Rosa Khutor slopes

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.
