Gorki city characteristics of the tracks. Ski slopes for beginners at Rosa Khutor, Gorki Gorod, Gazprom. Trails in Gorki Gorod

Main characteristics of cable cars and ski slopes

11 gondola and chairlifts with a capacity of 2,400 people/hour.

Ski slopes different levels difficulties from “green” to “black” with a total length of about 30 km from an altitude of +2340 m to +960 m.

Illuminated trails with a total length of 2 km, evening skiing from +1130 m to +960 m.

Artificial snow trails with a total length of 4.9 km from +1500 m to +960 m, 64 snow cannons.

In the winter season 2017/2018, 11 lifts operate. The main lift is three stages of the Main cable car with 8-seater gondolas (K-1, K-2 and K-3), which lift to a height of 2200 m. Three more chairlifts (K-4, K-5 and K-6) operate in the “Circus” ski areas -2” and “Circus-3”. "Circus-2" is located at an altitude of about 2000 m under the Black Pyramid mountain (2375 m - the highest high point descent at the resort). "Circus 3" is located right behind it. There is also a chairlift (K-8) from the Upper Town station, which takes you to a height of 1130 m.

“Gorki Gorod” has trails for all categories of riders. The third stage of the Main Cable Car, which starts from the top, is suitable for confident skiers and snowboarders; the second stage has tracks of medium difficulty and an excellent training track for beginners.

Under “Circus-2” there is a ramp to the “Eastern Sector” ski area. It is connected to the Upper City station by one gondola lift (K-10) and three chairlifts (K-11, K-12, K-13). In the upper part of the “Eastern Sector” there are difficult red tracks, in the lower part there are green and blue tracks that are convenient for training.

Black tracks

The climate of Krasnaya Polyana is ideal for lovers of powder: soft, without severe frosts, and at the same time with heavy, prolonged snowfalls. Their peak usually occurs at the end of January - beginning of February.

The resort has four freeride zones: two in the Central and two in the Eastern sector of the resort. All of them are located above 1000 meters above sea level, where the softest and fluffiest snow is. These sections are very difficult and unpredictable and can only be ridden with special training.

Evening skiing in winter

From 1130 m to 960 m.

For those who do not have the opportunity to learn to ride during the day, the resort offers the opportunity to learn by the light of the night sky. In the 2017/2018 winter season, two trails are available for evening skiing: “blue” (8E) and “green” (8A), which are equipped with an artificial snowmaking and lighting system, which makes evening skiing enjoyable and safe. During the evening skiing period, you can also use the drag ropeway (K-9) with a length of about 300 m, which is most suitable for beginners.

In the evening, we are pleased to offer our guests a full range of related services: rental of ski equipment, classes with experienced instructors, as well as a variety of food outlets where you can have fun with a friendly company.

Attention!

We do not recommend trying your hand at “black” trails and freeride areas for those who have recently started riding. You risk not being able to cope with a difficult area, which can be fraught with various injuries. There are many dangers here that we never tire of warning our guests about.

Most routes end in drops and rocks, so before you set off on them, you need to know the exits that you can use. For this purpose, novice riders need to contact professional off-piste instructors, who are offered by the resort's accredited instructor schools. Their services cost from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles per person per day, including training and equipment.

We remind you that under no circumstances should you drive in an unknown direction following someone’s trail. This mark on the descent could have been left by a resort employee who knows the area well and is much better prepared than you.

Before going on a trip, it would be a good idea to imagine in advance how to get to the place where the hotel is located, where the nearest shops, cafes and restaurants are, attractions and other necessary and not so necessary places and objects. And if you are going on vacation to a resort associated with active recreation, especially with skiing or hiking, I would like to imagine in advance what awaits you in this regard. Well, if we are talking about a vacation at the Krasnaya Polyana resort, then such maps and diagrams are definitely worth looking at in advance, and even better, saving them in your smartphone or tablet so that they are always at hand. However, as a last resort, paper versions tourist guides, which you can always purchase on the spot, as long as no one cancels :)

Scheme map of the Krasnaya Polyana resort

Those who are going to visit Krasnaya Polyana for the first time, as a rule, do not have a very good idea what kind of places this is, what is generally called “Krasnaya Polyana” (in the tourist sense), how far is Rosa Khutor, and indeed, what is located in the surrounding area and how far away you will have to get there and how high to climb. We have already discussed the topic of choosing a specific Krasnaya Polyana resort, but first it will be very useful to carefully study the map of Krasnaya Polyana (the entire resort). Click on the picture to open full-size images!

