Sochi Stone Pillar and East Ridge Hiking Tour

Specially for guests who prefer to travel hiking or climbing with a guide, we have prepared a program: “Stone Pillar and East Comb Hiking”.

Great hike for the whole family in the afternoon. Starting from the top station of the cable car GLTS Rosa Khutor. From the top of a stone pillar, you will enjoy a panoramic view from a height of 2500 meters. This hike two parts: the “civilized” – cable cars and the pedestrian part of passing on the ski slopes (which does not change the beautiful views and mountain air) and a “wild” one – eastern ridge tops stone pillars.

You will move along a narrow path and a rock shelf above the cliff, sometimes with using a rope. There might be some meetings with wild animals, so do not forget the camera.

Q & A

– Can I participate in the adventures, if anything do not know how?
– Yes! Almost everything is designed for those who have never been in such situations was not. First, we recommend taking a simple route, then – more difficult. Everything that you need to learn before going. Everything is available, nothing prohibitively difficult do not have to master.

– How dangerous is this?
– These adventures, and even more extreme – absolutely can not be safe. Without danger, they turn into a tour of the local attractions. Another thing – how much risk would be serious. It will be reasonable – calculated, secure and adapted for you.

– Is it hard physically?
This is certainly not a walk in the park, but it is available – exorbitant loads most of the routes is not expected to work but in the end will have to be tired.

– Can I shoot with a travel camera (video camera)?
Not everywhere – some routes may be rather hard, so equipment must have a boxing shockproof briefcase.
