Environmental friendliness of the ski resort Gazprom Mountain Resort

The 2014 Sochi Olympic Games have been criticized due to the building of ski resorts in the previously undisturbed natural environment. The Psekhako Ridge, upon which the Gazprom Mountain Resort is located, was massively modified in order to build the access roads, which is very evident when there is not much snow. However, the encroachments made due to the construction of the ski resort are countered with many compensatory measures such as the project to reintroduce the snow leopard to the area. The exemplary connections of the ski resorts surrounding Krasnaya Polyana to the public transportation network are also very positive. In the course of the Olympic Games preparation, the region was also connected to the gas supply and must no longer heat with coal and wood, which also significantly improves the air quality.

• Train connection
  There is a direct train connection from the Adler Airport to Esto-Sadok/Эсто-Садок and the cable car lift goes up right from the train station.
• No ski buses
• Scheduled buses
• The 135 line connects Gazprom and Krasnaya Polyana with the Adler Airport. The 105 line goes to Sochi and the station is right at the base station.