Those who are going to Krasnaya Polyana for the first time for a ride should undoubtedly look at the map diagram of all the slopes and descents:

I couldn’t find a tourist map of the village of Kranaya Polyana, and you’re unlikely to find it either - there are practically no tourist sites and places there, mostly residential buildings and hotels, only one ski lift, and if there is a need, you can

Gorki-Gorod (Estosadok) Map

Now let's move on to more detailed diagrams. The largest tourist center (in terms of the number of hotel beds exactly) today is the village of Estosadok, also known as the Gorki Gorod resort. There is already an official tourist guide map here, which includes a list of objects, including Upper town:

There is a small map that is simpler:

Of course, a map of slopes and pistes on the slopes of Gorki-Gorod:

For lovers of summer views active rest There is this option, including eco-trails for mountain hiking:

Gazprom-Laura. Resort Map

The most isolated resort in Krasnaya Polyana is Gazprom. Maps of the resort village itself, but there is a map diagram of the slopes and trails related to Gazprom-Laura:

Rosa Khutor resort map

The most famous and glamorous resort is Rosa Khutor. The most expensive hotels, restaurants and boutiques are concentrated here. On the guide map you can see the location of the main objects:

The slopes and pistes of Rosa Khutor are considered the best in Russia:

On this moment These are all more or less informative and readable maps of the Krasnaya Polyana resorts that I managed to find. As soon as something new appears, I will try to immediately add or update content.

I would like to wish you a good holiday! And don’t forget that everything important and helpful information collected on our page

If you are now urgently solving an issue - where to go to May holidays - then my note can be extremely useful to you! Just read it to the end, watch the video - and everything will become clear to you!

Apartments at the Gorki Gorod resort: when it’s nice to save

In my article, I already wrote that one of the advantages of the Gorki Gorod resort over Rosa Khutor is availability of a huge number of apartments . And not just any economy rooms without meals, but really nice big apartments in the center of the resort, a stone's throw from the cable car.

Tourists choose apartments at the all-season resort "Gorki Gorod" for various reasons. This and the proximity to the cable car and rental points, a shopping complex, a cinema and a water park will also be a stone's throw away. This includes a bunch of different cafes and restaurants right in the apartment buildings, because all the first floors of the buildings are just such establishments. But from the second floor and above there are apartments.

In principle, I have already seen what these apartments are like. But it’s one thing to look, and quite another thing to live in such rooms. Because this is the only way to evaluate all their pros and cons.

Looking ahead, I’ll say that there are almost no downsides. But here, as always, we need a golden mean between price and quality. But with this in the apart-hotel Gorki Gorod, everything is sooooo amazing! However, read on.

How to book

Book a room in apart-hotel Gorki Gorod only possible through the website tour operator "Biblio-Globus". The nice girl at the reception said that this operator had bought the ENTIRE room stock of the apart-hotel, and even if she wanted to, she would not be able to sell the room to us at the reception desk. Well, we didn't insist. We went to the “biblik” website and five minutes later we were the happy owners of a confirmed reservation for a one-bedroom apartment.

We approached the counter again, with our passports, and they began to find a free room for us. Yes, you cannot book a specific room. You can only indicate in the notes to the armor what kind of body you would like or some other parameters that are important to you. We will TRY to take your wishes into account whenever possible.

Another important point— upon check-in you will be asked 5000 rubles as deposit. Either on your bank card A security deposit of 5,000 rubles per apartment will be blocked for the entire period of stay. After checking the number, the blocking will be removed. But in Depending on the issuing bank of your card, the unlocking time can vary from 1 to 30 days! Therefore, it is better to deposit money in cash. That's what we did.

By the way, I also liked the atmosphere at the reception. Cozy waiting furniture is more reminiscent of an expensive hotel than an economical apartment:

And for guests with children there is such convenience in the form of a children's corner:

By general rules, check-in begins after 14:00, and you must vacate your room on the day of the tour before 12:00. But I advise you to come a little earlier - by 12 o’clock there will be a lot of tourists checking out at the reception, and they will all get their deposit back, and this takes a certain amount of time...

Let's go to the rooms!

So, we received the keys to our apartments, we are going to move into them. We got an apartment in Building 33, on the 4th floor.

