Gorky city apartments. Tours to the hills city apartments apart-hotel. What is personal data
It began in 2001, when the development and arrangement of the Gornaya Karusel ski complex began in Esto-Sadok. With Sochi receiving the right to host the 2014 Winter Games, construction of the Olympic media village began on the territory of the “Mountain Carousel”. It was this that became the basis of the future large-scale resort, which has now mastered 4 heights - 540 m, 960 m, 1500 m and 2200 m above sea level.
One of the authors of the ski resorts of the famous Courchevel, the French architect Pierre Diener, took part in the development of the Gorki Gorod project.
In addition to the media village, the resort was represented at the 2014 Games by the unique Russian Hills springboard complex, which has now become a national training center and venue for international competitions.
Today “Gorki Gorod” is ready to receive up to 50 thousand guests; hotels of famous international chains and cozy apartments are distributed throughout the “Upper” and “Lower” cities. The “Lower City” was built in Esto-Sadok, along the embankment of the Mzymta River. It is convenient to walk here, there is its own multi-level shopping and entertainment center, many cafes and restaurants, clubs, all the infrastructure necessary for skiing and a cable car station. “Upper City” is the territory of premium category hotels and spa centers at an altitude of 960 m. A bonus to staying here is beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys of Krasnaya Polyana.
How to get there
First you need to get to Adler or Sochi. There are many options, but the easiest way is by plane. Sochi International Airport receives direct and charter flights from more than 60 cities in Russia, near and far abroad. Several airlines connect the ski capital of the country with the official capital. Direct tickets from Moscow, even in high season, can be purchased for 1600-3900 RUB, the flight will take about 2.5 hours. Prices on the page are indicated for November 2019.
From the airport to Esto-Sadok we go by bus, train, shuttle or taxi. Tickets for municipal buses No. 105 and 135 from Adler to Krasnaya Polyana cost 160 RUB. Buses run every hour from 5:40 to 18:40. Travel on Skybus buses is more expensive - 400 RUB per seat, but there are flights at 21:00, 0:00 and 2:30. Get off at the Marriott, GORKY GOROD MALL or Gorki Gorod ticket office stops.
Branded “Swallows” run from Sochi and Adler up to 6 times a day. We go to the final station “Rosa Khutor”, from there on foot or by taxi. A taxi within Krasnaya Polyana costs about 200-500 RUB, for short distances about 200 RUB.
You can also take a taxi from the airport. During the high season, it is better to order a car in advance through one of the network dispatch services; the trip will cost 1300-2000 RUB. Private owners in winter and at odd hours can request 3000 RUB. But in the summer, when the influx of people wanting to get to Krasnaya Polyana and Esto-Sadok subsides, you can negotiate a price of 500-700 RUB.

A new height for those who have already conquered all the slopes of the Mountain Carousel. For off-piste ski trips, special routes have been laid through protected areas. Thanks to lightweight alpine skis, riders with an average level of training will be able to access slopes that do not have their own cable cars and lifts. You can go on a solo walk for a couple of hours, or you can do something much more adventurous and interesting - book a real walking trip for several days, accompanied by highly qualified guides.
Accommodation in Gorki Gorod
For the new season, Gorki Gorod opens its doors to 8 hotels and apartments in the 3, 4 and 5 star categories. Three hotels are located in the “Lower City”, at an altitude of 540 m above sea level. Another 5 are in the “Upper City”, at 960 m. The cost of one night in five-star rooms “Solis Sochi”, “Rixos Krasnaya Polyana” or “Marriott Sochi Krasnaya Polyana” starts from 8100-15 600 RUB.

The three-star standard at Gorki Plaza starts from 4,300 RUB.
Cafes and restaurants
The level and variety of drinking and eating establishments at the Gorki Gorod resort are simply off the charts. If you set yourself the goal of fully evaluating the cuisine and service in all the cafes, restaurants and bars of the “Lower” and “Upper” cities, then you need to take a vacation for at least two weeks, not really counting on skiing, since more than 40 of the brightest catering outlets await guests here formats and directions.
