Rosa Khutor. Holidays in mountains. 07/22

Travelling by car

First day went to Krasnodar with a little stop in the village Mokry Batay near Rostov-on-Don

Second day arrived to Rosa at night.

First "green" trail down.

Foggy

Beauty makes me stop each 50 m and take photos

First day effect

I have met it in Norway. Tried to stop myself

Two kilometres later clearly understand which of our clotes/boots are right, and which we should change immediately

Some kilometers down by not very rough trail

Light rain and fog

Passing switched off till winter lifts

Passing signs about stones and wild animals

Finally we are on finish of the route

Walking on the places where skiing 5 months ago is strange a bit

Here is red/blue Vancouver routes

Restaurant "Che, harshe"

Mountains keep water from the sea

And all are green around.

There is +30 near the sea, but here is snow

Summers route differs from winter's one

There are a lot of signs. No chance to lost

Waterfalls

One day, when sun shines without any cloud

Eerybody this day went to mountains

In traffic jam on the top we were waiting lift down for 2 hours

But beauty of sunset changes these 2 hrs into 10 minutes

Sochi. Dendropark. BANANA

Adler. Monkey's park. Kid is only 8 days old

Fog in the mountains - it is good for us. Nice pictures and no hot sun

Glass bridge is closed due to wet weather... Very good reason why I didn't go on it :)

Nice mountains landscape view... but not today

Yeti route. All the way is waiting when Yeti comes out of trees

Red route on Gazprom Laura

In summer it's easier to pass them

Near the ski route is the trail through the magic forest

Prize on the finish - swiming pool

Swim under the rain - beautiful experience after long way in mountains

Excursion to the tea fields. Local inhabitants

Late guide told that there are a lot of snakes. I'd never make this picture if know that earlier

Some time came to the sea. Rosa's hoteles have their private comfortable beach. But stones, waves and medusas are the same everywhere in Sochi

Walking in mountains is better than in waves with medusas

Snowdrops

It's a bit cold

Snowballs

One more old dream comes true. Each time in winter it's not usefull to go there with ski boots

Foggy again

Magic old forest. Simple route looks fantastic due to hard mist around

Waterfalls are also there

In 10 days we have done all simple and mid routes

Started our way home under the rain, that caused waterflow in Adler two hours later

Made stop on the road to take photo in sunflowers field. Igor asked if there are snakes. I doubtless answer of course no, there is a highway, oil station. Snakes do not like it. Than I did step on the grass... and viper-snake darted from under my feet towards field, me - towards car. Decided to use only this photo that I made from asphalt

Started at 5 oçlock from Rosa were only at 2 oçlock in Voronezh. 21 hrs trip it's a bit difficult. In the morning slept and walked

Saw all key attractions in Voronezh

Museum of Ivan Bunin. He lived during revolution and now his "Okayannye days" sounds new way. At night was home
