Estosadok and Gorky Gorod

Winter fun Slides Cities – is primarily ups on the slope using the cable car and downhill skiing or snowboarding. Therefore, we will not focus on the main winter activities, let’s move on to those that athletes usually recall in the second turn. Well, or not the athletes themselves, but those who made them a company on this trip.

Unlike summer holidays, in winter you will not have so much opportunities for hiking in the mountains and picnics in nature look not so attractive. However, there is enough options for winter holidays, so as not to get bored during the holidays.

Husky Center  

Husky Center is a kennel, to which they screwed a few more entertainment options for tourists. Besides the dogs themselves here for you have prepared familiarization and educational tours, skating dog sledding and contact with huskies. To hang out with them to stroke, to see how they bite or run after the dog lovers during feeding. The smell is worth a specific, but the atmosphere quite positive. Located at an altitude of 960 meters in the upper City

Tubing

At an altitude of 960 meters, in the Upper Town of the resort Gorky Gorod there is all-season entertainment, which is especially important in the winter, and let’s talk straight – just in winter, the descent from our slide for our human looks like natural pleasure.

Unlike summer tubing, the descent on the cheesecakes here occurs on dense snow, but not on shaggy plastic. And this completely different speed and emotions.

Waterpark Mountain Beach

Gorky Gorod – the only resort town where you will find high-grade shopping and entertainment center even by metropolitan standards. Everything would be prosaic if inside Gorky Gorod Mall besides boutiques and food courts did not accommodate a whole set of all-season entertainment, the largest of which – the water park with this sandy by the beach. Beach games, swimming pools and Jacuzzi, Finnish saunas and massages, animators and entertainment.

Snowshoeing

Feel free to call it snowshoeing. Now this is strange the word gradually comes into use at the resort, combining purely Russian “snowshoes” and ingga ending from English, meaning action. Snowshoeing is probably the only one after skis. option for hiking on snow-covered mountain slopes. Entertainment not from the lungs, but it allows you to move in any direction without falling into the snow to the waist.

Ice Rink Free Ice

An open ice rink is built to the left of the main lift Gorky Gorod, at an altitude of 540 meters (that is, in a valley by the river). The main purpose of the rink – mass skating at circle.

With your skates you can come easily and free of charge, which is much nicer and healthier for the feet.

Esto-Sadok bridge

Works by weekends.

Pyramid in Esto Sadke

The wooden structure, the construction of which was not used nails that in the conditions of modern development of materials for Mounts have long ceased to be a sensation, to be honest. A thousand years ago – yes, it was nonsense, the genius of construction. And now – plastic screeds, glue, drills and milling machines – boring.

The pyramid seems to be exactly copying the tomb of Cheops, in scale 1:29. Built to the design of Professor Proskuryakov, although I googled what kind of professor and did not find information where and in what area this man received a scientific title.

Rosa Khutor

The main resort of Estosadka, where in addition to the mountain slopes and funicular there is still a whole valley with built-up shores of Mzymta, where you will find all-season entertainment for yourself and your family.

Evening sledging

More light, adult and children’s entertainment on the illuminated highway B-52, although children under 10 years old are not allowed in here. Tickets to sleds are sold on the Rosa Plateau at the checkout of the Den. If you at the word “sled” imagine something aluminum, with pop-up back and on a string, then throw it out of my head.

Flacon 1170
