Blue lips, nosebleeds and hallucinations are the very signs that bring out altitude sickness.

But here on Rosa Peak, not everything is so scary - it's only 2000 meters =) The euphoria here goes off scale for some.

Local map.

Along the entire perimeter of the peak there are protective fences and signs.

You can easily slide down the slope.

View of the Olympic Village

In the distance - the Mountain Olympic Village from a height of 2327 meters.

More and more visitors are coming.

And someone says there is no one.

For tourists there is a place to turn around.

Mountain Olympic village from a height of 2327 meters.

about euphoria. When you miss it, take a hookah.

Mountain Stone Pillar 2509 meters

Everyone had a photo with this friend.

Pleased.

As I said. The sun came out and the tourists finally relaxed.

They took off their jackets, got up hookahs and started a difficult task - a selfie against the backdrop of the mountains.

Look down, there is an abyss everywhere.

Somewhere there is snow.

A few more weeks and it won't be there at all.

View of the Rosa Stadium.

Cableway to the southern slope.

View from the south side of the mountain.

There is an information board for tourists.

Time to get down.

The clouds rolled in right there.

And it got very cold.

Traditional panorama

Which is located just above Krasnaya Polyana, and from where the gondola cable car begins, lifting to a height 2320m above sea level.

To climb to the very top, you need to make 3 transfers:

- Olympia(560m - 1150m above sea level)

(here is the Olympic village, where the athletes will live)

- reserved forest(1150-1340m)

- Caucasian Express(1340-2320m)

, raising to the highest point of Rose Peak, 2320 meters above sea level

These are three consecutive gondola lifts. Passage to the cable car through the turnstiles, and just like in the Moscow metro, you need to "pick" tickets. At the landing there is a person who helps to sit in the booths.

In the booth, I felt fine, but both of my friends were motion sick. At the very top, where the clouds go, it can be quite cool. I took a blouse for my child, but we were on a clear sunny day, so we didn’t freeze, although the temperature was significantly lower than below ...

Price - 850r.

My child is 5.5 years old, for her the ride was free. On landing there was a funny thing, because. it turned out that for the child, too, you need to take free ticket . I had to go back to the box office for a ticket.

This cable car has recently been opened for everyone. Prior to this, there was a chairlift,

which is slightly lower. It has not yet been dismantled, so you can see it from the new booths.

From the very top viewpoint Rosa Peak offers stunning views of the Caucasus and Gagra ranges.

In this part, we will talk about a walk on the lifts in the mountains in Rosa Khutor, in fact, for the sake of which we dropped in for the last three days of vacation in Sochi.

1. Our journey began from the Adler railway station. This is a new station building built for the 2014 Winter Olympics.

The new station building was built next to the old building and built over railroad tracks. The construction of the new Adler station began in 2010 and was completed in 2013 a couple of months before the start of the 2014 Olympics. The new Adler station was inaugurated on October 28, 2013. The shape of the new building resembles an oncoming wave. The capacity of the Adler new railway station is from 2,000 to 4,000 passengers per hour. Solar panels are installed on the roof of the station, thanks to which heat is supplied.

2. The old building of the railway station of the Adler station was put into operation in 1954, even before the village of Adler became part of Greater Sochi (1961).
circling in this place a large number of taxi drivers ready to take you anywhere. Agreed with one of them to reach for 200 rubles. from a person. The minibus cost about 130 rubles, but it takes a very long time to ride it, since the route lies along old track with stops in all settlements on the way to. Last year we rode it, it's still a pleasure :) The new track to Rosa Khutor is simply gorgeous, 35-40 minutes and we are there. The taxi driver offered the option of buying lift tickets at the same prices as at the box office, but without a queue. According to him, there should be just wild queues. At the entrance to Rosa Khutor, a seller of these same tickets is standing by the side of the road. In general, we refused, the taxi driver’s indignation knew no bounds :) Looking ahead, I’ll say that there were no queues, there were a lot of ticket offices. Most likely, we would have been sold a ticket only for the first level of the ascent at the price of a ticket for three ascents (1300 rubles). Outwardly, tickets cannot be distinguished in any way, they are magnetic.

3. Here we are, beauty :)

4. The ubiquitous McDonald's is here too.

5. One of the branches of the lift.

6. A huge samovar met visitors at the entrance of one of the many cafes.

56.

57. The road to Aibga, you can ride a horse. We won't go there.

58. We will go to a stone pillar at an altitude of 2509 m, but that will be in the next part.

Arriving in Rosa Khutor, walking and exploring almost thoroughly the lower part of the resort: Rosa Dolina, today I finally decided to climb its main peak: Rosa Peak 2320 meters. And not just climb, but go out and take a walk at all the stops of the cable car and visit everything, everything that is interesting there.