Gorki Gorod restaurants offer Russian, international, European, Italian, Mediterranean, Oriental, Pan-Asian and original cuisine. The average check in establishments ranges from 1000-3000 RUB. One of the most unusual places not only in the resort, but in the whole of Krasnaya Polyana, is perhaps the Lebanese restaurant Layali Oriental Lounge. It’s worth coming here not only for the original and exquisite cuisine, but also for the atmosphere created by oriental music and belly dancing. Dinning at Layali Oriental Lounge will cost an average of 2000 RUB per guest. Another unique place is the Brusnika restaurant; it is notable at least for the fact that it is located at an altitude of 2200 m above sea level. The food is generous and tasty, the average bill is from 1500 RUB. On Fridays and Saturdays they organize Dj sets and après-ski parties. The only negative is that “Brusnika” is open only until 17:00.
You can have an inexpensive and tasty snack or sit with friends in one of the resort’s cafes and bars. In total there are more than a dozen of them on the territory of Gorki Gorod. Average check: 1500 RUB. The good mood bar "Orange Cat" is especially notable for its opening hours - it is the only establishment of the resort that is open all night from 18:00 to 6:00. The Gorki Grand lobby bar is famous for the largest collection of whiskey in the region, and its brother from the Sochi Marriott Krasnaya Polyana is famous for its rich tea list. “Katyusha Plus” is open until midnight, the “trick” is hearty homemade lunches and takeaway food, average bill: 500 RUB. In between skiing, without going down the mountain to the village, go to the “Sugrob” cafe, which is on the second stage of the “Carousel-2” ski lift; sitting by the open fireplace accompanied by warming cocktails and grilled dishes will cost an average of 600-800 RUB . In Mr. Hookah & Mr. Coffee people come for the aromas of hookahs, coffee and teas, and the Cake Shop and Lokum confectioneries are simply a must-visit for those with a sweet tooth of all ages.
The most budget option for lunch, breakfast or dinner is the food court in the Gorky Gorod Mall. Its establishments are open from 10:00 to 22:00, the average check per guest is about 300 RUB. Here you can taste the legendary Ossetian pies, order salad, wok, rolls and sushi, eat sandwiches from Subway or have a hearty lunch of classic Russian cuisine at Mama.ru.
Entertainment at the Gorki Gorod resort
The focus of the resort's off-piste entertainment is the 5-level multifunctional shopping and entertainment center Gorky Gorod Mall. More than 20 different stores await those who miss shopping; all the latest news from world cinema are shown in 4 halls of the StarCinema multiplex cinema. At the Mountain Beach water park it is always +30 °C, even if you can see the snow-capped mountain peaks through the transparent dome. Bowling fans should definitely visit Lucky Strike: the establishment with 8 professionally equipped QubicaAMF lanes is designed in the retro style of classic American bowling clubs. Here you can play air hockey, sit in a bar or test your reactions on various simulators. The FunCity entertainment center is perfect for fun family entertainment. In this city of entertainment there are exciting attractions for children from two years old, for their adult brothers and sisters, and even for parents who have not lost the spirit of excitement and adventure. If you get hungry, feel free to go to the food court of the shopping center. The food is tasty and inexpensive.
If you need to relax and find inner balance, choose one of the resort's four spa complexes. Here you can recharge your morning energy in fitness centers and gyms. By the way, spa services may be free for resort hotel guests. Be sure to clarify this point when booking or checking in; losing such opportunities through ignorance will be unforgivable.
From the category of unusual. Every evening throughout the high season until March 31 at 18:30 and 19:30 in the “Upper City” they promise to organize a projection video show with a fabulous and vibrant story about the mountains. The canvases for the 3D-mapping show will be the facades of hotels in the Gorki Gorod resort. The show is free for everyone, the duration of the program is 10 minutes.
Summer in Gorki Gorod
"Gorki" rightfully classifies itself as an all-season resort - it is not at all necessary to rush here specifically for the virgin snow of the winter slopes. And since spring and autumn in Krasnaya Polyana are very fleeting concepts, almost all non-winter activities can be classified as summer entertainment. And there’s plenty to keep yourself occupied, even without taking into account the cable car excursions that are standard for all resort guests.
For example, you can visit the unique Olympic site “Russian Hills”. Competitions and training of athletes on the Gorok springboards take place even in the summer; this is worth seeing and capturing.
When the mountain slopes change their color from white to green, ecological hiking trails of different difficulty levels open in Gorki Gorod. Walking along eco-routes is free, but for some you will have to fork out for a cable car ride. You can also book an individual tour or join a group tour. An hour of useful walking accompanied by an instructor will cost 600 RUB for a one-on-one forced march.
