But the advantages of Krasnaya Polyana are not limited to the wonderful climate. Picturesque nature, an impressive variety of trails of various levels and a huge amount of work invested in the development of the resort by local residents.

By using new scheme you can immediately understand for yourself what our post-Olympic village looks like.

With the opening of the southern slopes of Rosa Khutor, we decided to re-draw the general ski area in Krasnaya Polyana to understand the capabilities of the region.

In recent years, Krasnaya Polyana has again begun to actively develop summer tourism, so we decided to help the resort and its guests by releasing a special summer resort card. Or rather, even two!