In the morning, I leave the Olympic Village (on Rosa Plateau-1170 m), where I lived, on a trip. I take a small snack (you never know what?), A bottle of water, a warm jacket. Everything seems to be ready. I'm going to the mountains! Sounds great, right?

To get to the top of the route, you will need to change 3 funiculars. The route starts in Rosa Khutor from a height of 560 meters. See the end of the article for details on how to get here.

The above diagram shows all the cable cars that are included in a single ticket(See price information at the end). And also on this map the height above sea level of each transfer stop is indicated.

For understanding, I’ll immediately say that from Rose Valley (the lower point of the route at an altitude of 560 meters) to Rose Peak (at an altitude of 2320 m) there are 3 closed gondola lifts: Olympia, Reserved Forest, Caucasian Express.

And 3 more chairlifts (open) can be used simply for “rides”, well, or to get to any attraction:

• Wolf Rock will roll past the Rose Stadium point;
• Edelweiss will descend to the park of waterfalls "Mendelikha":
• Crocus will raise to the highest peak at a height of 2509 meters, where the observation deck " Stone Pillar».

Go?! 😀

1. Olympia

The first funicular starts near the central city square Rosa Khutor.

One of the most spectacular routes - the Olympus cable car - passes over the abyss of the Sulimovsky stream. With its help, you have to overcome the distance of 2341 meters.

From here you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the resort.

After about 20 minutes the guests resort town will be able to get to the Rosa Plateau with a height of 1170 meters.

This place is famous for the fact that in 2014 athletes, participants in the Olympic competitions lived here. Now everything here is still working and open to guests.

Come in, you won't regret it! I “hung” there for a long time: so unexpectedly I liked this extreme rope town, where not only children can travel (as I used to think). but also adults.

So consider your free time, because getting out of there is quick, especially if you and your children don't work out. It's really very interesting there!

If you go down a little, then you will get to the Rosa Stadium. During the days of the last Olympics, spectators sat here and “cheered” for their favorite athletes.

To get here, you can transfer to the open chair lift "Wolf Rock". It also starts at the Besedka stop, you just need to go a little through a small tunnel.

The length of this cable car is 1379 meters. They say that in winter there are huge queues of skiers. But in the summer you can safely ride.

True, there is no landing at the lower stop. Therefore, you can make a lap of honor and return to the starting point. You have not forgotten that the main goal of our trip is the highest point of Rose Peak!

3. Caucasian Express

To get to it, at the Besedka stop (altitude 1350 meters), transfer to the Caucasian Express - already the 3rd gondola lift - which will help you get to the very top of Rosa Peak, 2320 meters above sea level.

The length of this cable car is 2370 meters. The views around are amazing! From the window of a moving booth, it is especially interesting to watch how summer turns into winter in a few minutes - the crowns of trees change their color, and in some places snow is already visible.

The air temperature drops significantly when climbing Rosa Peak. True, the summer sun warms, but the piercing mountain wind can spoil (“freeze”) a magical mountain walk. Therefore, a warm jacket or jacket can be very useful.

At the peak of emotions

Taking the summit

And here I am at the top! How can one not remember Vysotsky, or rather, the words of his song: “The whole world is in the palm of your hand, you are happy and mute!” And indeed, such beauty around is breathtaking!

The view from Rosa Peak in summer is amazing! You soar above all mountain peaks at the level of the clouds! Such space and beauty that it is impossible to describe! And this impression is helped by paragliders who hover over the mountain peaks on colored parachutes.

From here, all the tiers of the resort town of Rosa Khutor are perfectly visible.

And the weather is wonderful - frost and sun! Very beautiful white flowers grow in the glades around. I thought it was Edelweiss. But someone said they were rhododendrons. But they could not determine the exact name.

So this question still remains unanswered. Write in the comments if you know exactly what it is so wonderful.

There are many interesting things at the top. There are inhuman skiers, with whom all the tourists very willingly take pictures.

At the top there are signs indicating how many kilometers from here are big cities Russia, as well as in which direction you need to go. 😀

From here begins the hiking route to the Stone Pillar, 2509 meters high. This is the highest point in this place. But for some reason, the passage in that direction was closed. Over time, the Crocus cable car should open to it.

Near the Rosa Peak funicular station, the Vysota restaurant was built, right next to it there is a launch pad where you can buy a ticket and paragliding with an instructor. The flight lasts about 15 minutes. It looks very impressive!

But, probably, when you yourself are in the air, it is much cooler! Will have to try it on my next visit.

Suspension bridge at an altitude of more than 2000 m

If you want to add extreme sports to your life and get even more adrenaline, then you will like another attraction that has been launched here recently. He, of course, is not the same as glass, the longest in the world pedestrian bridge Sochi, no, it's just different. But the emotions that await you on such dizzy height I think no less exciting!

