Recently, many ski lovers are increasingly choosing not the famous Austrian, Swiss and French centers for winter recreation, but Russian ski resorts. It turned out that you can spend time at domestic ski resorts just as well as in Courchevel or Davos. And it's not even a matter of awakened patriotism. It's just that foreign exoticism has already ceased to be such, and there is an interest in new places. And there are many such places for skiing and outdoor activities in the homeland. Perhaps the most expensive ski resort in Russia and the most famous is the village of Krasnaya Polyana, where the Rosa Khutor center is located.
Pearl of Krasnaya Polyana
The village of Krasnaya Polyana is located on the Mzitma River. It is only 40 km away from the Black Sea. The landscapes of Krasnaya Polyana are familiar to all of us from the feature film "Prisoner of the Caucasus": the comedy was filmed here. The settlement was built on a site formed by a glacier, which is framed by a river on one side, and the spurs of Achishko peak on the other. In the east you can see the Aibga ridge, famous for the fact that the most popular ski center "Rosa Khutor" is located on its slopes. 10 hotels, which can simultaneously accommodate more than one and a half thousand guests, are located at different levels of the most expensive ski resort in Russia. The lower part of the resort is called "Rose Valley". Its objects can be found at an altitude of 575 meters above sea level. The upper part of Rosa Khutor is called Rosa Peak. To reach it, one must climb to a height of 2509 meters above sea level.
The most expensive ski resort in Russia - for everyone
The decision to build a ski complex in Krasnaya Polyana was made at the beginning of the 21st century. For the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the number of tracks has been significantly increased and the infrastructure has been improved. Prices for accommodation, meals and ski passes skyrocketed! Despite this, in the winter season it is better to book rooms in hotels in advance, because there is no end to those wishing to relax at Rosa Khutor! You can cheat and come here for one day from Sochi or Adler. Then the rest will be much cheaper.
The Rosa Khutor Center is not only the most expensive ski resort in Russia, but also the largest winter complex in the country. Up to 10 thousand people can rest here at the same time. They have 17 tracks at their disposal, some of which are black. 18 lifts bring guests to the beginning of the slopes.
