Krasnaya Polyana and rise to Rose Peak

Of the two transit days in Adler, one was spent on acquaintance with the Olympic new building, and the second on visiting Krasnaya Polyana. We got to Rosa farm on a direct train. The train is excellent, clean, similar to the Aeroexpress train, but for some reason I liked it more ... The only oddity (how would it be without our country?) Was that at the ticket office of the station we heard the answer that they did not sell tickets for this train. There are about 15 minutes left before departure and we are offered to search for some travel agencies in the square in front of him. We found a woman with a badge who came up and sold tickets. Prices as stated, but had to look for it. The train started moving…

In view of the surrounding natural landscapes, I liked this new building more than the updated Adler itself. More quietly and calmly, but again, the place needs time. “Prayer” is zero.

All the first floors of the buildings are occupied by restaurants, cafes, baubles shops ... But quite nice.

Navigation in three languages: Russian, English, Chinese.

The Mzymta River is now limited by two embankments: emb. Panorama and emb. Lavender. Olympic street also runs in parallel.

Symbols of the Olympics. To capture them, I had to wait ... Adult Russians like to take a lot of shots at these objects: each, under each, on each and so on ... It's strange what is the interest in viewing such photos later ...

There are many new hotels, and most of them offer free transfers to the sea. For those who ski in winter, this is a great option, but as summer accommodation at such a distance from the coast for me personally is not an option at all.

A walk from the railway station to the central square takes about 20 minutes.

There is a plot like an avenue of stars.

We get to the lifts ... The main two: Olympia and Arrow. The boom was being repaired; I had to wedge into the line for the first. Good business! I would place an electronic scoreboard on the place of the organizers, which would show the current status of the account. For a family of three, pokatushki cost about 3,500 rubles, and the flow of people does not dry out ...

A large scheme of routes where you can walk in the mountains and where to get.

We start to the Rose Plateau (1170 m). Fast and playful.

Glass is not the first freshness, but something can be found for shooting. I advise you to sit right at the door, as they have opening vents.

Immediately contemplate the soothing and emotional views ...

In some places the cabins got up, but not for long.

In some particularly steep areas, it lays ears.

Rose plateau ... You can take a walk, see another new building ... Not bad.

The views are good and the air is pleasant.

Then there was another section of ascent to 1349 m, which I did not particularly remember, and a transfer to the longest route to Rosa Peak at 2328 m.

Here, the polarizing filter is already starting to please, and the forms of the landscape are becoming more interesting.

The peak is visible ... The anticipation of contemplation is growing ...

When you reach the top, you immediately feel the coolness and heat at the same time. Interesting sensations, but to burn without a hat is easy. Most people, reaching the summit, are limited to viewing platforms. For some reason they seemed very boring to me, and we decided to take a walk along the surrounding paths to find more attractive angles.
