Rosa Khutor is a year-round mountain resort located on the banks of the Mzymta River and the mountain slopes south of it in the Adler region of Sochi. The main sports venue for the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games 2014, Rosa Khutor is one of the youngest mountain resorts in the world and the largest and fastest growing in Russia.
The idea of building a world-class mountain ski resort in Russia first came up in 2002. However, Sochi's winning bid to host the 2014 Olympic Winter Games made Rosa Khutor one of the key venues of the Olympics, expanding the scope of the project and increasing funding for the project many times over. Investments in construction amounted to about 69 billion rubles, both own and borrowed funds.
“In 2002 the Alpine World Ski Championships were held in Austria. Coincidentally, Vladimir Putin was there on a visit at the same time. The president and chancellor of Austria invited him to go skiing, and he, in turn, invited me and some other people to come along and keep him company.
We started talking: why don't we have wonderful mountain resorts like this in our country? And so we began working on the idea of creating the Rosa Khutor resort. A well-known Canadian company helped us put the project together. They mentioned in passing that the area around Krasnaya Polyana is the best undeveloped site in the world. That meant it would be a sin not to develop it!”

The resort was designed and built in line with environmental standards and in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund. More than 40,000 trees and shrubs were planted as part of compensatory environmental measures, members of rare amphibian species were relocated to areas not undergoing construction, and rare plant species were replanted in neighboring areas.
Rosa Khutor's breakneck pace of construction made it the showcase of Olympic Sochi. No other mountain ski resorts of this caliber have been built in the past 20 or 30 years. The capacity of the resort is 20 thousand people a day.“It probably wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that there is nothing like it in Russia, at least not thus far. A unique resort was built in just a few years. It's as if a piece of the Alps or another world-famous site was transplanted to Russia”

Today it is a dynamic resort. Its employees are committed to make the stay of their guests comfortable, interesting and varied all year round, not forgetting to take care of the environment. In 2018, the Sustainable Resort Development Program was adopted, which covers the main areas that are important for the long-term development of any resort:
