Winter ski resorts continue to attract the attention of Russian outdoor enthusiasts, and the current season is the best evidence of this. According to analysts, demand for ski and snowboard rentals has increased by more than 40 percent in the current winter season, FederalPress writes.
This indicates the growing popularity of winter outdoor activities in Russia and the large number of tourists who want to test themselves on the mountain slopes.
The Kemerovo region is in first place on the list of the most popular ski resorts. This year, Russians decide to go there in almost 70 percent of cases. Resorts in the region offer a variety of trails and exciting routes for all categories of athletes.
Kabardino-Balkaria is in second place – the popularity of mountain holidays in these places has increased by almost thirty percent compared to last season. Here you can enjoy amazing natural views.
The Krasnodar region took third place. The resorts in this region are ideal for family holidays, as they offer a variety of trails for both beginners and professional athletes.
The growing interest in ski resorts poses the task of developing urban infrastructure to meet the growing demand for this type of recreation. Thus, Mayor Kopaygorodsky said that 1,471 hectares have already been identified for new parks, squares and landscaping facilities in Sochi according to the general plan.
