The observation deck Rosa Pik is located on the territory of the ski complex Rosa Khutor, at an altitude of 2320 meters – the top of the mountain ridge Aibga. Not the most important, because the neighborhood is still Top Stone Pillar as much as 2509 meters high, which no longer go lifts. On Rosa Pik people are unloaded to slide one by one from the two slopes of the ridge. Even those who do not consider themselves an athlete and arrived at Rosa Peak in casual clothes, there is something to do.
The first is the restaurant “Height 2320”, and the second is a viewing Playground Rose Peak. You can even stare at people with skis and snowboarding or touch a special mountain technique that paves the route, but most importantly, why people come here – beauty.

Rosa Pik Observation Deck
I told about the restaurant in more detail and with photos in another article, but about Rosa Peak I can write the following: if the sky is too tight clouds, go here for beautiful views is not necessary. Yes it’s creepy commonplace, but we are all human, and usually hope for the best outcome even in the most unfavorable situation. As in my case, when the first four days of my arrival were rich in rain, fog and overcast sky. I climbed Rosa Peak several times, but purposefully sway without gear, gaze at the species and drink tea in the restaurant – broke out only once.
And already from the Olympic Village I was clear that at the top, Most likely, there is nothing to do, and even if Rosa Pik broke through the clouds – then from top to bottom nothing will be visible. However, the Russian maybe prevailed, and I went to the funicular. The whole climb took from strength 30 minutes with one change, which I was very pleased – with me in some terribly sweaty comrades were driving in the cabin (winter, a lot of skiers). Intercepting fresh air and ceiling with athletes in line (in the morning there is really a crowd in the subway), I went out on top, around restaurant height 2320. The observation deck Rosa Pik is located behind the restaurant.
Large space with railings and wooden flooring built on the edge of the cliff I have not seen. Hope that the clouds scattered with the morning sun did not come true, and I had to settle for two figures of snowman with skis and board, as well as the scheme of the Caucasus Mountains. I certainly did not give up so immediately and for another hour and a half I grunted in a restaurant, sipping tea on grasses and glancing out the window at the dazzling white snow. Not wait, upset and moved back to the elevator, which slowly crawled down and ten seconds later I suddenly found myself under the ceiling of gray clouds – and here I got my panoramic view of the ridge and the valley. Even without tops and snatches – it was awesome!
Rose Peak in winter
In winter, they are mostly not glaring, but rolling around, after all. winter resort. It seems to me that it is in the winter, very few people come here. Comes for a walk. And housing prices are more expensive, and people really are a lot can be, especially on days of events.

Rose Peak in summer
But in the summer, everything is much simpler. Hikers who came to wander on the mountains on the fingers count, so there are mostly vacationers from Sochi and Adler, who arrived for one day (usually without overnight), to just climb the Rose Peak to the lookout. Therefore, no queues on the lift, you can usually even ride in the booth in proud loneliness to fully enjoy the silence and views.
Information to visit
Here you can climb on the promenade or the usual ski pass, which is bought for skiing. It is valid for the entire cable car. roads, for all the lifts in Rosa Khutor, including the recently opened Southern slope. I highly recommend a ride there, nice and beautiful trails. Be sure to take your sunglasses in the winter – from snow cuts eyes and it is impossible to properly consider anything around.
Winter
The price for winter skipass depends on the month and the number of necessary days: 2650-2950 rubles for 1 day per person. In the spring of April 9, 1500 rub. If you take a few days at a time, the price of one day falls. The cheapest “Seasonal”, but then you have to live in Sochi, so that repel. Here are the prices for ski passes.
Summer
In the summer season from May 1 to November 3) you just buy walking ticket “Path to the heights + Mendelih Waterfalls Park”. It costs 951 rubles / person, family for a few people cheaper. Here is ticket prices.
The tour ticket includes 1 descent and 1 ascent on the main cable car (Olympia, Forest Reserve, Caucasus Express), ski lift Wolf Rock and Edelweiss ski lift on the southern slope. Last needed in order to get into the park waterfalls. I recommend it beautifully. Opens in June.
Opening hours “Olympia”: 8:30 – 23:45 Opening hours “Zapovedny Forest “: 8:30 – 19:45 Working hours Caucasus Express: 8:40 – 19:30 Opening hours of “Edelweiss”: 10:30 – 16:30
So you need to leave Waterfall Park no later than 16:30, and leave with a lookout at Rose Peak at 19:45.
Also in the summer, open the route to the Stone Pillar (2509 m), approximately 1.5-2 hours on foot from Rose Peak, I recommend.
