Gorki city location. Year-round resort Gorki Gorod on Krasnaya Polyana

And as befits a ski resort, there is a chic cable car with breathtaking views from the cabin and observation decks.

If you find yourself in the Gorki Gorod resort, you should definitely take a ride on the cable car, otherwise, why go to Krasnaya Polyana?

Autumn in the mountains of Krasnaya Polyana, October 2017

The main cable car consists of five lines (K-1, K-2, K-3, K-4, K-5). The main part of the route (K-1, K-2, K-3) is carried out in closed gondola-type cabins, the last stage is open. Before you buy tickets for the cable car, you need to ask at the box office how many queues are open for visiting today, or you can check this information on the official website: cable cars working hours. Also, do not forget that you can purchase tickets at a discount (at a reduced price) for pensioners and children, please also specify this information when buying, in case you decide to prepare in advance for a meeting of friends with children or parents.
From the end of October until the beginning of the ski season, the last stage (climbing Mount Black Pyramid - K-4, K-5) is closed. But this does not mean at all that you need to change your plans. Look at the view of the mountain from the neighboring peak:

Black Pyramid - peak in the Aibga ridge

The total climb time to the top is about an hour.
The climb from the landing site to the summit is 2200m (3rd stage) - 1642m.
The length of the cable car to the top of 2200m is 4623 meters.

At each "transfer stop" there are observation decks where you can spend an unlimited amount of time. The main thing is to look in advance at what time the last cabin of the cable car goes down.

Were from 11 to 17 April, the first time in Krasnaya Polyana. Even though it's off season, there are a lot of people. We checked in late in the evening, there was a queue, but not critical - we stood for 30 minutes. Although with children, of course, it was annoying to stand, they could come up with something. Half of the reception did not work immediately, while some of the remaining counters simply closed - our working day was over, and the queue increased. We found our building, apartments, settled in. Impressed immediately. Nice, spacious, clean room with two bedrooms and a large living room. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and it is quite large and comfortable. The beds in each bedroom were single beds pushed together. Children are fine, but my wife and I are not comfortable. Understanding is not realistic - you will spend time, you will not achieve your goal. Everyone is constantly relaxed, but at the same time polite - such a rastaman management. We, they say, have almost 100% occupancy, we can’t offer anything, well, what are you? well, be patient! and smile. When we checked in, in the huge building in which the reception is located, the fire alarm was screaming at the top of its voice with calls to leave the hotel. Of course, we all exchanged glances, and those around us, including security, hotel staff and residents, did not even notice this sound. In general, there was a feeling that only our group of visitors heard it. Then everything calmed down and as if nothing had happened. Well, who will win this country?)) Then, during the week of stay, there were a couple of times in neighboring buildings like this, and, as before, no one paid attention to it. The room has a kitchen, which really makes life easier. Microwave with grill, but not working, addressed, listened politely, but no one came. The dishes were the most necessary, but the sets were not complete, but it was enough for us. The TV in the room is super - HD picture quality, a lot of channels, and sports and movies. And the coolest thing is webcams from the streets around and from the ski slopes of the city's hill itself. You can see the weather, the amount of snow, fog on the highway, rain on the street. They promised to clean up every third of the day of stay - no one ever came. But they smiled. Rastafarians... In short, we cleaned ourselves and generally tried not to litter. The kitchen has a built-in dishwasher, which unrealistically makes life easier not only at home, but now also on vacation. There is no washing machine. Now it's outside. There is a playground in the courtyard, the children liked it, then they found a cool playground behind the building, while it is covered, that is, children can play there in the rain if they get tired of sitting in the room and going to water parks. The yard, like everything around, is beautiful, spacious, clean. In general, living in a slide city is pleasant and convenient: grocery stores and not only nearby, a pharmacy, too, ATMs, in general, everything is at hand, bank cards are accepted everywhere. The ski lift is nearby, rentals are nearby, cafe-restaurants - everything is here. I wanted to go skiing on Rosa Khutor - I got on a bus and went there for 23 rubles.
