Well, what tourists, where to go skiing and snowboarding in Russia?
Ski resort - Sheregesh. A place where the entire contingent of Russia comes from a student to an elderly businessman. Necessarily, no matter where you live, you must come and experience these slopes. Personally, I come here from Irkutsk every season, especially for festive events, this way I get more time for rest.
Do you want to see real mountains and ski from unique slopes and also have a great rest? Then I recommend looking towards the Caucasus and the Ural Mountains. Where to go skiing in the Urals? Choose any region: Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk. The beloved Krasnaya Polyana and Dombay are located in the Caucasus, and the Elbrus resort can also be included here, where you will have a great time.
What is the best option for you? For beginners, I recommend trying Dombay, the Elbrus region is already suitable for true connoisseurs of speed and extreme descent from steep slopes, and if you decide to visit Krasnaya Polyana, then this is also an excellent choice, besides, at the moment, all the tourist ski resorts of Sochi in no way lose to Europe.
Of all the skiing options listed above, I recommend trying everything. Dombay is worth a visit because of its picturesque mountainous region, resting here, you will feel a surge of energy and some primitive filling of life that will distract you from all the problems at work. Visiting Krasnaya Polyana you will feel the mild climate, which will make it possible to stay on the slopes for more time, the snow here is very light to the touch, which gives you good controllability on skiing and snowboarding, skiing here is a pleasure.
The Elbrus region is the first thing to visit for all ski tourists who love picturesque mountain areas and landscapes, climb only one peak, you will want to stay here forever.
Well, the last two resorts that are suitable for you for skiing on Russian tracks and mountain slopes are Sable Mountain and Vilyuchinsky Volcano. Do you love Lake Baikal? Then you have the opportunity to ride on the slopes of Mount Sobolinaya with a picturesque view of Lake Baikal, I recommend visiting this place until January 15, after this date, and maybe even earlier, Baikal freezes over and then it is not so beautiful.
Vilyuchinsky is waiting for all residents of Kamchatka and those who are engaged in extreme freeriding, you will have a place to roam, believe me! Let's move on to Europe and the slopes from which you can not only ride, but also get a sea of emotions from visiting European ski resorts.
Where to go for a ride in Europe?
In Switzerland, you can visit such places as: Tion, Verbier, Veyzon and a more affordable option for prices - La Tzuma. All resorts are accompanied by good service and equipment rental services. Prices here bite, so for a cheaper holiday on the snowy slopes of Switzerland, I recommend the La Tzuma trails.
