Sochi ski resorts are relatively young, appeared only in the late 90s of the last century. At the same time, they firmly occupy their place in the top ten of the best mining. ski resorts The world is due to the modern infrastructure, the excellent level of trails and good service, not inferior to the famous resorts of Switzerland and Austria. Rest in Sochi costs cheaper, getting here much easier, and a magnificent nature Krasnodar Region Above all praise.
Why it all started
Three tens of years ago, Sochi was positioned as a summer resort, while in the 90s of the last century from the West to Russia, the fashion for the mountain skiing. In 1992, the Alpika-Service company built the first ski lift in Krasnaya Polyana: tourists immediately supported this idea. Today Alpika-service is one of the four ski resorts of Sochi, not the most fashionable, but rather popular.
It is located in the village of Esto-Sadok, a gorgeous panorama on Mount Chugush opens from his slopes. The total length of local trails is 25 km. The lifts here are new (thanks to the Olympics), however, the gondolars are pretty low, and to attach the camera on the helmet will not succeed.
Fashionable rose farm
The Sochi ski resorts include three more - Rosa Khutor, Gazprom and Mountain Carousel, they are also in Red Polyana. But have a serious advantage. Their appearance is associated with 2007 - with deciding on holding in 2014 in Sochi Winter Olympiad. Construction was large-scale - all experienced skiers confirm the highest level of the tracks.
The most fashionable resort is rose farm. On the Olympics, there were highways for all kinds of winter competitions. Fifty descents total length 80 km is not just cool, this may envy the best European resorts.
True, there are no individual trails for children, but they don't have to start riding from the top of the slope. But learning is provided for them in a special children's club. Adults at the resort will delight an extreme park, where there are highways for slalom, ski acrobatics and Mogul. Another advantage of the resort is a huge selection of hotels located near the lifts .
Gazprom does not lag behind
This resort is the youngest, it is still called Laura, in honor of the local river. Trails here are only 16, their total length is 15 km away. But the resort is very compact and cozy, enjoys popular vacation villas, which is very convenient for families and large companies. The resort has an ordering of the tracks: Skiers will not be able to get rid of the way and accidentally get to the other track, so it is possible not to fear beginners that the route suddenly becomes dangerous. The resort has a large selection of entertainment, ice arena and open pool Heated in which it is particularly nice to swim in winter.
Mountain Carousel Leadership
The resort was recognized as an international level before others. This is a whole city (enters the city slide complex), with fashionable hotels and comfortable apartments. The tracks occupy 27 km, there is a gentle and very extreme slopes. Local mountains are perfectly suitable for riding lovers outside the tracks - the snow is enough here. For kids, special routes are provided.

I ride for 17 years on skiing and snowboard.
Evgenia Torgashova
went to the Red Polyana
I live in Bashkortostan, so ski resorts Southern Urals Already studied. I am a third winter in a row, I leave for a week in Sochi to the resorts of the Red Polyana. The last trip cost me 20 thousand rubles. I will tell you why I love the Red Polyana and what can be saved.
Why Red Polyana
Red Polyana - Resort in Krasnodar Territory And the common name for the location where the village of Krasnaya Polyana is located, Estosadal village (it is closest to the ski centers) and ski resorts.
This year, for the first time in history, all four resorts of Red Polyana are open: Gazprom-Alpika, Gazprom-Laura, "Gorki City", "Rose Khutor".
Many believe that "Rose Farm" and "Red Polyana" are synonyms, but it is not. "Rose Farm" is only one of the Krasnopolyanyan resorts, but the biggest: the length of the tracks is 102 km here. The total length of the tracks of all resorts of Krasnaya Polyana is 160 km, and this is not counting the huge zone of incntulaty skiing (for your fear and risk).
There is no longer such an extensive riding zone in Russia. On the second place you can put Sheregesh, but there are only 35 km of tracks. In Krasnaya Polyana, you can ride every day in a new resort, and to fully explore the "Rose Farm", and there will be little three days.
Red Polyana is not just skating from morning to evening. The ski festivals and stars concerts are passing: we fell to Tinkoff Rosa-Fest and a little bit at the concert of the Splin Group. Rollers, cartridges, water parks, cinemas, equipment stores, gyms, exhibitions - there is something to do in bad weather.
I rode in Austria and Italy, and I am a red glade more suitable for short vacation. To go to the Alps, you need to plan long. There will not work out "under the forecast" or just go for the weekend.
