KRASNAYA POLYANA ALPINE MEADOWS TOUR

KRASNAYA POLYANA ALPINE MEADOWS TOUR. ONE DAY TREK IN THE MOUNTAINS.

It is an energetic walk along the most beautiful one-day route in Krasnaya Polyana where you can get a bird’s eye view of everything: from the Olympic venues to the bears in Alpine meadows.

 

TREK ROUTE TO BZERPI CORNICE

Right after you take a cable car to the top you will be impressed: you can see all the Olympic venues, Jumping center, Sliding track, biathlon complex “Laura”, Rosa Khutor Olympic village. Then the magic wood of a fern, century firs and fir-trees awaits us. Following the pass we will go up to subtropical magnificent meadows full of blossoming rhododendron. You will be amazed and feel like a kid again by the snow in July. Beautiful views of the Alpine meadows, blossoming flowers, mountain streams and the blinding snow will accompany us all the way to the lodge on Bzerpi cornice. Near the lodge, we will make a small picnic. Here you can afoord to lay down in the grass. After the rest, we will go  back by other pass through the mountain Southern Tabunnaya . We will be going through the plateau covered with flowers and enjoy the views of Bzerpi cornice, Aibga ridge and Rosa Khutor resort.

I would call this walk “under heaven, among clouds and flowers”.

AS A RESULT: GETTING EMOTIONS, IMPRESSIONS ENERGY AND CHEERFULNESS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR.
