Mountain resort Alpika-Service, located on the slopes of the Aibga ridge, is often called the “heart of Krasnaya Polyana”. There are several reasons for this: in the 70s of the last century, it was on the site of the future "Alpika" where a branch of the training and sports base "Spartak" was built to train masters of alpine skiing. At the beginning of the 90s, the base received serious funding - new lifts were pulled into the mountains, high-quality and modern tracks were developed, and in 1993 the first ski resort Alpika-Service opened in Krasnaya Polyana. In just 10 years, it has become one of the most popular places for freeride, the venue for the Russian Cup and World Freeride Tour.

With the victory of Sochi in the competition for the Olympics, Alpika-Service received another round of development and the Sanki bobsleigh track with a new cable car.

Now Alpika-Service is part of GTZ Gazprom. After the Olympics, the mountain climate resort was again closed for renovation. Soon there will be new routes and cableways, an amusement complex, ecological hiking routes and much more. However, even now Alpika is waiting for guests - there are bars and restaurants here, you can take a cable car ride to the Sanki center or use the largest ring lift to arrive at the existing GTZ Gazprom routes.

How to get there

For example, the road from Moscow with direct flights to Sochi International Airport and the subsequent transfer by bus or train to the place will take no more than 4-5 hours.

Price for a trip from the airport to the hotel by taxi will be about 900-1300 RUB. The car can be ordered in advance, fixing the fare.