There are a lot of buildings. And if you look at this diagram of the resort, you can figure out in advance which building to ask for when checking into the apartment:

We booked A one-bedroom apartments with an area of 45 meters. Bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom (in our case, two bathrooms) - this is essentially the two-room apartment we got. Capacity - up to three people. A third person can be accommodated on a fold-out sofa or a Euro folding bed.

On the resort website Gorki City We have already read the following information about the rooms:

In the room:

Free high-speed Wi-Fi; LCD TV, satellite TV (more than 100 TV channels); some rooms have a French (outdoor/indoor) balcony or terrace; electronic safe; fully equipped kitchen (kettle, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher , minimum set of dishes); direct telephone line; iron and ironing board; bath accessories and cosmetics. The beds are single beds only.

All apartments are equipped with individual thermostats that regulate heating and air conditioning systems when operating in the cold.

And now, guys, look at what it looks like in reality, in our video. I immediately draw your attention - it consists of two parts: in the first we show SINGLE BEDROOM apartments, and in the second - apartments with 2 bedrooms:

Not bad, right? I lived in apartments in France and Turkey, Greece and Vietnam. And I can safely say that the apartments at the Gorki Gorod resort are very decent compared to many that I have seen.

I’ll post the photos again for those who didn’t have time to see everything in the video.

This is what your kitchen will look like:

Here you can easily cook everything that your children or you yourself are used to eating - an electric stove, a set of knives, a pot and a frying pan are at your disposal. What you prepare in the evening can be heated in the microwave in the morning, and a spacious refrigerator will allow you to store a supply of food for a whole week. Washing the dishes won’t be a problem either: we put everything in the dishwasher and went for a ride up the mountain.

Two bathrooms will allow you to quickly get ready in the morning without interfering with each other:

Although the beds in the bedrooms are single, the mattresses are very comfortable - you sleep great!

There are two types of pillows - larger and smaller. Which is a huge plus for me personally - I like to sleep on small pillows, but it’s convenient to read before bed, propped up with a large one. The wardrobe in the bedrooms is quite spacious - the contents of your suitcase can fit in it without any problems.

Next about the living room. I was satisfied with everything in it - the upholstered furniture is moderately hard, so as not to sink in headlong ;-), a coffee table on which it is convenient to lay out a laptop or any kind of food while watching TV. The colors of the furniture and curtains are dull, muted, and in general the style of the apartments is closer to minimalism.

Living room in one bedroom apartment

Maybe the decor will seem modest to some, but I would be very happy with such minimalism in own apartment— I don’t like it when the interior is overloaded with details...

In general, we enjoyed living in the comfortable one-bedroom Gorki Gorod apartments so much that we decided to extend the pleasure and book another night in them. But for this night only two bedroom apartments . And we decided - you can’t stop living beautifully, we’ll spend the night like a queen! As you understand from the video, we were very lucky: we booked these apartments for ridiculous money!

Again the same procedure at the reception: making a deposit, receiving a key... And here we are again in a cozy living room, sitting drinking southern wine and having dinner with a salad from the nearest Perekrestok hypermarket (since the entrance to it is right opposite the entrance to our apartments, this time we got building 7, 2nd floor)

Well, what else can I tell you about staying in apartments at the Gorki Gorod resort? I can add the following touches to the overall idyllic picture:

In the morning, it’s convenient to leave the apartment on the street and go for a run along the embankment;
There is no washing machine in the apartments; but there is a laundry service, where washing will cost you from 150 rubles;
Here and there there are small “jambs” in the form of falling tiles or traces of children’s art on the wallpaper;
The sound insulation is very good, you won’t hear noise from the road or the river with the windows closed;
using the keys to your apartment you can go to the cable car and climb to level +960 of the Gorki Gorod resort, and an unlimited number of times;
using the same keys you can visit Sochi Casino Resort without making a deposit;
if you come to Gorki Gorod by car, you will be provided with parking for your car, although not for free - for 250 rubles per day;
When you go to bed, it will be pleasant to stroll through the large, well-kept area around the apartment.

That's something like this, friends. If there is anything else you are interested in, ask in the comments below the article. Some of you write me questions on social networks, which is also an option, of course, but there are so many messages there, and even more advertising spam, that I simply don’t see some of your messages... So it’s better to ask here. And don’t forget to like the article and bookmark our blog if this information was useful to you.

This is where I will end the article.

