Rosa Peak
Роза Пик
The top station of the Rosa Khutor cable car at 2,320 meters, with views of the Greater Caucasus snowy peaks and sea of clouds toward the Black Sea, plus summer alpine trails.
Rosa Peak lies on the Aibga Ridge. Riding several sections of the Rosa Khutor cable car takes about 40 minutes to climb from the valley to 2,320 meters. In winter it is the start of the Olympic alpine downhill course and the entrance to the freestyle runs. In summer, the site opens an observation platform, alpine meadow trails, and the 'Seven Lakes' hiking route, and on clear days you can see snow on the main Greater Caucasus ridge. The summit is more than 10°C colder than the valley, so bring a jacket. Cable car tickets are sold as seasonal combo passes, and service may be suspended in rain or strong wind.