Compare prices in the Alps and Red Polyana - Favorite occupation of experienced. For me, rest in Krasnaya Polyana is definitely cheaper.
Flight
To get to the Red Polyana, you need to fly in Sochi. The airport closest to Sochi is located in Adler - this is not a neighboring city, but the area of \u200b\u200bBig Sochi. In winter, the airfare Moscow - Sochi costs from 3000 p to one side. If you fly with your ski equipment, do not forget to look at the cost of a ticket with luggage - usually it is higher at 1500-2000 p.
Aeroflot Airlines, ES-7, " Ural Airlines"," UTair "transport in winter ski gear For free, in addition to the main standard of baggage. But this does not apply to the cheapest tariffs "Light", "promo" and the like - they are suitable only for those who plan to take equipment for rent in place.
If you take the most cheap airlineBe preferred for luggage and other options.

My experience. I live in Bashkortostan. Flights Ufa - Sochi - Ufa with Luggage to my dates cost 12 000 r per person. We decided that it was expensive, and checked the prices for batch tours. As a result, we managed to buy a burning tour from one famous tour operator for 15,600 p for two. The tour included a charter flight there and back, accommodation in the hotel - 6 nights with breakfast.
Such prices for tours in winter are not uncommon, here is an example of booking a tour from Kazan.
Council for residents of regions and not only: Check how long the tours are on the sites-aggregators ("flying", "Travela", "Level-Travel") - often it is cheaper than you pay for air tickets, accommodation and transfer separately.
Transfer from airport
Transfer prices depends on where you settle down. There are two fundamentally different options:
- live in the Red Polyana or Estosade, next to the ski resorts;
- live on the coast, in Adler, and in the mountains to come to ride.
I will tell about the advantages and disadvantages of each option, but as long as we look at the cost of the transfer. If your hotel is in a mountain cluster, focus on the following prices.
156 R - Ticket for bus number 105 or 105s, which goes to the Red Polyana.
300 R - a trip on the shuttle of the resort "Rosa Khutor". Shuttle runs on a schedule and does not stop at other resorts. Here is a schedule.
1300 R - A trip on the passenger taxis, the ski equipment for 2-3 people usually climbs into such a car.
2000-2200 R - Taxi Minivan on a large company of 7-8 people.
300-400 R - Car in carchering at the airport parking.
Long-term rental cars without a driver in Sochi costs from 1000 rubles per day excluding fuel costs.
If you decide to live by the sea, and to ride only ride in the mountains, then the issue with the transfer is solved even easier: 500 R is a transfer by Adler on a passenger taxi, from 50 p - public transport.
My experience. We flew to the tour operator, so they did not pay anything for the transfer: we met a bus at the airport and took to the hotel. Conveniently.
Where to live: Red Polyana
Pros. Hotel in the mountains, in close proximity to the resorts is convenient for someone, and for couples, and especially for families with children. Less time passes from breakfast to the first ski descent. More entertainment in the evenings - the fact that in Europe is called "APRE-SKI".
In the season in Krasnaya Polyana, parties in bars, jazz festivals, avalanche lectures and freeride skating, concerts are constantly held. Entertainment in winter more in the mountains, not on the coast.
Minuses. Live in winter in the Red Polyana expensive. Room at the hotel for two with a separate shower room is an average of 3500-4000 r per night.
It is more expensive to live in hotels on Rosa Plateau at an altitude of 1170 m. There are "Ski-In-Ski-Out" format hotels, then you can get out right in ski boots and immediately get to the lift. These are large network hotels with swedish table For breakfast and dinner, inventory storage rooms and spa complexes. For everything you need to pay: the day of stay in the Rosa Springs spa, for example, will cost in 2000 p.
Riders-Lodge, Rosa-Springs, Rosa-Ski-Inn, Cottages Rosa-Chale are located closest to the cable cars. Room in Rosa-Ski-Inn When booking a month before the trip, there are 7,500 rubles per night even without breakfast. Similar prices in the youth "Riders Lodge".
As it removed from the cableways, hotels are decreasing. And fall to a minimum if you are ready to consider not a hotel, but a hostel. In the hostel, the price of 600 rubles per night - do not even be booked in advance.
Anyway will have to solve the issue with the transfer from the hotel to the lifts. This or free shuttle (if you have ski pass), or city buses number 135, 105, or taxi. Bus ticket within Krasnaya Polyana costs from 25 p, a taxi trip to the resort - 300-400 r.
