Ski resorts of the Chelyabinsk region: "Abzakovo", "Bathhouse", "Zavyalikha"

Many at least once in my life have a desire to do this kind of sport. Even though it is not accessible to everyone, but only to people who are courageous, resolute, wealthy and know their own worth. For those who need a certain dose of adrenaline for the fullness of life.

Skiing

What thoughts and images first arise in the mind when skiing is mentioned? First of all, it's bright costumes, dazzling mountain peaks, steep bends, ski lifts, small fashionable hotels and guest houses in the valleys ... And, of course, a refined aristocratic audience, to whom all this splendor is available. And where is it usually taken to look for? In the Alps. In Switzerland, in Austria. And on the alpine slopes of Italy and France. Same everybody knows ... Have you heard anything about the ski resorts of the Chelyabinsk region? Do you think that this is another joke from the series about "severe Chelyabinsk"? But in reality, everything is a little more complicated.

Ski resorts of Chelyabinsk region

The recreational potential of this region is only now beginning to develop. And the Southern Urals is a place, without the slightest exaggeration, unique. There is a relatively mild climate and in many places still preserved pristine nature. Those who came to these lands for the first time in their lives always get a strong impression of mountain slopes covered with relict coniferous forests and picturesque Ural rocks of bizarre outlines. The Ural mountains are not at all high, but for the development of skiing it is absolutely not necessary. Suitable slopes for downhill and slalom here are more than enough. Ski resorts of the Chelyabinsk region currently can not even closely compete with the Alpine in terms of their popularity and "promotion." But at the same time they have their undeniable advantages, the main of which, of course, is the level of prices for services provided to skiers that is not comparable with Switzerland.

In the Southern Urals

What is it that attracts tourists to these not very tragic paths that lead to far from the most popular places? What can the ski resorts of the Chelyabinsk region offer its guests? On closer examination, it turns out that not so little. Moreover, these places are unique and unique, and the recreational business of the Ural region is developing steadily. This is reflected in the fact that the Chelyabinsk region is improving the already existing tourist infrastructure since Soviet times and constructing new tourist complexes. One of the best ski resorts in the region is considered to be the "Sunny Valley". This modern tourist complex is located 120 kilometers from the regional center and provides its visitor with a level of service corresponding to the world standards accepted in this area. There are twelve tracks with a total length of seven kilometers. They are carefully prepared before the start of the season, their condition is constantly monitored. At a very decent level, the whole system of service, safety and comfort is built here.

"Bathhouse." Mountain-skiing complex on the lake shore

This ski center, located on the shore of Lake Bannoe, bears the official name of "Metallurg Magnitogorsk." But the inhabitants of the regional center are accustomed to call it by the name of the geographical object near which it is located. This is one of the most promising ski resorts in the region. He has excellent prospects for further development, and much of what has been conceived has already been successfully realized. For example, recently upgraded and gondola lift systems have been purchased and successfully installed. These mechanisms came to the South Urals from Austria and Slovakia. The eastern slopes of the ski resort "Bannoy" allowed to equip the routes of varying degrees of complexity. Here, everyone can find the route of descent, corresponding to his level of skill and sports qualification - from beginners to steep professionals.

On the border with Bashkortostan

Many fans of downhill and slalom exclusively in a positive context recall Abzakovo. The ski resort, located in this village on the border of Bashkortostan and the Chelyabinsk region, is developing and rapidly gaining popularity among those who are not indifferent to winter sports. In the development of this sports complex are invested significant funds and they are used quite rationally. Three branches of a rope hoist are installed and successfully function here . They successfully raise to the starting point of the route both skiers and snowboarders.

Development prospects

Recreational potential of the South Ural region is currently not used to the full extent. In the near and more distant future, much remains to be done here. After all, a large number of fans of skiing around the world is simply not sufficiently informed about the slopes of the Ural foothills. And many in the near future will come here willingly. Accessibility is one of the main positive factors that characterize the ski resorts of the Chelyabinsk region. The prices here are very affordable, especially against the background of such traditional countries of the alpine region as Austria and Switzerland. So, the cost of living one person in a hotel is on average from 600-700 rubles per day. The tourist business of the South Urals is currently waiting for its investors. The funds invested here can bring a good profit already in the very near future.

Sport base "Metelitsa"

A few years ago, even the most knowledgeable in the ski area specialists could not say such a name as the village of Cheremshanka (Chelyabinsk region). The ski resort "Metelitsa" appeared in this place relatively recently. But this sports complex in a short time has already managed to win a fairly decent reputation. Here skiers willingly go not only from the South Urals, but also from more remote regions. The skiing sports complex "Metelitsa" specializes in family and youth recreation. Two downhill skiing tracks are equipped here. There is a lift available. Get here best through the city of Upper Ufaley, which is located nearby.

Unique lift

The review of tourist sites of the South Ural region will be incomplete if you overlook the ski resort of Zavyalikha. It is located twelve kilometers from the town of Trekhgorny. At present, this is one of the most modern and promising ski resorts in the Chelyabinsk region. At the disposal of skiers and tourists there are nine routes of varying complexity. They differ in both altitude and descent. But the unconditional pride of this sports complex is a unique high-speed lift. Engineering structures of this type no longer exist not only in the Urals, but also in the territory of Russia. Six-seat lift "Conrad" chair type is able to very quickly deliver their passengers to the starting point of the downhill skiing track. It is equipped with folding protective domes and a running track. It should also be noted the level of technical support in the ski resort of Zavyalikha. The complex has a system of artificial snow making, which is especially important at the beginning of the winter season, when natural snow is not always enough. Mountain slopes here are daily packed with special snow-sealing equipment.

There are several reasons for traveling to the Urals

First of all, these reasons are of an economic nature. Chelyabinsk is not very similar to Courchevel. The ski resorts of the South Urals actually brought this kind of sports rest from the elite and accessible only to the elite. Anyone with very average incomes can afford to come here. Stay here is unlimited. A positive factor is the fact that the tourist infrastructure of the region is steadily developing and improving. The funds are invested in it, and the level of comfort on existing ski complexes is increasing every year. New objects are being designed and the existing ones are being improved. The process is developing in the right direction. There are more and more reasons to stop looking at the horizon snow-covered alpine peaks and turn your gaze in the opposite direction. Ski resorts in the Chelyabinsk region are waiting for experienced athletes, and those who do in this direction only the first steps!
