| Ski Slopes at Krasnaya Polyana, Sochi |
With the 2014 Winter Olympics not far away, Crystal Ski, a UK based holiday company, have added Sochi to its books this year. With new and updated infrastruture in place and still ongoing, Sochi is now a very interesting alternative from the usual ski areas around the world. The powder is apparently amazing and I have yet to experience the après-ski and restaurants but I don't expect the usual glühwein and fondue, more caviar and vodka.
Crystal Ski 0871 231 5655, crystalski.co.uk/ski-resorts/russia-ski-holidays. Currently, seven nights B&B costs £1,129pp, including flights from UK via Istanbul. Then there's Istanbul, another must-do!
See earlier posting for Nissan Russian Adventure Freeride World Tour Sochi 2011 where a couple of Russian contestants took part, including Igor Ilyinh who came 10th.
Is Krasnaya Polyana ready for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics? The pistes are more or less ready and the resort Rosa Khutor has the concrete strutures for shops and eateries which still need to be fitted out. It is all coming along nicely.