Under Circus 2 there is a ramp to the Eastern Sector ski area. In the upper part of the Eastern sector there are difficult red tracks, in the lower part there are green and blue tracks that are convenient for training.

Work is provided

Evening skiing in winter

From 1460 m to 960 m.

For evening skiing, the following tracks are available: “blue” 2B and 8E, “green” (8A), which are equipped with an artificial snowmaking and lighting system, which makes evening skiing enjoyable and safe.

During the evening skiing period, you can also use the drag ropeway (K-9) with a length of about 300 m, which is most suitable for beginners.

Black tracks

The climate of Krasnaya Polyana is ideal for lovers of powder: soft, without severe frosts, and at the same time with heavy, prolonged snowfalls. Their peak, as a rule, occurs at the end of January - beginning of February.

This year the resort has allocated four freeride zones: two in the Central and two in the Eastern sector of the resort. All of them are located above 1000 meters above sea level, where the softest and fluffiest snow is. These sections are very difficult and unpredictable and can only be ridden with special training.

Attention!

We do not recommend trying your hand at black trails and freeride areas for those who have recently started riding. You risk not being able to cope with a difficult area, which can be fraught with various injuries. There are many dangers here that we never tire of warning our guests about.

If you want to be the first to ski on fresh snow immediately after a snowfall, then choose a hotel in the Upper Town. You can climb to the beginning of the descent directly from the hotel - just like returning from the mountain - right to the doorstep. The lifts start operating at 9:00, so you can start your descent as early as 9:15-9:20.

In the “Lower City” there are two hotels and the main apart-complexes, SPA complexes, sports facilities, a shopping gallery, a congress center, gourmet restaurants, children's playgrounds, and an indoor water park. Entertainment is mainly concentrated in this part of the resort, and therefore Gorki Gorod +540 is more suitable for fun and active recreation.

The “Upper City” is to some extent reminiscent of the resort settlements of the Mediterranean. Here you will find high-quality apartments, 7 hotels with 996 rooms, and a huge SPA center (9000 square meters). This part of the resort is chosen by those who prefer comfort, peace and privacy on vacation.

Those who love skiing and mountains are drawn here, first of all, to the “Mountain Carousel”. The complex is located on the territory of a resort in the village of Esto-Sadok on the slopes of the mountains.

“Mountain Carousel” is 27 kilometers of the best ski slopes, which, according to snowboarding and skiing enthusiasts, are in no way inferior to European slopes. The altitude at which the tracks are located ranges from 960 to 1460 meters. They vary in difficulty: “red” and “black”, “green” and “blue” - they are available for both experienced and beginner skiers.

Last season, additional trails and lighted trails for evening skiing were opened in the eastern sector of the resort. And if there is a problem with snow, it can be easily solved with the help of snow cannons, which make the mountain slopes perfect at night. The use of artificial snow is a guarantee that mountain slopes and skiers will not be left without snow under any circumstances. And the winter season, as expected, will last until the very end of April.

12 chairlifts and gondola lifts deliver skiers to the mountain slopes (transfer “steps” are located at an altitude of 960 m, 1459 m and 2200 m). The ascent on each section of the cable car takes up to 15 minutes on average. And to get from the launch site (altitude 540 meters) to the “Circus-3” zone (the farthest point) it will take a little more than an hour.

The resort offers ski equipment rental. Instructors are always ready to give lessons and conduct master classes for beginner skiers.

Little guests are given special care here. For them, under the guidance of trained children's instructors, lessons on mastering skiing and snowboarding are organized at the children's ski school. Special slopes have been created for children's skiing, which are ascended in safe lift cabins.

Gorki City Mall

But you can have fun at the resort, not only by skiing. Many interesting activities await young and adult guests of the resort at the Gorki City Mall shopping and entertainment center, opened in February of this year. There are more than 100 attractions for children, shopping areas, night club, bowling, air hockey, digital cinema. In this center there is a place to have a tasty snack, including for children.

The highlight of the Gorki City Mall shopping center is, of course, the Mountain Beach water park.

This unique beach with natural warm sand (it is also heated in winter) is located directly under the transparent roof of the shopping and entertainment center, allowing the rays of the sun to pass through. There is a lot of sun, a wave pool with imitation of ocean waves, 7 water slides of varying heights and difficulties, a large heated pool, a jacuzzi, and a shallow children's pool. You can have fun and relax in the water park all year round.

This option for a comprehensive holiday is especially attractive for those who are interested not only in beach pleasures.
