architecture

The Swiss Bernhard Russi is considered to be the architect of the men's downhill slope near Krasnaya Polyana . The start is at 2045 m, the finish at 970 m. The difference in altitude 1075 m results in a downhill length of 3495 m. The top speed is over 130 km / h. The best time of the Swiss Beat Feuz of 2:14:10 min from the first World Cup descent in 2012 was previously beaten by the Austrian Hannes Reichelt with 2:12:91 min.

Bernhard Russi describes his route on Swiss television as follows: “The route begins with a relatively steep start, which then immediately turns into curvy, moderately steep terrain. This is followed by a section with a steep couloir called ' Accola -Valley', which is particularly attractive for the spectators . The jumps 'Russian Trampoline', 'Bears Brow', 'Lake Jump' and 'Deer Jump' are the highlights of the route and sometimes allow the riders to fly up to 70 meters. The route is quite long and makes you feel good. Mainly because it challenges the driver continuously. "

In the ski area is also the Rosa Chutor Extreme Park , where the freestyle skiing and snowboarding competitions took place during the 2014 Winter Olympics .