At the top of Rose Peak, at an altitude of 2320 meters, a narrow wooden suspension bridge is stretched over the abyss.

I didn’t follow it, to be honest, I had enough impressions in. The bridge is located over a deep gorge, next to the observation deck. Only 12 years old are allowed to this entertainment.

You will be given a helmet, gloves, reliable insurance, but don't forget to wear comfortable shoes and take a good mood with you. And try not to lose this smiling mood somewhere at an altitude of 2320 meters above a deep, sometimes hazy abyss.

The bridge is open without days off and breaks, every day from 10 am to 6 pm. Such walks are available to guests only until October 21 and only in good, almost calm weather!

All information about prices is at the end of the article.

Admire the mountain waterfalls

The price of the walking ticket "The Way to the Heights" also includes a visit to the park of waterfalls "Mendelikha". This is a novelty at the resort, the tour appeared only in the summer of 2017.

The park, created by Mother Nature in a natural way, is located along the Mendelikha River and is located at an altitude of about 1400 meters above sea level.

The Mendelikh River is named after the family that lived here at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, headed by Boris Petrovich Mendel. During the Caucasian War, he served in these places and was a military paramedic. After the war, the young man got married, and the family stayed on these lands. Over time, five children were born.

All family members worked very hard. They sowed rye and millet, built a water mill that they needed so much, bred and grazed cattle. Boris Petrovich himself was killed at the age of 78, when he accidentally saw how money and jewelry of the Cossack army were being smuggled across the border.

Now you can go down to the waterfall park on the Edelweiss chairlift. Its length is more than 2.5 kilometers (more precisely, 2658 km).

This modern lift is equipped with the latest technology: visitors are protected from wind and rain by caps, even the seats are heated here! From the lower station of Edelweiss to the upper one, it takes about 15 minutes to go, so you will have time to enjoy the fantastic beauty of the Caucasus mountains surrounding you.

By the way, an unusual recommendation: if you are planning to go along this route, do not forget to take your passport or birth certificate for your child with you. The border with Abkhazia passes nearby, and at any moment of your trip, a border guard may appear nearby with the usual request for this area: to present documents.

During the excursion walking route"Mendelikha" is planned to inspect 8 waterfalls. But it will probably be next year 2018. Now only three are open to the public. Next to them are specially equipped viewing platforms, hiking trails with railings and, as far as possible, comfortable ladders.

There are two circles of the route along the mountain paths, they have climbs and steps. The passage of two routes takes about two hours.

The “Small Ring”, 0.8 km long, can be covered in 30–50 minutes. The height difference here is 90 meters. Meet along the way beautiful waterfall, which bears the name of the discoverer of these places - Mendel's waterfall.

The Big Ring is really big. Its length is 1.7 kilometers. The average travel time is 1–1.5 hours. The upper point of the route is 1500 m, the lower one is 1430 m above sea level. On the route of this route you will visit the waterfalls "Chara" and "Chervonny". The height of each is about 20 meters. The places are equipped with a convenient descent, wooden railings and steps are provided.

You can get to the Mendelikha Waterfalls Park either by the Edelweiss cable car or on foot following the signs from Rosa Peak.

All information provided here is theoretical. At the end of June 2017, when I was traveling in this area, the Edelweiss cable car passed the lowest point of the waterfall park without stopping: construction work was still going on here. So this route in practice I have to go sometime later.

Therefore, I will be very glad if one of the readers who have gone down this path will write their review below in the comments. 🙂

Prices and tickets. Choose

cable car

Tickets for the cable car to Rosa Peak-2320 can be purchased at the box office at two stops: in Rosa Valley and Rosa Plateau (Olympic Village). It is also possible to make a purchase online on the resort's website, especially if you do not want to waste time in line. Then here, on the spot, you will just need to get a ticket at a separate box office.

To choose the right tariff, you will have to spend some time to sort out the details. And there are many tariffs here, because for the comfort of guests in Rosa Khutor Krasnaya Polyana 26 were built. And each of them has its own name, purpose and mode of operation.

Of course, not all funiculars operate constantly. Some begin to function only with the beginning of the ski season. Here are just a few prices for the summer period.

* Path to the heights- the most popular among tourists (according to their reviews) a walking ticket on the Rosa Khutor cable car. Its payment includes 1 trip up and down from the lower Rose of the Valley to the upper station of Rose Peak on all cable cars of the route. And there are 6 of them open in the summer: 3 gondola funiculars (travel in closed cabins) and 3 chairlifts (open).

The cost of such a ticket today for an adult from 15 years old will be 1450 rubles. The price for children from 6 to 14 years old, disabled people of groups 2 and 3, accompanying a disabled person of group 1 and people whose age exceeds 60 is 850 rubles.

* Discovery Day- this is the tariff for an unlimited number of ascents and descents on all cable cars throughout the whole day. It will cost 1550 rubles for an adult, 1000 for a child.

