Rental

At the Gorki Gorod resort there are several rental points where vacationers can rent equipment for outdoor activities, including skis, snowboards, mountain bikes, equipment and much more. To do this, you need to leave a passport or driver's license as collateral, as well as money, which is returned after the tourist rents out all the equipment.

Many novice skiers and snowboarders who come to the Krasnaya Polyana resorts do not understand which slopes to take their first steps on. These can be found on any route - frozen in front of a steep hill or flying head over heels downwards.

How do they get there? Some people think that the green slopes are too easy and climb the blue ones. But almost all blue trails have sections that are more like the red ones. And then, if there is no way back, the ski lifts are far away, chaos begins - people turn into uncontrollable projectiles, whistling past us.

Others simply cannot find the tracks they need because Krasnopolyansk resorts have become large and it is easy to get lost. And the areas for beginners are so small that they can easily be overlooked.

Now we'll fix everything! Are you with me? Dive for beginners!

Ski slopes for beginners at Rosa Khutor, Gorki Gorod, Gazprom

If you came to our resorts for the first time and have never skied/boarded in big mountains before, then you need to start with the simplest areas.

Why? Because they are almost flat and it is convenient to practice the first movements on them. Because mostly beginners ride here, and they ride slowly - safely. Because in such paddling pools There is no shame in falling - everyone falls here.

These slopes are also short and absolutely not attractive for experienced skiers/snowboarders, so the queues here are not as long as at other lifts during the peak season.

And there are always a lot of kind instructors here, and if anything happens, they will help you.

Once you learn how to turn and control your speed on these tracks, you can move on to blue tracks.

Not all green slopes at the Krasnaya Polyana ski resorts are created equal. If they are the kind the sight of which can easily paralyze a beginner, he or she will never budge. I’ll show you those that are really comfortable for beginners.

To get to the necessary trails at the Rosa Khutor resort, you need to take the Olympia lift from the lower level of Rosa Dolina to the upper station. This level is called Rose Plateau or Mountain Village. That's it, you're there.

You should not go up from below on the Strela lift - it will take you above the required level. From there you will have to go down the B52 highway.

An enlarged section of the map of the Rosa Khutor - Rosa Plateau resort:

Rosa Khutor - green trails for beginners at the Rosa Plateau level

At the Rosa Khutor ski resort, very little space is allocated for beginners - the track along the Chalet chairlift (4-seater) and then the Lilliputian area with a belt lift (magic carpet) for those who are completely green. Both routes are highlighted in red on the map.

Not enough when compared to the total number of tracks.

There are other green slopes on the resort map (B52 and Plateau), but they are not suitable for training, as they are narrow and long paths designed to connect different ski areas and access the ski lifts for descent.

general characteristics

Our resort has ski slopes of varying difficulty levels total length about 30 km from an altitude of +2340 m to +960 m.

Illuminated routes with a total length of about 3 km, evening skiing from +1460 m to +960 m.

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

Difficulty level: 11 blue, 2 green, 14 red, 5 black. 4 freeride zones.

Ski season: from December to May.

The third stage of the Main Cable Car, which starts from the top of +2200 m, is suitable for confident skiers and snowboarders; the second stage (+1460 m) has trails of medium difficulty and an excellent training track for beginners.

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.

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.

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.

Gorki Bike Park trails

The trails are laid at an altitude of 960 to 540 meters above sea level. The total length of downhill trails is more than 7 km with a height difference of 340 m.
