Rosa Khutor
Russia
1 / 36Rosa Khutor ski resort is in Krasnaya Polyana (Sochi), southern Russia. It has 102 km of slopes and 27 lifts for skiing and snowboarding.
Trail information
Rosa Khutor was built for the 2014 Olympics on the flanks of the Aibga ridge above Krasnaya Polyana, and its vertical of almost 1,600 metres is the largest in Russia. From the base at 940 m gondolas climb to the plateau and the former Olympic village, then on to Rosa Peak. The Olympic legacy shows in the layout: wide racing pistes sit alongside wooded runs lower down. The Black Sea is forty kilometres away down the Mzymta gorge - you can ski in the morning and walk the Sochi seafront in the evening.

What visitors say about the resort
Rosa Khutor is most often praised for its scale and grooming: a vertical drop of more than 1.5 km, long pistes from Rosa Pik down, and a level of service unusual for the Russian mountains. The lifts are also singled out for praise - complaints about queues are noticeably less frequent than at neighboring resorts.
The main complaints are the price and the weather. A lift pass and accommodation in Krasnaya Polyana cost about as much as in the Alps, while the lower ski area is often shrouded in fog and affected by rain: in February it can be raining at the bottom while a snowstorm is raging above. During holidays and weekends, visitors write about crowds at the lower lifts and in restaurants. The most common advice is to go on weekdays and stay higher up, at Rosa Plato.
