📝Practical tips:
How to get there: the center is located in the Mountain Olympic Village (Esto-Sadok settlement). The most convenient way is to drive or take a taxi to the Rosa Khutor level, then walk or use the resort's internal transport. From Adler or Sochi, you can take a train to the Esto-Sadok station, then a bus or taxi.
Footwear and clothing: comfortable shoes for walking on dirt or snow. In winter, warm clothing is necessary as sledding takes place outdoors. In summer — light clothing, but it can be cool in the forest shade.
Best time: in winter — for classic sledding on snow; in summer — for dog tracking and walks. Morning or weekdays — fewer queues.
Contact with animals: follow the instructors' instructions, do not scare the dogs with sudden movements, feed only with permitted food.
