Adler resorts are rightfully considered the best place to spend a vacation in Russia. And there are many different reasons for this. Adler (the Greater Sochi region) has long been popular with millions of tourists, and for good reason. It is worth telling in more detail about what you can do here and how to spend time so that it is remembered for a long time.
Ski fun
If we talk about the resorts of Adler, then the first thing you need to talk about Krasnaya Polyana. This is truly a good place to relax. Krasnaya Polyana is a paradise of the Russian corner with which other ski resorts cannot be compared. Adler gained popularity not only thanks to the picturesque embankments and the bustling nightlife, but also thanks to Krasnaya Polyana.
And it was in this place that part of the Olympic and Paralympic Games of the past, 2014 was held. Krasnaya Polyana is located 40 kilometers from the center of Adler - upstream of the river. Mzymta. You can get to the resort in different ways - by car, bus or train "Swallow". Less than an hour will be required to get to this picturesque place. By the way, the village is located at an altitude of 0.55 km above sea level. It is here that you can enjoy the mountain slopes, humid fresh air and high snow cover.
About accommodation
According to tourists, the ski resorts of Adler (Krasnaya Polyana, Rosa Khutor, Gorki-Gorod, etc.) are a chic vacation spot, but not cheap. There are a lot of different hotels and hotels - mainly five- and four-star ones. So, for example, a double room in the guest house “Grace Project” for a week will cost 77,000 rubles (in winter, at peak season). And this, one can say, is one of the most budget options. There are, of course, places where accommodation will cost about a thousand and a half per day. But there are beds in dormitory rooms, which is, of course, a budget, but not quite a comfortable solution. However, if the financial question of people who want to visit the ski resorts of Adler does not care, it's worth the trip. You can even rent a villa in Krasnaya Polyana - for seven days it will cost about half a million rubles. Not for one person, of course, as many people as you like can live in the villa, but within reasonable limits (which are determined by the number of beds).
Entertainment
Although Adler ski resorts are shocking with prices, you can spend time here with a bang, however, you can stock up on an unlimited card or wallet without a bottom in advance. A full tasty lunch here will cost more than 500 rubles - you need to be prepared for this. But in Krasnaya Polyana there are a lot of shops and convenience stores, where products cost about the same as below, in the city.
So, how can you spend your holidays here? Adler is a resort that pleases with its diversity. There are a lot of tracks, the total length of which is 39 kilometers. Lifts lift people to a height of about 2300 meters above sea level! There is a daily ski pass of about 1600 rubles per day.
Families are advised to stay at the Gazprom Laura complex. There are trails of small and moderate steepness, and besides, you can ride there in the evening. For adults, the cost of a ski pass is about a thousand rubles on weekdays.
Many people like the "Mountain Carousel" - a complex that delights visitors with routes of various difficulty levels. In general, it is for the sake of skis, snowboards and atmosphere that many come to Adler. The resort receives the best reviews - the only thing a tourist can be dissatisfied with (and who came with a very small budget) is the price. Therefore, heading to Krasnaya Polyana, it is worth taking more finances with you - they will come in handy.
Olympic facilities
The vast majority of tourists, having arrived in the resort city of Adler, first of all go to the Olympic Park, to look at the places where the Winter Games were held. Getting to it is easy - many minibuses ply there from the center. In addition, in the Olympic Park you can admire not only the stadiums, torches and the Formula 1 track. Just a short walk away there is a calm and quiet promenade with benches and spacious beaches. Basically, all tourists go to the central beaches, but here the water is much calmer and, most importantly, quieter. Many people care about the question: "Is there an entrance fee?" The answer will please many - no, anyone can get to the beach, like to the Olympic Park, and absolutely free of charge.
Resort town
In this area there is a sanatorium complex called Adlerkurort. There are a huge number of different hotels, hotels, cafes, bars, entertainment and health centers, restaurants, night clubs ...

Any, even the most sophisticated tourist will be satisfied with the quality of service.
Budget options
Many people think that Sochi is the most expensive city in Russia. Resort Adler, of course, does not differ at very low prices.

Because you can easily cook yourself, and it will not hit the budget.
Excursions
Adler resorts are also good because there is entertainment for both young people and older people who love all kinds of excursions.