* Sunset at the Peak includes the opportunity to climb the highest point of Rosa Peak, on the way to another lift, the Reserve Forest, a gift drink in the restaurant "Vysota", then the descent back. And of course, indescribable emotions from the road itself, from the surrounding beauty and from meeting the sunset at the top of Rose Peak. All this is available only from 17:40. The cost of an adult ticket is 1250, a child ticket is 800 rubles.

* Ticket price to the Mountain Olympic Village– 1 ascent and 1 descent by the Olympia cable car costs 850 rubles for a visitor from 15 years old. For a child from 6 to 14 - 500. For the whole family, consisting of 2 adults and 2 children, the tour will cost 2550.

There are also tickets that combine the cable car route with lunch at the Berlog. This is such a popular restaurant at an altitude of 1170 meters, which is located at the transfer site from the Olymp cable car to the Zapovedny Les.

There are also interesting discounts. If you stay at any hotel in the Olympic Village, you can use the Olympia lift for free, any number of times during the day.

And there is Walking evening tickets. They can be bought 1 hour before the closing of the cable car and only in vending machines at the lower station Rosa Khutor. At the same time, the rise to the Olympic Village will cost only 100 rubles, and not 850!

The creators of the resort took care of the privileged category of visitors. These are children under 5 years old, participants in the Second World War, disabled people of the 1st group, people over 70. For them, these trips will be free. Of course, in such cases, it is imperative to have documents confirming the benefits with you.

And I repeat once again, there are many options for tickets, everyone will be able to choose the ideal option for themselves.

Additional entertainment at the top

A walk along the pedestrian high-altitude bridge on the top of Rosa Peak, which is located at an altitude of 2320 meters and is the highest point of the Aibga ridge, costs 500 rubles. This price includes all the necessary safety equipment for your safety.

At the same time, you can additionally order stunning photos from a professional photographer.

Your happy face over a huge abyss can be captured for only 200 rubles, but if you want to receive the original photos to your email, then in this case, you will need to pay 500 rubles.

A paragliding flight with an instructor over the mountain peaks will cost “only” 4,700 rubles. True, if you order a video filming of the flight, then this adds another 1800 rubles to the price. Well, how not to capture such an incredible moment ??? 🙄

Therefore, the cost of the flight is equal to 7500 rubles.

Well, a visit to the high-altitude restaurant "Vysota" depends entirely on the capabilities of your wallet. The prices here are rather high, but the views around are appropriate!

How to get there, opening hours

Funiculars depart from Rosa Khutor. The lower station of the cable car is located near central square resort town.

You can get here in different ways:

• on public bus(they depart from Sochi, Adler, airport);
• on the train "Swallow";
• in your own car;
• and also by taxi or as part of an excursion group.

The approximate distance from Adler is 40 km, from Sochi you will have to travel about 80 km (depending on the area of ​​the city).

By the way, if you get to public transport, many of them offer an additional service.

In the Krasnaya Polyana area, a local guide enters the bus. He briefly talks about the sights of Krasnaya Polyana, answers questions from travelers, and also sells tickets for the cable car to Rosa Peak.

The price is the same as at the box office, but there is no need to stand in lines. And you can immediately, leaving the transport, go on a wonderful trip to the mountains: to conquer the mountain peaks of the Caucasus!

Here is a map of the Rosa Khutor resort to make it easier for you to navigate on the spot.

The cable car from Rosa Khutor starts its work in the morning at 9:30. It is from this time that you can go to the top. For those who live in the Olympic Village, the lift is open from 7 am. But at this time, you can only use the first cable car: Olympia.

Working hours in the evening, in order to be guaranteed to get to Peak-2320, you need to catch the funicular to Rosa Khutor before 18:10. Further, the entrance to the rise is closed. But keep in mind that if you set off during the closing time, you can only drive to the top and go back down. After all, all other cable cars are also gradually finishing their work:

• Reserved Forest - at 19:30;
• Caucasian Express - at 19:10;
• Wolf Rock - at 18:00;
• Edelweiss - at 17:00.

Keep in mind that here is summer schedule funicular operation. In addition, during the summer season it may change, so I recommend checking the information on the official website of the Krasnaya Polyana resort.

Look at the location of the route, as well as the main points discussed in the article, on the map (press "+" to zoom in on objects or "-" to zoom out).

During my trip to Sochi and Adler, I booked accommodation in different places. It is very easy to rent an apartment or a room on the service, or through booking a hotel.

And for traveling around Sochi mountain routes it will be even more comfortable to stay at. There are many unique attractions worthy of your visit!

My summit of Rosa Peak took place on June 26, 2017. Other attractions Krasnodar Territory(in particular, cities, and), where I managed to visit, is on this map.