During the warm season, adults and children over 7 years old can test their agility on the routes of the local rope amusement park. Children's and family obstacle courses are located at a height of up to 3 m, adult areas reach 10 m in height. Entertainment for the whole day without restrictions on routes costs 800 RUB for all guests of the park.
Bike
A whole separate entertainment industry with its own infrastructure and features. For regular walks around the “Upper” and “Lower” parts of the resort, as well as other areas of Esto-Sadk, we recommend renting a regular cruise bike. The adult version will cost 800 RUB per day, the “tandem” version costs 1400 RUB, and the children’s version costs 600 RUB.
Connoisseurs of two-wheeled off-road vehicles will find a vehicle to suit their needs at the Gornaya Karusel rental complex. Entry-level adult mountain bikes will cost 1,150 RUB per day of rental, more expensive professional bikes - up to 2,400 RUB, junior bikes - 600-800 RUB. Don’t forget protection, goggles and a helmet; a full set will cost about 1200 RUB. Now you can go to conquer the “Gorki Bike Park”, located at an altitude of almost 1000 m above sea level. Here, riders have access to more than 7 km of trails of varying difficulty - from gentle green trails to high-speed descents, with elevation changes of up to 340 m, sharp turns and convenient rest points.
Weather in Gorki Gorod
When going skiing in Gorki Gorod, take care of lightweight and breathable equipment - winters here are snowy, but warm and humid. The ski season opens in the second half of December and lasts almost until May. There is no need to be afraid of frosts - the powerful ridges of the Caucasus Mountains do not let in cold from outside, and also do not release sea heat, creating a unique mountain-sea microclimate in Krasnaya Polyana and its environs. In May it quickly becomes warm, everything blooms and turns green before our eyes. Already in June you can come down from the mountains, tired of long walks along tourist trails, and swim in the Black Sea. In summer, the resort is nice and pleasant, sometimes it gets hot, but not critical. You can wear light clothing almost until November. You can and should come to breathe fresh mountain air at any time of the year.
Gorki City is an all-season ski resort located in protected and beautiful places in Krasnaya Polyana, with modern hotels and apartments, spa centers, restaurants, developed infrastructure for sports and comfortable recreation.
This is much more than just a ski resort. People come here to relax and have fun all year round. Moreover, skiing can be a pleasant addition to the overall program, but not the main goal.
Ski resort "Gorki Gorod"
The resort can be roughly divided into two parts. One – “Gorki Gorod” +540 – is located at an altitude of 540 meters above sea level. Its other part is “Gorki Gorod” +960 - respectively, at an altitude of 960 meters. They are connected to each other by cable cars and roads.
In the “Lower City” there are two hotels and the main apart-complexes, SPA complexes, sports facilities, a shopping gallery, a congress center, gourmet restaurants, children's playgrounds, and an indoor water park. Entertainment is mainly concentrated in this part of the resort, and therefore Gorki Gorod +540 is more suitable for fun and active recreation.
The “Upper City” is to some extent reminiscent of the resort settlements of the Mediterranean. Here you will find high-quality apartments, 7 hotels with 996 rooms, and a huge SPA center (9000 square meters). This part of the resort is chosen by those who prefer comfort, peace and privacy on vacation.
Those who love skiing and mountains are drawn here, first of all, to the “Mountain Carousel”. The complex is located on the territory of a resort in the village of Esto-Sadok on the slopes of the mountains.
“Mountain Carousel” is 27 kilometers of the best ski slopes, which, according to snowboarding and skiing enthusiasts, are in no way inferior to European slopes. The altitude at which the tracks are located ranges from 960 to 1460 meters. They vary in difficulty: “red” and “black”, “green” and “blue” - they are available for both experienced and beginner skiers.
Last season, additional trails and lighted trails for evening skiing were opened in the eastern sector of the resort. And if there is a problem with snow, it can be easily solved with the help of snow cannons, which make the mountain slopes perfect at night. The use of artificial snow is a guarantee that mountain slopes and skiers will not be left without snow under any circumstances. And the winter season, as expected, will last until the very end of April.
