Ski complex "Northern Slope". Toksovo
Hi all!
I was introduced to cross-country skiing at about the same age when I learned to walk. In my hometown there was snow for 8 months, and across the road from the house there was a forest. Having moved to St. Petersburg 7 years ago, I really missed my favorite slopes, and began to look for recreation centers with ski rentals. That's how I found out about Kavgolovo...
Location: Toksovo village, 20 km north of St. Petersburg
How to get there: It’s most convenient by car, but we took a minibus from Devyatkino metro station to the Fantastica store, and then walked another half hour through the dacha village. There are trains going in that direction, but then you still have to go by minibus or bus.
What to expect: a typical Soviet hotel, but with very friendly staff
Nutrition: You can buy a set meal for the whole day, order separately, or, like us, bring food with you. Although for breakfast we went to the dining room and bought a plate of delicious milk porridge for cheap.
All rooms have amenities, i.e. there is a small bathroom with a sink, toilet and shower. One place in such a room, regardless of the number of beds, costs 550 rubles (autumn 2015), and if you want to splash out and get a TV with a refrigerator, then each person will have to pay another 150 rubles.
When we went for the first time, we took a double room with equipment, since at that time there was the Winter Olympics, and my friend was going to watch. But then the prices were a little lower. I must say that both the refrigerator and the TV worked properly.
Everything inside is also Soviet. There are signs everywhere warning that windows should not be opened in winter. In general, everyone there has access to a balcony. It must be wonderful to drink hot tea in the summer.
The beds are new, the curtains are new, the bed linen is also not made of synthetics and not washed - it’s nice to touch it.
Old batteries barely heat. Both times we encountered temperatures of -30, which, to put it mildly, was not very pleasant for Peter. So we slept in all our clothes except street jackets. In the morning, the two of us climbed into one bed and covered ourselves with two blankets. If we sat in the room and watched TV, we also did it next to each other and under two blankets.
The water in the shower ran in a thin stream, and it was barely warm. But I didn’t really want to wash myself in the room in such cold weather. I didn’t take a full picture of the bathroom, so that’s all. The shower is supposed to be taken while standing on the tiled floor.
So this base is not suitable for a romantic date with your other half in winter. For this purpose, you will have to overpay in triad, but live with all the comfort at the neighboring base.
This neighboring base is located at the foot of the famous "Northern Slope" ski resort. Living there is a bit expensive, so Kavgolovo is filled with unassuming students and young people in winter. So if someone wants to go snowboarding, they can save money and stay at Kavgolovo. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the ski resort, the road is lit with lanterns, so it’s good even in the evening.
On the “Northern Slope” there is often some kind of action on weekend evenings, so you can come and watch. We only had enough time to “take a photo”, and we returned back to the Olympics
There is a rental of cross-country skis and boots, cheesecakes and sleds. The website also states that in the summer you can rent a barbecue, a boat and a bicycle, but I haven’t been there in the summer. I don’t remember the price of the skis, but it was very affordable. The skis are plastic, but the boots are of the old fastening type, with a metal clip. It’s fine for me, but my friend hadn’t ridden one of these for 5 years at that time, and it was hard for her to adapt.
For more modern equipment, including snowboards and alpine skis, you can visit the Northern Slope. Prices there, however, are quite high, and you need to leave documents for the car or money as collateral.
Where to go cross-country skiing
We thought we would ride on the frozen lake, which is located next to the base. But it was very windy, and we didn’t dare go out into the open - we rode around a small stadium nearby. While preparing the review, I found out that there is a ski track on the Northern Slope, but we didn’t hear about it then.
The fact is that in Toksovo there is a ski slope famous throughout the entire Soviet northwest. When my dad was young, international competitions were held there, and this center is still in operation. In general, this is where we initially intended, but at Kavgolovo it turned out that we couldn’t get there on foot, and we didn’t have a car. So for cross-country skiing, I recommend driving your car there.
The Kavgolovo ski resort is located fifteen kilometers north of St. Petersburg, in the village of Toksovo. This is a traditional ski center with slopes of varying difficulty levels. The natural slope of Kavgolovo is small - only about fifty meters. However, tourists return again to the place where they learned the basics of skiing. Among the Kavgolovo sports centers, the most popular is the Northern Slope complex, which actually includes three slopes over 200 meters long for skiers and snowboarders. Other trails, up to 150 meters long, are perfect for beginners. Two jumps, 50 and 70 meters high, offer breathtaking views of Lake Kavgolovskoye. The lifts are working. You can rent equipment and hire an experienced instructor. The thickness of the snow cover throughout the season is about a meter, regardless of the weather. Skiing on wild slopes is allowed only from January to April. There is also a cross-country ski track and a toboggan run. Hotels in the resort offer comfortable conditions for recreation at affordable prices all year round: in the off-season, tourists are welcome to come to play mini-golf and tennis, go boating and walk in the forest.
Where can you relax in the Leningrad region? - it all depends on your imagination, your capabilities. One of the best options that can offer is...
Toksovo was called “Russian Switzerland” back in the 19th century - for the extraordinary beauty of nature and clean air. But these places attract not only amazing landscapes. The unique terrain makes Toksovo Heights a real paradise for sports lovers. One of the best sports complexes in Toksovo is the sports center of the training center "Kavgolovo", located 17 km. from St. Petersburg, on the shore of Lake Kurgolovskoye.
Training Center "Kavgolovo" is a world-class sports base:
CLOSE. The base is located near St. Petersburg, just 17 km. from the Devyatkino metro station.

For more successful training, an artificial snowmaking system for an asphalt roller ski track and an infrastructure for athletes’ recreation have been built, which includes a hotel, a canteen, locker rooms with showers, a sauna, ski preparation rooms, etc. For now, any mortal who has the desire and has 250 rubles in his pocket for a day of skating for 2016 can feel like an athlete.
In general, the track consists of a circle, in which one part is at a height and the second is at a low point, that is, for half of the circle you climb the mountain, and for the other half you slide down. The height difference is significant, so the route is ideal for strength training. There is a ski and biathlon stadium.
The cost of visiting includes a changing room and shower; the key can be obtained upon payment from the hotel administrator. The parking lot is quite spacious.
In addition to the ground ski-roller track, which turns into a cross-country ski track in winter, an indoor kilometer-long tunnel with year-round artificial snowmaking and temperature maintenance in the range from -2 to -5, regardless of external conditions and temperature, was built on the territory of the complex.
You can visit the tunnel at any time of the year and practice, adding the same amount to 250 rubles (2016 prices). In the dining room you can have a very inexpensive lunch with hot dishes and salads, costing 250 rubles.
We tried to collect in this topic all the cross-country ski rentals known to us and listed them
