How to get there

Adler can be reached both by plane and by rail. The Lastochka electric train will take you to the Gazprom ski resort. The Mountain Tourist Center of Gazprom PJSC is located near the Rosa Khutor resort. The Gazprom and Rosa Khutor stations are nearby. It is easy to get here by bus, taxi or minibus. If you come with your own car, there is a paid car park near the A1 gondola lift.

Gazprom is probably the best option for good piste skiing, family vacations and those people who take their first steps and falls on skis. Also, the entire mountain and beach beau monde gathers here to see people and show themselves. The correct name of the complex is the Gazprom Mountain Tourist Center, although the people mistakenly call it Laura after the name of the river flowing nearby. "Laura" is the name of the ski and biathlon facility upstairs.

In addition to the ski area with ski lifts, the Gazprom GTC includes the five-star Grand Hotel Polyana located at the foot of the mountain, one of the most respectable hotels in Krasnaya Polyana.

How to get there?

You can take the Lastochka to the final station, and from there, walk along the footbridge to the cable car. Or take a bus directly to Gazprom, but check with the drivers, because not all buses go there.

And you can get there in your car. At the bottom of the queue there is a large covered parking, which costs 100 rubles per hour, and if more than 4 hours, then 500 rubles per day. If the car does not climb into the parking lot in height, then it is allowed to leave it next to the parking lot for free. You can also park cars 300 meters from the complex, near the Polyanka chalet. But be careful, there have already been punctured tires several times. You can also put it next to the parking lot, from where the guards drive and threaten to call a tow truck. Might call =)

In the downstairs lobby of the complex there are rentals, changing rooms, sports shops like Bosco, Bogner, etc., as well as luggage storage and decent clean toilets.

A large information board is installed in the lobby, where there is an interactive map of the tracks and data on the operation of all slopes and lifts. The same map is on the Gazprom website online

Tracks and lifts of Gazprom

The upper platform of the ski center - the Psekhako plateau - is located at an altitude of 1435 m. And all the tracks start from the plateau itself. The plateau continues up to Pikhtovaya Polyana at an altitude of 1660 m.

Gazprom's routes are located on the northwestern slopes of the Psekhako plateau. In order to get into the skiing area, you must first climb the plateau on one of the three gondola lifts, and there already chairs and training ski lifts work to service the slopes.

The main lifts are gondola lifts. Two parallel for 8 people from the lower station of Gazprom (A and A1). The time to get to the top station is about 15 minutes.

And from the railway station Rosa Khutor to Gazprom you will be delivered by the new A3 ski lift, each gondola of which can accommodate up to 30 people. From there, the most magnificent views open up. Therefore, you can arrange an additional excursion for yourself by going up, for example, to A3, and going down to A1.

If you have chosen the large cable car A3 for lifting, then it will take you to Pikhtovaya Polyana at an altitude of 1660 m above sea level. This is the highest point of the GTZ Gazprom, from where you can already go down to the slopes.

And already on the plateau, 4 and 6-seater chair lifts are waiting for you, as well as several rope tow ropes on training slopes. Their speed is not high, as well as the ability to use them for many wheelers, so there may be queues on holidays and weekends.

Gazprom has 15 pistes of different difficulty levels, 5 of which are illuminated for evening skiing. The total length of the trails is about 20 km. The red and black slopes F and G only work when there is a lot of snow. But if they work, then this is the best trail skating in Krasnaya Polyana. And the other 13 runs are great for learning, lazy skiing, and pre- and post-bar photography.

There is also evening skiing at Gazprom, which guests of the resort love for beautiful views and a romantic atmosphere. By the way, we, too, sometimes like to come to Gazprom in the evening, lazily ride along the tracks, drink mulled wine and just have a good time. Do not forget that it is colder in the mountains in the evening, so dress warmly.

Food and recreation

Cafes and restaurants at Gazprom are varied, but the general level of prices at the top is high. On the plateau there is a good but expensive restaurant "Chalet" and a branch of the Sochi restaurant of Caucasian cuisine "Khmeli Suneli". In general, if you want to save money, it is better to take a thermos and a snack with you.

After skiing, you have a unique opportunity to spend a lot of money. In the lobby of the lower queue there are boutiques of elite sports brands Bogner, Escada sport, Goldwin, etc.

And this is the Galaktika shopping center next to the lower station of the cable car. There is a small water park with children's slides, an outdoor pool with mountain views, an ice rink, a nightclub, a cinema, bowling, billiards and shops. And there is also an interesting educational children's club on a space theme with various attractions. And even a moon rover on the control panel. Here they are website

To summarize, it’s good to go to Gazprom to study, drink mulled wine, put a girlfriend on skis, spend money on fashionable mountain-beach clothes. And if the black and red tracks work, then it’s not bad to carve, scaring the beginners who have driven there by mistake.

The Gazprom mountain resort is located in Krasnaya Polyana. At first glance, it's a little confusing. There is Krasnaya Polyana - a settlement not far from Sochi.

How to get there

All the same "Swallow" will bring you from the railway station in Adler or from Sochi to the station "Krasnaya Polyana".

Not far from the station, you need to take the 3S cable car, which will take you up to the Psekhako ridge, where the Gazprom Laura resort is located.

There are also bus routes or take a taxi. By the way, there is an inexpensive taxi in Adler, it used to be called Red, now I don’t know how.
