As a downhill ski destination, it is among the best in Russia, with 15km of trails ranging from bunny slopes to black diamonds. Lift tickets are R350 to R500 per day or R50 to R60 per ride, and decent equipment is available for rental. The ski season usually runs from November to April.
In summer, the resort is open for horse riding (per hour R250) and cycling (per hour R40), as well as tennis, basketball and other sports. The giant indoor aqua park (two hours R70 to R90) and the small, sad zoo (admission R30) are also open year-round.
