WHY ARE WE WALKING UPHILL?

Krasnaya Polyana.
Dreamland of peace and tranquility, crystal mountain lakes and sparkling glaciers, snow-capped peaks, piercing the sky, intoxicating scent of blooming meadows and fresh mountain air, evergreen forests, alpine river with rainbow trout, salmon, waterfalls and Narzan springs - all this Krasnaya Polyana.
Alpine meadows beckon Krasnaya Polyana in the spring and summer, and the charm of the golden autumn is impossible to convey in words - from the amazing ruby red cherries and leaves fern resort got its name.
The settlement Krasnaya Polyana was founded during the time of the Russian Empire. Over time, immigrants moved here from central Russia, Estonia, Greece. It is these extremely beautiful places, Nicholas II was once chosen for rest of the imperial family and the protected hunting. The ancient history of this area still has not been studied in detail, but we know that there lived primitive people, as evidenced by the archaeologists found sites of ancient men, dolmens from the Bronze Age and the remains of a fortress dating back to the VI-IX centuries AD.
The history of Krasnaya Polyana - not just a chain of facts, telling about turning a blind mountain village in the famous resort. This chronicle of events - a real epic, in which the time intricately intertwined history of the mountain tribes and languages have disappeared, the exploits of Russian officers, the fate of the great explorers, the tragedy of the Caucasian war and the stages of conquest of the unbridled nature of the Caucasus.
The geographical position, mineral wealth, diversity and beauty of landscapes - factors which attracted people from ancient times to this place.
There are several versions of the original settlement of Krasnaya Polyana. According to one of them, the first inhabitants of the territory were the representatives of the people, was on his way from Asia to Europe a thousand years ago. Confirmation of this version is the fact that there are about twenty castles belonging to the VI-IX centuries AD.
Glory to the famous resort of Krasnaya Polyana was destined not only for the amazing natural beauty. For the first time the initiative to study the climate of the Black Sea were made in 1896. "There is no place in the Russian Empire, which could be compared to Sochi, and except in the Atlantic region and the Pyrenees Western France have something like that" - wrote Professor Krasnov.
There are a lot of natural areas. As the rise in the mountains, you can note the differences in the nature of the vegetation that ranges from subtropical to alpine. It is thanks to the alpine nature Krasnaya Polyana is often called Russian Switzerland. But unlike European ski resorts it is located close to the sea, the sea providing mixing of the air streams rich in iodine, with mountain air masses.
Rest in Krasnaya Polyana - a great opportunity to rejuvenate and recuperate. The first to use the beneficial effects of the local climate on the human body offered Colonel Alexander Tchaikovsky medical service. In 1908 he built in Krasnaya Polyana cottage-holiday for tuberculosis patients.
The principles of healing based on the unity of man with nature. Colonel recommended patients often go for walks in the woods, relax under the shady trees, climb the mountains. The results were immediate: a rare combination of sea and mountain air really brings relief to patients, the manifestations of the disease are not as severe. Soon the fame of Climatotherapy in Krasnaya Polyana spread throughout the country.
Krasnaya Polyana became known worldwide after Russia won the right to host the Winter Olympics in 2014. However, the true lovers of active winter recreation discovered this place half a century ago. The mild climate, especially bedding and snow cover the mountain - nature itself has tried to create here everything you need for an active holiday. The first conqueror of the slopes of Krasnaya Polyana became a fan of freeride - they appreciated all the charm of a free descent on untouched snow long before the appointed slopes and lifts.
In 1968 he opened the Republican Children and Youth Sports School ski in Krasnaya Polyana. From this date began the development of the territory as a ski resort. Athletes climbed on the first built in Krasnaya Polyana cableway "Alpika-Service".
XXII Olympic Winter Games - perhaps the most important event in the modern history of Krasnaya Polyana. Carrying on the territory of Russia in the first Winter Olympics gave a powerful impetus to the development of the village and brought him worldwide fame Season Mountain Resort. Who would have thought ten years ago that from Sochi to Krasnaya Polyana can be reached by high-speed train in less than 40 minutes! Today it is a reality.
Automobile, railways and cable cars, built with the latest technology, the stadiums, ski and sledge and bobsleigh runs, world-class hotels, advanced television systems and communication - the rich heritage of the 2014 Olympics. Due to such a big transformation Krasnaya Polyana today - it is not only one of the best ski resorts, but also the focus of an active social life, which laid the tradition of international art festivals and business forums, conferences and trade shows.
Krasnaya Polyana - a center of mass tourism and the first in Russia a worthy alternative to foreign ski resorts. The safety of tourists, everything you need to relax with your family, a romantic break or extreme subjugation of the mountain peaks, rich social life all year round, ample opportunities of improvement - that is the extraordinary appeal is concentrated today in Krasnaya Polyana today and the prospects for its future development.
