Above the clouds, in the Krasnaya Polyana area, the all-season ski resort “Gorki Gorod” is comfortably located. Before the Sochi Olympics, the resort was called “Mountain Carousel”.
Ski resort Gorki Gorod
During the 2014 Winter Olympics, this was the center of the mountain cluster, from where journalists told the world about the competitions of biathletes, bobsledders, skiers, freestyle skiers and ski jumpers. The mission of the resort is to organize active recreation in the Caucasus Mountains not only in winter, but also in summer, with a wide range of entertainment for all ages.
Why is the resort popular?
Now life at the resort continues to be in full swing, holidays at Gorki Gorod are varied. There is a lot of entertainment for young people, a European level of service, and modern infrastructure.

The opening of the season at the Gorki Gorod ski resort is decorated brightly and colorfully every year. Here you can meet not only Russians, but also tourists from European countries.
Infrastructure Features
The design and construction of the resort followed the British environmental standard BREEM. The authors of the project integrated the infrastructure into the surrounding landscape as harmoniously as possible and used only safe building materials.
The total area of the resort is 864 hectares. It is located on four levels. At an altitude of 540 m is the Lower City, and at an altitude of 960 m is the Upper City. Even higher, at 1,500 m and 2,200 m, there are tasty tourist attractions: cable cars, freeride ski slopes, observation decks and trekking routes. The highest point for descent is 2,375 m. This is the Black Pyramid peak on the Caucasian Aibga ridge.

It is from the Lower Town at +540 m that the cable car begins.
Upper town (+960 m above sea level)

Having climbed the cable car, you find yourself surrounded by small two-story townhouses and chalets, restaurants and bars.
From here it is just a stone's throw from the starting areas and slopes for downhill skiing or snowboarding. In order not to get lost in the variety of ski slopes, you can purchase a paper map or download the Gorki Gorod route map through a mobile application on your smartphone.

History of the resort
“Gorki Gorod” (reviews are given in the article) is a fairly young resort. Even before the Olympics, the administration of the Krasnodar Territory made a decision to create and develop a modern ski complex called “Mountain Carousel”. When Sochi was chosen as the venue for the 2014 Olympics, a project was developed to build a media village. It was supposed to house absolutely all the media whose task was to tell the whole world about the competition. This place was also supposed to be a center of cultural and sports life. The choice fell on the “Mountain Carousel” for a reason, because currently the complex is the largest ski resort in all of Krasnaya Polyana. Only this complex had such a vast territory that it was possible to build an entire city and allow Olympic participants to live in 3,000 rooms.
In 2010, the promising project was approved and received a building permit. When developing the plan, the experience of urban planning of famous European resorts was used. And an architect who designed objects in Courchevel was invited as a consultant.
Currently, the total area of the stunning resort is 863.7 hectares.

Hotel "Gorki Gorod" (Krasnaya Polyana): reviews from tourists
Speaking about the hotel complex, I would like to refer to the reviews of guests who recently vacationed there. Is the Gorki Gorod apart-hotel (Krasnaya Polyana) really that good? Reviews from tourists are mostly positive. Almost all vacationers are very satisfied with their stay at the hotel. Guests especially like the presence of kitchens in the apartments. This makes it possible to significantly save on food. Most tourists take advantage of the opportunity to cook their own food.
According to the guests, the rooms are excellently equipped and have everything you could need during your stay at the Gorki Gorod complex. The 3* apart-hotel (reviews are given in the article) is convenient in all respects: from location to service. The hotel staff is attentive to guests and tries to help in all matters.
But cleaning is an issue on which guests express completely opposite opinions, which gives reason to doubt the quality of room service at the 3* Gorki Gorod hotel. Reviews from guests are quite contradictory, although most people remain incredibly satisfied not only with the rooms, but also with the cleaning and quality of service. Complaints about cleaning appear to be related to the human factor. After all, the complex consists of many buildings, each of which serves its own staff. Apparently, not everyone is lucky with their maids.
According to guests, the hotel is located in an area with excellent infrastructure. Nearby there are entertainment venues, a supermarket with reasonable prices (products are not overpriced), shops and restaurants.

According to guests, there is simply no better entertainment during the cold season. Tourists leave very good reviews about the massage that can be enjoyed in the water park.

Guests of the resort have the opportunity to visit numerous spa complexes: Soul Spa, spa of the Rixos hotel, spa centers of the Gorki and Panorama hotels. Each of these establishments offers a wide range of services and also has its own characteristics. To have an idea about each one, you need to visit all the spa complexes.
