10 reasons to go to the mountains in the summer

We explain with the example of "Rosa Khutor" (this is in the area of ​​Sochi)

The choice of a place for summer holidays and travel planning (especially family) is a large test. And, as you know, time is money. And we are ready to save your time, because we know exactly where it is best to spend this summer. In the most brief guidebook that Medusa made together with the Rosa Khutor mountain resort, we explain why it is to go to the mountains in the summer (and not at sea, as usual) and what to do there at all.

It is incredibly beautiful there

You arrive at Sochi Airport (he is right next to the sea), sit on a taxi or a swallow train and drive along a new road along the gorge, around you are picturesque mountains, a river gurgles below, you come to a beautiful valley similar to a Swiss. You live by the mountain river (it is visible with the mountains from the window of your hotel), you walk along the mountain paths, listen to birds and breathe clean air. And most importantly - in the mountains in the summer there is no that exhausting heat that inevitably overtakes anyone on the beaches and in coastal cities.

There are fewer people there than at sea

Forget about the exhausting crush in a cafe, on the beaches and on the streets. Yes, Rosa Khutor is a year -round resort, but in the minds of people this is primarily a place where they ride mountain ski and snowboards. And in the summer there are much fewer people than in Adler and Sochi, to which, by the way, only 40 minutes by car (from Adler to Sochi, in fairness, for another half an hour). So if you again want to talk with elbows with compatriots, it is easy to arrange.

There is much cheaper in summer than in winter

The item, directly next of the previous one: mountain holidays in the summer are inexpensive. In summer, the room in a good hotel can be rented for a couple of thousand rubles. Hotels are here for any money and for every taste-from luxurious spa hotels to pleasant economy options with a view of the picturesque Caucasian mountains.

There is delicious

Well, firstly, this is the Caucasus. Secondly, this is the Black Sea. Thirdly, this is a resort. Accordingly, you can go to a simple, but mental tavern, to an expensive restaurant or a cute cafe - and everywhere it will be delicious. You can eat in the resorts, you can eat in the mountains, you can go to Sochi by taxi - and now where is the expanse.

You can walk there anywhere

Wake up in the morning, sit on the lift, climb the mountain and walk all day. You can take a bicycle at the box office, sticks for Scandinavian walking or arrange an equestrian walk. In the end, at any moment you can just take a walk along the river and not think about anything. Another option is to take the car and drive in any direction along the serpentine. Or throw everything and go to the sea (from Rosa Khutor to the beach in the Imereti bay there is a free bus). Sochi and the Caucasian mountains are a place where for about an hour from palm trees and warm sea to the snowy peaks.

There is a cool infrastructure

The Olympics was given to us, let’s say, not easy and not cheap, but left behind an outstanding infrastructure. From the airport to Rosa Khutor, you can get in less than an hour - 10 years ago it was impossible. The road passes through several tunnels and along the cable bridge. Swallow trains go few in Russia, but there are here - and they run between the giant modern stations. The lifts are perfect. The hotels are good. Everywhere it would be so!

There is unusual

“Rosa Khutor” is a Swiss city, but only in the middle of the Caucasian mountains. Cozy, clean, multi -storey, with bridges and pedestrian embankments. Inside this city there is a feeling of complete unreality - recently there was nothing at all, and now life is in full swing in this place. Observation of this town itself is a rather amazing entertainment.

There is good with children

Almost all the roads to the Rosa Khutor, with which we made this material, are pedestrian. This means that it is safe here. The resort itself has a bunch of entertainment for children -extreme parks (for example, the rope "Panda Park" ), a motor vestist and different circles. In June, the traditional children's festival "Generation NEXT" with master classes in vocals, dancing and choreography will be held. And if you don’t want anything, you can always get on sunlocks near the mountain lake on the Rosa Beach beach, there is a children's pool there. In general, there is something to do, and you don’t have to think about security once again. And, well, the air is mountainous.

There you can not disconnect from life. But you can completely disconnect

You can climb the highest peak in the vicinity (stone pillar at an altitude of 2509 meters above sea level), get the phone and post a photo on Instagram - the connection works great. There are wifi in all hotels and cafes. For some, this is a plus, someone wants to disconnect-no one will hurt you in this either. Leave the phone in the hotel and go for a walk in the mountains. Or go to yoga - also an option.

Everything is possible there

It is important to understand: you are not going to the wilderness. Here it’s a stone's throw. You can get to the sea and palm trees in an hour. After another half an hour you can be in Abkhazia. Perhaps this is the most diverse place in Russia - there is everything from the modern expensive European resort to Abkhaz ruins, from palm trees to snow caps and from mountain peaks to the waves on the sea. In general, we leave.
