If at the weekend you want a lot of snow, fresh frosty air and sports, it is not necessary to fly to the fashionable Alps . In the Leningrad region, not far from the city of Zelenograd, there is a picturesque ski resort Pukhtolova Gora.
Pukhtolova Mountain Resort
This small resort village is first of all suitable for a quiet and measured family vacation. The ski season, as a rule, begins in December and lasts until March, in especially severe winters - even before April. It is at the resort in winter quite comfortable, because the local climate is relatively mild, and therefore the air temperature drops to -10-15 degrees on average.
Those who like extreme sports here will not like winter sports here. The fact is that the maximum elevation difference here is 50 m. The resort has three ski slopes, of which two routes are blue and one green, which is seen on the map of Pukhtolova Gora. The length of the longest route is 350 m. Therefore, it will be comfortable for beginners and holidaymakers who do not seek to increase the level of adrenaline in the blood. Trails, surrounded by spruce, are well lit and constantly treated by snowcatchers. In addition to these descents, Pukhtolov mountain is equipped with three lifts of the tow type. In addition, the resort has a special small educational descent for children. If you are a kettle, local instructors will teach you the basics of skiing. By the way, on the spot there are sports shops, which also provide rental of necessary sports equipment.
Accommodation and après-ski
Holidaymakers who wish to spend a few days (and even more) at the resort can rent a wooden cottage or a room in it. Many cottages provide the opportunity to prepare their own meals. After active sports guests of the resort can relax with a sauna with a swimming pool, refresh themselves in a cafe, barbecue or restaurant and take part in an event with fireworks.
Small sportsmen will be entertained on the slopes created for riding on "cheesecake" and sleigh. It will be fun for those who like the elegant skating to music - there is a free ice skating rink under the open sky. Those followers of a healthy lifestyle who adore snowboarding will be able to perfect their skills in the snow park "Big Air", equipped with springboards and handrails. If you like fast driving, you can rent a snowmobile or ATV on the territory of the resort of Pukhtolov mountain Zelenogorsk.