12 chairlifts and gondola lifts deliver skiers to the mountain slopes (transfer “steps” are located at an altitude of 960 m, 1459 m and 2200 m). The ascent on each section of the cable car takes up to 15 minutes on average. And to get from the launch site (altitude 540 meters) to the “Circus-3” zone (the farthest point) it will take a little more than an hour.
The resort offers ski equipment rental. Instructors are always ready to give lessons and conduct master classes for beginner skiers.
Little guests are given special care here. For them, under the guidance of trained children's instructors, lessons on mastering skiing and snowboarding are organized at the children's ski school. Special slopes have been created for children's skiing, which are ascended in safe lift cabins.
Gorki City Mall
But you can have fun at the resort, not only by skiing. Many interesting activities await young and adult guests of the resort at the Gorki City Mall shopping and entertainment center, opened in February of this year. There are more than 100 attractions for children, shopping areas, a nightclub, bowling alley, air hockey, and a digital cinema. In this center there is a place to have a tasty snack, including for children.
The highlight of the Gorki City Mall shopping center is, of course, the Mountain Beach water park.
This unique beach with natural warm sand (it is also heated in winter) is located directly under the transparent roof of the shopping and entertainment center. There is a lot of sun, a wave pool with imitation of ocean waves, 7 water slides of varying heights and difficulties, a large heated pool, a jacuzzi, and a shallow children's pool. You can have fun and relax in the water park all year round.
Summer holidays at the Gorki Gorod resort
In the summer season, Gorki Gorod provides a lot of options for active recreation in the mountains, which can be combined with relaxing idleness in the Imereti Lowland on the beach. This option for a comprehensive holiday is especially attractive for those who are interested not only in beach pleasures.
To test how strong and resilient you are, you can go to conquer the Rope Park, go for a walk or horseback ride along eco-trails with a visit to relict forests, the Medvezhiy waterfall and other protected areas of nature, do yoga in the mountains, go mountain biking down the speedway at the Bike Park.
How much does a ski pass cost?
The cost of tickets depends on their type (excursion tickets or sports ski passes), on the category of tourists (student, child, discount), on the zone and time of validity. In addition, its price may change at the discretion of the administration.

Everyone has heard about Krasnaya Polyana, near Sochi, and about Rosa Khutor. But Gorki Gorod, which is located just on the way to Rosa Khutor, is not yet known to all beach lovers. Although this place is certainly not interesting for lovers of beaches and sand. Gorki City is a ski resort.
Gorki Gorod is located in the most beautiful and protected places in the Krasnaya Polyana area. Modern hotels and apartments, spa centers, and restaurants have been built here. A developed infrastructure has been created for sports and comfortable recreation.
This is not just a ski resort. You can come here not only in the winter season. Relaxing and having fun in Gorki Gorod, as well as in Rosa Khutor, is possible all year round. And skiing can be a pleasant addition to the overall program, but not the main goal.
All-season and mountain resort Gorki Gorod
Today “Gorki Gorod” is an entire city with a full-fledged infrastructure, where hundreds of thousands of tourists from Russia and abroad vacation throughout the year. Therefore the full name sounds like all-season and mountain resort "Gorki Gorod".
Gorki City is located on four levels:
- +540m – “Lower City”,
- +960m – “Upper City”,
- +1500m and +2200m – cable cars, ski slopes, excursion sites and routes.
The highest point of the routes is the Black Pyramid peak of the Aibga ridge, mark + 2375m above sea level.
A road and cable car connect the “Lower” and “Upper” levels.
The resort can provide its services to about 10 thousand people at a time. The infrastructure of the resort is described in this article.
Accommodation
The resort has 11 of its own high-class hotels with a total capacity of more than 3,000 rooms and a one-time capacity of 6.5 thousand people. There are also hotels of famous brands Rixos and Marriott here.
In the “Lower City” there are two hotels and the main apart-complexes, sports facilities, SPA complexes, a shopping gallery, a congress center, restaurants, playgrounds and an indoor water park. Places for entertainment are mainly concentrated in this part of the resort.
The “Upper City” in appearance is very reminiscent of the resort settlements of the Mediterranean. Here you can stay in high-class apartments by choosing one of seven 7 hotels. At +960 m there is also a huge SPA center (9000 square meters). This part of the resort is visited by those who prefer comfort, peace and privacy on vacation.
