The mountain cluster is a group of sports facilities built in a high-altitude area specifically for the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. It consists of a biathlon and ski complex, a bobsleigh track, a ski center, a ski jump complex, as well as a freestyle center and a snowboard park.
Complex "Laura"
One of the largest structures in the mountain cluster is the Laura complex for biathlon and cross-country skiing competitions, which is located on the Psekhako mountain range, 6-10 km from the village of Krasnaya Polyana. The facility includes two stadiums with start and finish zones, two track systems for biathlon and cross-country skiing, a shooting range and areas for preparing for the competition.
Complex "Rosa Khutor"
The "Rosa Khutor" complex, which is located on the Aibga ridge, was built as a single facility for holding competitions in alpine skiing disciplines. It consists of downhill slopes (for ski and slalom competitions), giant slalom and super giant slalom.
The Olympic ski slopes have a total length of 20 km. The creation of projects for all ski runs belongs to the world famous architect of the International Ski Federation Bernard Russi. Thanks to his efforts, excellent technical tracks of international level for hosting the largest winter sports competition in history will be completed in Sochi.
Jumping complex
The complex of trampolines is located on the northern slope of the Aibga ridge, near the village of Esto-Sadok. This place was specially chosen by international experts, since it is located at the junction of two ridges. Thanks to this, the springboards harmoniously fit into the surrounding landscape, and the athletes will be protected from the crosswind when jumping. This complex includes the most modern Olympic ski jumps K-95 and K-125.
Bobsleigh track
The bobsleigh track is located in the Alpika-Service ski resort, and its finish line goes to the territory of the Rzhanaya Polyana tract. Thanks to advanced ice preparation technologies, specialists will be able to provide constant and accurate control over the temperature of the track.
Freestyle center and snowboard park
Freestyle and snowboarding competitions at the Olympic Games in Sochi will be held west of the Rosa Khutor plateau. Thanks to the unique snow conditions in combination with special tracks, this facility is guaranteed to become a permanent venue for international competitions in cross-country skiing, acrobatics, mogul, snowboard cross, parallel giant slalom and halfpipe.
