Outdoor Skiing

蔡蔡CynthiaRussia's first ski resort in the Far East, Putin also loves to come to ski paradise! The Sobolinaya Mountain Skifield ski resort in the southwest corner of Baikal Lake is the largest ski resort in Russia in the Far East and Siberia, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has also been here skiing. While most Chinese tourists will choose the small ski resorts around Lizhen as an experience, Sobolinaya is really a great choice for real ski lovers! Ski facilities: The entire Sobolinaya ski resort is the largest in the Far East, but the facilities are really rudimentary. There are a total of 18 snow trails in the large ski resort, only one hanging chair lift cable car, the others are dragging T-bar. It must be said that T-bar is very unfriendly to single boards, if single boards, try to choose hanging chairs. And here drag and drag is completely different from the domestic concept, the longest T-bar is nearly 2 kilometers long, and the vertical height is more than 1,000 meters, which is a very scary option! Snow trail: half of the entire ski resort junior and middle snow trails, half of the Red Black Road and Wild Snow Road, can take care of all kinds of difficulties, plus points! The best fun is some non-machine snow road, especially the "President Road" of Route 3 is the favorite snow road when Putin came before, very fun and exciting! Ski equipment: whether it is single board or double board snowboard and snowshoes can be rented at the ski resort, and the price is cheap. But ski clothes, ski gloves, ski helmets, ski glasses, etc. can only be prepared by yourself, otherwise you can only buy them in a nearby store. Address: Krasniy Klyuch county, 90, Baykalsk 665932, Russia Transportation: Irkutsk departure, 3 hours drive, there is a public bus from the city to and from Sobolinaya, it is best to book in advance. The train to Irkuzsk is 3 hours faster, the station is Baikalsk (Express), 9 km from the ski resort. There are also several slow trains to the North Baikalsk railway station, 1 km from the ski resort. Skiing costs: Sobolinaya's skiing costs are really cheap, divided into weekdays and weekends, you can buy all-day ski tickets, half-day ski tickets and ski tickets per time. The all-day ski ticket including single board and single ski shoes rental is only 210 yuan, and the double board is cheaper. Accommodation: The nearest to the ski resort is Sobolinaya Mountain Ski Resort, almost ski in ski out, the accommodation conditions are also very good, there is a hall with its own refrigerator. In addition, there are some cheaper accommodation options around 1 km nearby, you can take a taxi to and from the snow field every day (10-15 RMB one way). Food: There are several restaurants near the snow field, the food is very good, lunch and dinner can be selected here, Bugel Cafe and Klyukva Restaurant are very recommended! In addition, you can also take a taxi to Baigarsk town, Cafe Peterburg is a great choice, you must come here to taste it!
