Ski resorts In Sochi 2020 - prices with accommodation and overview popular seats In the village of Krasnaya Polyana (Rosa Khutor). Houses, apartments, cottages and places in hostels - where it is better to stop.Mountain skiing in Sochi 2019 are somewhat different from last year's, as in the best, so for the worse. Best places For riding and infrastructure have become different. In particular, the hotel "Polyana 1389" was finally opened in the laure - it is especially convenient for those who have facilities and drove in Sochi by car in winter. There and parking there, and cottages are comfortable, and spa programs for women are available. But those who decided to go by train, will have to take care of the purchase of tickets in advance: "Swallows" strongly cut down, so since October, it became inconvenient since October since October.
Five facts about alkaline skiing in Sochi:Fact number 1: Laughter-grass grows in the vicinity of Krasnaya Polyana. In the forests near the village in the summer, laughter-grass is found, which local residents Allyium (allium ursinnum). One bunch of such grass causes a man to laugh at about 30 minutes without ceasing. Fact number 2: Skiing in Krasnaya Polyana rode back in 1992! The first lift was built by Alpika-Service 25 years ago, when the resort was little known in Russia, and in the village itself, the cattle. Fact number 3: The first residents of the rose rose were Estonians. The name of the resort occurred on behalf of the first resident - Estonian Adula Roo. Estonian settlers settled here in the 19th century, in the 1930s, becoming the winners of the All-Union Competitions of the USSR. Stalin on Bobsley. Fact number 4: When building a cable car, the builders used catapults. For the delivery of building materials in hard-to-reach places, special catapults were constructed, which are metal stones and bags with rubble to the construction site in order not to spoil the forest. FACT number 5: On one of the tracks of Roses, the farm has its own Hachico. The poor fellow for 5 years has been waiting for his owner, who went to the fog skiing and disappeared. The dog can be found at the rescue station near the ski lift - her local workers feed it. |
In addition, service in many hotels of cheap and middle class has fallen due to the crisis. There are many hotels, but after the Olympics, the service fell somewhat. Maybe now the situation is to recover - because the crisis made most of the mountain ski lovers refuse not only from Switzerland and Austria, but even from Bulgaria. So the Sochi Red Polyana in this regard is great prospects.

The houses of the hotel overlooking the river and mountain panoramas are most in demand. On the ski resort Rosa Khutor, rent a room is easiestly through an online booking. For the new year, as a rule, prices for rooms and cottages increase by about 20%.

Gazprom (Laura)
Ski resort in Sochi Gazprom or, as it is also called, Laura, one of the best. Who was on european resorts It will not be much disappointed. It is unpleasant only not always worthy service and periodically skipping rudeness. Yes, and your face at the entrance takes pictures - suddenly you steal the rental skiing "Fisher". But in general, everything is fine for comfort.
The main base in Gazprom is located near the lower lift. Cottages, restaurants, beautiful places - All this is guaranteed. The infrastructure is good with the exception of some bougiel lifts, near which the queues accumulate. Plus, the resort is low, so the organizers have to support snow covers with guns in some places. So such that in the laure of snow melted and impossible to ride, does not happen. Moreover, artificial snow is better for athletes and professionals. Therefore, the snow guns in Gazprom are really a big plus of this resort.
In total, Gazprom 16 runs of different complexity. Those who have not been involved in the mountain skiing in Sochi 2020, will be very comfortable and convenient - there is a gentle descent to teach. As for rental ski prices, you will have to put from 500 to 1000 rubles for the set of Volki or Fisher. In general, it is not bad, in a few days you can remarkably relax. You can also rent a snowboard.
"Rosa Khutor"
Ski resort in Sochi "Rosa Khutor" - a former resort for Nishbrodov. Prices here are the most accessible, especially in terms of living. But rental, lifts - even more expensive than in Europe. The lift for 1 day will cost 2650 rubles. Conditions - after the Olympics (and the competitions went here) became quite normal. Scenic, but somewhat sad view of the Mzmitt river, all sorts of Russian harchevni-Borschevni, a good cable car with spacious cabins. There is, by the way, in the "Rose Farm" and expensive hotels, but it is necessary to understand that young people and local dominations are dominated at the resort.
The length of the tracks on the Rose Farm is more than on Gazprom Laura. Here they are as much as 77 km, lifts - 16 pieces. Snow cannons work - to ride where. Part of the lifts is still built, and for several years. Of the minuses - there are stones and ice boulders on some tracks. The queues on the lifts are also available. In addition, tourist reviews about Rosa Khutor testify that the resort is very loved to deceive with prices. So everything is typically Russian. But again, who came to ride - he will receive it. The only one, you need to be careful, because not all dangerous tracks are marked. See the map, remember, do not rush.
In general, Rosa Khutor causes irritation, especially those who have previously visited Europe. But there is nowhere to go. If you humble and just come ride, you can even enjoy.

If you can get a reservation at the Mountain Carousel at a mark of 960 meters, he will enjoy only one picturesque look. Of all the ski skis in Sochi 2020, "Carousel" is the most beautiful.
The length of the tracks here is 27 kilometers. In the main track professional, there are even springboards, but there are several tracks for beginners. With children, it is better not to ride here, although the instructors are good for them. Just the tracks for children's riding in the opinion of many are dangerous. Yes, and with a car, there is almost no parking lot here. Otherwise, "Mountain Carousel" is a very worthy object. Hotels - medium price, from 3000 rubles with penny per room. Mountain skiing from famous firms - Salomon, Rossignol, Berton, elite Volki and Fisher. Cost - about 1000 rubles. Ski-Pass will cost 700 rubles and higher.
Service in the "Mountain Carousel" is not too different from Gazprom and Roses Farm, but probably due to a smaller number of people, it is more relaxed and decent. Plus infrastructure is not such a developed - restaurants, saunas and bars here are much less.
Although skiing In Sochi 2020 is inferior to the European level, they develop every year.Who does not go to Sochi, he goes to Dombai. The organizers of the ski resorts in Sochi work on an increase in service, which in 2019 has grown noticeably.
