Ski resort“Zvezdochka” is located on the territory of Tsaritsynsky Park not far from the Orekhovo metro station (you can walk there). The slope has been known to Muscovites for a very long time: the first skiers appeared here in the sixties of the last century. Its origin is artificial; it is an artificial peak above the slope of a ravine. But you hardly notice this, everything fits very harmoniously into the surrounding landscape, and with highest point opens great view to the park and surrounding areas. There are only three trails here, not very long - about 110-240 meters - and quite calm, the height difference does not exceed 45 meters. The width of the tracks is from 10 to 30 meters.
Zvezdochka GK is a slide that is well suited for beginner athletes and children. You just need to have your own equipment. Luggage storage, however, is only available here for ski club members, but the slope is located not far from the Orekhovo metro station, so it’s unlikely you’ll have to take it with you. a large number of things - except for sports equipment, of course. Ski resort in Orekhovo, the good news is that there is a wonderful opportunity to ski not only downhill, but also cross-country skiing in the nearby Tsaritsyn Arboretum with paved trails for cross-country skiing.

Tsaritsyno Park
Tsaritsyno is one of the most extraordinary estates in Moscow, and, one might say, in all of Russia. They are surprised and attracted by its strange fate, the still unsolved mystery associated with its construction, the very appearance of the huge Tsaritsyno estate, romantic and somewhat mysterious, similar to a museum of stupid and unrestrained ideas of the 18th century, rich in inventions, fantasies and whims, repeated attempts to complete it, slow, over the course of two hundred years, fading. And finally, a fabulous, as if by magic, revival. More recently on the walls Grand Palace climbers trained, and today this is the most popular place throughout Moscow: “Have you seen the “singing fountains” in Tsaritsyno? No? Haven’t you visited Tsaritsyno Park yet?” The flow of people does not dry up either in summer or winter, neither during the day nor in the evening.
