JuteVilla
Krasnaya Polyana is sited against the scenic backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains, which exceed 2,000 meters (6,600 ft) in elevation, at a distance of 60 kilometers (37 mi) from the center of Sochi by road and 40 kilometers (25 mi) from the Sochi-Adler airport. The settlement has been plagued by transport problems, in order to improve upon the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics, a railway station of Sochi Light Metro is planned to connect this area with the airport, Sochi Olympic Village and the downtown of Sochi.

Krasnaya Polyana today offers many chalets, hotels, and restaurants. Its reputation owes a lot to the development of heliskiing in the middle of the 1990s, which provides access to an important skiing domain. Amateurs can ski down through a not-too-dense birch forest, with a vertical drop of 1,760 meters (5,770 ft). The station at Rosa Khutor has four chairlifts (lowest station at 560 meters (1,840 ft) and upper station at 2,320 meters (7,610 ft)) and 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) of delimited tracks. As of 2006, the Alpika Service was being developed by the Gazprom
