Natural attractions of Krasnaya Polyana

First of all we will go to the Caucasian reserve, which was established in 1924. Today more than 4 thousand animals live in the territory of the reserve and are taken care of by a team of highly qualified employees. And 16 ecological trails for guests of the reserve are laid all around the perimeter of the territory! In addition to the diversity of fauna, there is also an amazing beauty of nature: karst caves, rivers and lakes, waterfalls and mountains, the height of which reaches 3 thousand meters!

For lunch we will go to the restaurant "Chalets", where dishes of Russian and European cuisine are served. Here, located on the summer veranda, you can taste not only classic traditional dishes, but also real culinary delights!

Next, we're gonna hike the Rosa Khutor Health Trail. It is convenient that the route can be chosen by the level of difficulty: easy (310 m, 15 min.), medium (1600 m, 1.5 h.) and complex (2000 m, 2 h.).
We're gonna take the medium difficulty trail. We will encounter small differences in altitude and a few obstacles on the way, but it will certainly not require much effort from you. But what is certain is that you will be able to see the impossible beauty of views: mountain ranges, springs with the purest water, river valley and waterfalls.

The next place we will visit is the Rosa Peak viewing platform at an altitude of 2320 meters, on the top of the Aibga mountain range. It is important to remember that in the mountains the weather changes lightning fast, so do not forget to bring warm things!
We're gonna be on the funiculars to make the ascent. On the way to the top there will be several stops, where you can enjoy the beauty of the view and take a photo as a memory. When you reach the peak, you will finally see a viewing platform with unforgettable views of the mountain peaks and the nearby meadows covered with many flowers.
There is also a "Vysota" restaurant on the top, where you can warm up with hot tea. And if you are a lover of heights and extremes, you can take a ride on a paraglider with an instructor or walk on a wooden suspension bridge over a deep abyss!

Back from the mountain walk, we will have dinner in the restaurant "Meat House", where you can taste huge burgers, fragrant ribs and grilled steaks. From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city, and in the evenings visitors are delighted with live music.

The day has come to an end, it's time to rest and regain your strength. And tomorrow we will continue our acquaintance with the nature of this amazing region!