Project history
The resort in this place began to be created even before the Olympics. This was a project of the administration of the Krasnodar region and a group of private investors. It was planned to build a ski complex, which is called “Mountain Carousel”.
When it became known that the 2014 Olympics would be held in Sochi, the company managing the complex decided to take on an important mission - the construction of a media village at the resort. This village still exists today. It was here that media representatives lived and worked, telling the whole world about competitions such as skiing, bobsleigh, biathlon, freestyle or ski jumping. The tallest, safest and most expensive ski jump in the world was built here.
It was in Gorki Gorod that the center of sports and cultural life of the mountain cluster of the 2014 Winter Olympics was located. And this is no coincidence. The development of the sports and tourist complex “Mountain Carousel” had already begun at that time. It is still the largest ski resort in Krasnaya Polyana. Only here the territory made it possible to build an entire city and provide accommodation for Olympic participants.
Ours didn’t skimp on design either. The French architect Pierre Diener, who became famous for designing the ski facilities of Courchevel, was invited as a consultant.
Mountain Carousel
Those who love snow, skiing and mountains are attracted here, first of all, by the “Mountain Carousel”. Do not confuse Mountain Carousel and Gorki Gorod. It's not the same thing. Gorki Gorod is a resort as a whole, and on its territory there is a complex Mountain Carousel(in a village called Esto-Sadok on the slopes of the mountains).
Mountain Carousel offers 27 kilometers of ski slopes, which, according to snowboarding and skiing enthusiasts, are in no way inferior to European slopes. The trails are located between altitudes from 960 to 1460 meters. Varying in difficulty: " red" And " black», « green" And " blue" That is, there are options for skiing for both experienced and beginner skiers.
Lighted trails have recently opened for evening skiing. The number of snow cannons that I saw on the slopes in Rosa Khutor and here is amazing. I don't know if they all work, but they do. With their help, they solve the problem that Sochi is the southern and coastal part of Russia, and there is actually a problem with snow here. The resort has the longest skiing season - from December to May.
12 chairlifts and gondola lifts deliver skiers to the mountain slopes. The ascent on each section of the cable car takes up to 15 minutes on average. The transfer sites are located at an altitude of 960 m, 1459 m and 2200 m. And to get from the launch site (altitude 540 meters) to the farthest point “Circus-3” will take a little more than an hour.
Well, like any resort, ski equipment rental works. There are instructors and master classes for beginners.
Ski pass
The cost of tickets depends on their type (excursion or sports ski passes). There are gradations for students, children, beneficiaries, and also depending on the zone and time of action.
Free ticket provided to children under 6 years of age, disabled children, disabled people of the 1st group, WWII veterans and persons over 75 years of age.
On peak days (from December 26 to January 10): an adult sports day ski pass costs 2300 rubles, a child (from 6 to 16 years old) - 1600 rubles, in high season (January 11 - March 31): an adult - 1800 rubles, for children – 1200 rubles.
You can easily find out the cost of ski passes on the official website of the resort.
Gorki City Mall
But enough about skiing. Let's go for a ride, and where to spend time in the evening or in the summer. Both adults and adults with children can have fun at the Gorki City Mall shopping and entertainment center. There are more than 100 attractions for children. For adults, shopping areas, nightclub, bowling, air hockey, digital cinema. There are places to have a tasty snack.
The highlight of the Gorka City Mall is, of course, the Mountain Beach water park located on the roof.
This beach has natural sand, which is even heated in winter. The water park is covered with a transparent roof that allows the sun's rays to pass through. There is a lot of sun here due to the fact that Gorki City is located in the mountains. The water park has a swimming pool with imitation of ocean waves, seven water slides of varying heights and difficulties, a large pool with heated water, a jacuzzi, and a shallow children's pool.
So you can have fun and relax in the Gorki City Mall water park all year round.
Summer holidays at the Gorki Gorod resort
You won’t be able to go skiing in the summer season, but Gorki Gorod still provides plenty of options for active recreation in the mountains. Having relaxed enough on the beaches in the Imereti Lowland (Adler), you can devote a day, or maybe more, to the mountains.
For the strong and resilient, you can go to conquer the Rope Park, walk or horseback ride along eco-trails, visit relict forests, the Medvezhiy waterfall and other protected areas of nature. You can do yoga in the mountains, go mountain biking down the highway at the Bike Park. Dolina 960 4*
