Who doesn’t like to relax ?! Today it will be difficult to find many places where guests with all kinds of needs will be provided with all conditions to relax and improve their health. And at the same time it is not necessary to go somewhere to distant lands. Indeed, if you look carefully, in the Sverdlovsk region you can find many such places, and they are located almost within walking distance from its largest center, which is Yekaterinburg. Ski resort, recreation centers - all this can be found at a distance of no more than 50 kilometers from it. This once again confirms that for a quality vacation, you can not leave the boundaries of your area.
Ski center "Flux"
