Ski lovers. The best ski tracks in the Moscow region Places for ski training in the Moscow region
The snow in Moscow fell surprisingly early this year. But even though the snow closed the cycling season ahead of schedule, it opened the ski season!
Whatever one may say, skiing in our country is one of the most popular cyclic species sports. And this is the best alternative to triathlon training in the winter - no other sport can offer such functional and comprehensive work for the whole body.
The main question for those who are just getting acquainted with skiing is where to ski and what to wear on themselves and their feet. Therefore, we are launching a winter series of materials about skiing: where, how, in what and how much.
Today we will tell you about the main places for cross-country skiing in Moscow and the surrounding Moscow region. In general, you can just go skiing in virtually every park in Moscow, but there are not so many trails suitable for quality training. Let's look at the main ones.
**Routes of the nearest Moscow region near the Moscow Ring Road
Odintsovo** The route is located near Moscow, runs along the asphalt surface of a roller ski track, that is, the surface is flat and without bumps. As of mid-November, the track was in good condition. There are changing rooms in the stadium building. The route is illuminated at night.
Address: 3rd km. Krasnogorskoe highway. Distances: 3, 6, 10 km - roller circles, winter ones in preparation. Width: from 4 m. Height difference: ~50 m. Total height difference: ~165 m. Direction of movement: counterclockwise.
Meshchersky Park New place for skiing, appeared several years ago. However, it immediately became one of the best in the Moscow region. The reasons are simple - developed infrastructure, administration support for any sports activities and correct technique, which serves the routes. The longest circle is more than 5 kilometers long. There are 4 and 1.3 km laps. For tourist routes, there are two tracks with a length of 1.8 and 2.6 km. The width of the tracks varies from 3 to 6 meters. On the sides there is space for adherents of the classical style, in the middle - for the ridge style. To prepare the trails, a special Husky Rat-rak snow compacting machine is used. There is lighting for skating at night and changing rooms. Address: Moscow region, nearest railway station Skolkovo. The exact location is at the link.
Krasnogorsk
The track in Krasnogorsk is one of the oldest in the immediate Moscow region. Qualifications for the World Championships and Olympics have been held here for many years. Unfortunately, now the track is not prepared at the top level, but it’s good for an amateur. Buranami rolls her, by the way, 12-time world champion Ivan Utrobin. As of mid-November, the condition of the loops in the forest is satisfactory, there are mounds and branches, leaves. There is no classic ski track. The circle in and around the stadium is in better condition than the circles in the forest, but decent “Olympic terrain” is not suitable for every beginner. Unfortunately, there are no ski tracks here yet. Therefore, you can only skate. There are paid locker rooms that usually open with the official start of the season, not in November. On the 1.5 kilometer circle the lighting is on until approximately 19:00. Address: Krasnogorsk city, ski stadium"Zorkiy", Rechnaya street, house 37.

Bitsa
A favorite place for Moscow skiers, also due to its location - the route is the most “Moscow”. Last years it is threatened by a large construction project, but activists are collecting petitions, which is what we are talking about. So far, the 2.3 kilometer circle, which is located outside the Moscow Ring Road, is in good condition. Address: Moscow, South-Western Administrative District, 36th km of the MKAD.
Romashkovo
A famous place for skiing right next to the Moscow Ring Road. The abundance of circles (from 2 kilometers to 17) and their great length, interesting and moderate relief. The access to the highway from the outer Moscow Ring Road is currently closed due to construction. Therefore, you can get there from the Medic stadium or from the village of Romashkovo. The stadium has warm changing rooms. There is no lighting on the track. Address: Romashkovsky forest, 58 kilometer of the Moscow Ring Road.
The rubble on the route has been removed, and the surface is now being leveled using snowstorms and a harrow. Photo from November 14.
Glider An old and famous track where starts at the Moscow Championship level are held. There is a forest part of the route, a flat part and a field part - with an abundance of heavy lifting. At the moment (mid-November), the track is being prepared rather tentatively, although you can ride. There is a locker room. Address: Moscow region, Khimki district, Olympic training and sports center "Planernaya".

Ski center named after Anfisa Reztsova “Snezhinka”

They are located in the forest part of the park. Arrival from the side of the Avangard stadium. There is no lighting or changing rooms.
Sokolniki
Here the situation is approximately the same as with Izmailovsky Park. There are ski tracks for active rest in more crowded places and more serious routes in the depths of the park, near the Putyaevsky Ponds cascade. This year, Moscow Mayor S. Sobyanin promised to make the track the best for skiing within Moscow. Let's hope! In the meantime, they made what the park itself calls an “all-weather ski track.” Its length is almost two kilometers. In the evening the track is illuminated with lanterns. To ensure that the snow cover remained in normal condition, the path was fenced on both sides with a mesh fence. Ski track in Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo park Another place on the Muscovite’s ski map is the park around the old Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo estate and surrounding areas. They say this year they started replacing heating pipes there and dug up part of the route, cutting off a couple of loops. But the route is still convenient for people who live nearby.
Great lawn of Moscow State University One five-kilometer circle near the main building of Moscow State University. When a lot of snow is prepared with a retractor, the height difference here is used to the maximum, although it is small - there is a small slope along the route along Kosygina Street.
Losiny Island A giant forest park within the city and even more gigantic outside the Moscow Ring Road. There is no special preparation, but hundreds of skiers walk here and therefore the ski track is quite comfortable and long. There are really remote places where you can see moose and other wildlife. You can enter from the Golyanovo district, from the Yaroslavskoe highway and through Sokolniki Park.
**Ski track in Timiryazevsky Park