Council. Hotels from which you can go straight to the lifts, and they are expensive. Book hotels where the daily transfer to the lifts is already enabled. So you do not have to wait every morning to wait for the bus or order a taxi to get to the lower stations of the Gazprom cable car, "Gorki city" or "Roses Farm". About this service hotels are always reported on Bucking.
How to save. Best hotels Open the reservation for the winter in the summer. To live in cool hotels in the mountains, armor needs to be abandoned at least 4-6 months before the trip.
Where to live: Adler
This is not the most obvious accommodation option for those who go to Sochi to ride skiing. Nevertheless, we practice it for three years in a row and we advise everyone. It is about Adler, and not about Central Sochi. From Adler there is a speed highway to the Red Polyana, the road to the lifts takes 40-50 minutes by car.
Pros. In winter, the Adler Hotel is idle, so you can find excellent rooms for two with your own bathroom at a price of 1000 rubles per day. The number of this class at this price in the Red Polyana is not found.
If you live in Adler, each time after skating it will be possible to change the climate. In the mountains at the rose-valley level, the daily temperature is about 0-5 ° C, and on the coast in the winter it reaches 15 ° C. Watching the sunset on a deserted winter beach - invaluable.
Minuses. Every day you have to spend 2 hours on the road (hour there, hour back). If you get to the resorts by car, you will have to refuse yourself in mulled on the mountain and a mug of beer after riding.
My experience. This year we traveled through the tour operator, the accommodation was included in the cost of a ticket. Our friends flew from Orenburg themselves and settled in the same hotel - "Sochi Park Hotel". For 6 nights, they paid only 3000 rubles per double room. So each can do:
In Adler, there are several hotels that work on the "All Inclusive" system - offer accommodation, meals, transfer to lifts. These are Lieutenant Rzhevsky hotels and "Arly", the pension "Knowledge" and others.
At 8 am, guests will be taken to any of the three ski centers, and at 16-17 hours take away. You can go immediately in ski boots - save on the storage chamber.

How to get to the lifts
If you do not live in the "Ski-In-Ski-Out" format, every morning you have to get to the lifts.
In Krasnaya Polyana Before the lifts, you can get on a free shuttle if you have a ski pass of any resort. You can still take a taxi (300-400 p) or on public bus. A bus ticket costs 25-50 p depending on the number of stops.
If you live in Adler And plan to go every day to ski resorts, the following options:
- the same transfer from hotels is sometimes included in accommodation. In Sochi Park Hotel, the transfer costs 600 r there or back;
- the famous Olympic electric train "Swallow" - 250 r from the Station "Imereti Resort" to the station "Rosa Khutor";
- bus Olympic Park - Rosa Khutor - 187 p one way;
- private traders - from 200 r per person, but they will go, only when the full car is scored;
- crashing - from 8 r per minute renting a car.
My experience. Carixing is well developed in Sochi. On this trip we traveled to the resorts only on creepering machines. A trip by car from the Olympic Park to Rosa Khutor accounted for 400 r. There were four of us, so my carchering costs accounted for only 1500 r per week.
If you plan to use Crashing in Sochi, I advise you to register in the Appendix at Home: Documents can check for several days. We chose the company "Yuartkar". Their application seemed to me very simple and comfortable.
Crashing has features: the car can only be left in permitted places. And in the company every day you have to assign a sober driver.

Ski pass
So you flew, settled, got to the resorts and decided how to get to the lifts. It remains to buy ski pass and start, finally ride.
In the Range Zone of the Red Polyana, there are four ski resorts: Gazprom-Laura, Gazprom-Alpika, Rose Farm and Gorki City. Prices on ski pass everywhere are different, there is no single skit-pass yet, although the media regularly promises it. With a single ski pass, it will be like in Europe: I bought and ride throughout the zone. In the meantime, the tourist every day has to choose which resort to go.
Each resort has a deployed tariff mesh on ski pass: prices depend on days of the week and season (on weekends and holidays more expensive), on the number of days of riding in a row, age and other points.
"Rosa Khutor"
The price of skit-pass for the day in high season: 2650 p.
Trails: 8 green, 18 blue, 12 red, 8 black, trails for sled and tubing, Snow Park.
Who comes up: families with children, advanced riders, freerideraders.
In my opinion, this is the best ski resort of Russia with a total length of the tracks 102 km. There are green highways for beginners, a lot of blue and red trails. It was here that the Olympic skiing program was held, and now everyone has the opportunity to ride on the "male" or "female" Olympic descent - these tracks are called.
2560 R.
