In this article, we will take a look at all the best ski resorts in Russia for 2021 with ski prices and cheap accommodation. I hope that the rating compiled by me will be very useful to you and you will dispel all doubts about how to spend this winter with benefit.
Before compiling a rating of the best ski resorts in Russia with inexpensive prices, let's determine the conditions for compiling a rating, which included the parameters:
- Accommodation in hotels near the ski resort (3 stars)
- The cost of lunch at a cafe near the ski resort
- Rent a ski pass for the whole day
It is by these parameters that I will compile a list of the best ski resorts in Russia for 2021. The first resort you should definitely visit in order to feel the full power of Siberia is the resort "Belokurikha". It is better to buy a plane ticket through Aviasales and book a room in hotels in cities at cheap prices here, it will really be cheaper.

The Belokurikha ski resort has a very influential rating among all places to go to the mountains in Russia. People come here from all regions in order to improve their health and go snowboarding and skiing. This resort is located in the Altai Territory in the mountains of the Cherginsky ridge.
The longest trail in this resort is 2500 meters, the total length of all trails is 27 kilometers. The easiest way to get to the ski resort is from Biysk or Barnaul by bus or minibus, the travel time from Barnaul will be about 4 hours. You can book cheap flights to Barnaul right now.
Do you want to try the snow on the slopes of Sochi and other complexes of the country, and at the same time save on a transfer with accommodation services? Then I recommend using the services that have already helped me out more than once and gave me real benefits when booking vouchers, places in hotels, plane tickets:
- Finding and buying cheap flights

If you have not yet purchased a snowboard or alpine skiing, then read the articles on choosing equipment with professional advice to help you decide on the choice of alpine skiing and the choice of snowboard. By the way, the daily budget of your stay in Belokurikha will be approximately 2300 rubles per person.
Ski resort of Irkutsk region and Siberia - "Sobolinaya Mountain"
I won't tell you a lot about this place with inexpensive accommodation prices, you should read a separate article about Mount Sobolinaya, located right next to Lake Baikal, from which you will learn how to get to it, where to stay the cheapest, what are the prices for skiing at the moment and ski equipment.
By the way, if you are going to ski in this ski resort and do not know where to stay, I can give you several addresses with a payment of 700 rubles per night, write in the comments and I will answer.

Ski resort for fans of extreme descent - "Sheregesh"
You can write a lot and for a long time about this ski resort in Russia, but for those who have not been here, I will tell you everything short and the most important thing about it. This resort is located in Krasnoyarsk, the budget for a stay here for one day will be about 2650 rubles.
All tracks in Sheregesh are still the best in Siberia and are even certified according to the standard. This resort has two large mountains that have their own names:
- Mountain Green

All skiers of Siberia and the Far East gather at this place in winter, I was there a couple of times. I really like to watch the skiers online through the camera on the official website www.sheregesh.su.
This best ski resort has it all: 10 slopes with different levels of training, drag lifts and chair lifts, many cafes where you can eat deliciously, there are a huge number of hotels near the resort where you can spend the night, and many equipment rental points.
"Robin"
This ski resort in Russia can be classified as a natural resort, the snow is only natural here. The slopes of the mountains provide an opportunity to get a dose of adrenaline not only for professionals in their field, but also for beginners.
The daily budget for staying in Malinovka is approximately 3000 rubles. Here you will find two slopes from the mountains with a length of 500 meters and 600 meters, a specially equipped park with jumps and other devices awaits for snowboarders. There is a gentle training slope for beginners, and a tubing track for children.
There are also jogging tracks through the forest for those who love jogging, especially in the evening, as well as an ice rink, cafes and other entertainment. All this can be found in the south of the region in the Ustyansky District.
"Abzakovo"
To ski in the winter ski resort of Russia called Abzakovo, you need to come to Magnitogorsk in the Urals. This largest ski center combines everything a skier needs today.
As many as 15 tracks are waiting for you to test your strength, the length of all tracks is more than 20 kilometers. At the moment, this ski resort in Russia is indeed the best ski resort.
You can get to Abzakovo from the airport of the city of Magnitogorsk, the travel time is about 2 hours, we also do not forget about the train to Novoabzakovo station.

Big Woodyavr city of Kirovsk or just BigWoods
Do you live near Murmansk in the city of Kirovsk? Then we take the equipment straight and go for a drive up the Bolshoy Vudyavr mountain! What's wrong with that? You will find slopes about 1100 meters above sea level, excellent service and professional services, free WI-FI. The most important event of this year is the replacement of lifts, now there is modern equipment. Below is a diagram of the slopes, it can be viewed live on the official website bigwood.ru.
Where to stay? I recommend the recreation center "Lesnaya", which is a 30-minute drive from the slopes and the hotel "Severnaya" in the city center. Both low cost options can be booked through my website.
Ski resort of Russia in Kamchatka - "Krasnaya Sopka"
In Kamchatka, there is such a Russian ski resort as Krasnaya Sopka, I think all residents of the Far East know about this unique creation of nature, you cannot express everything in words, this ski resort needs to be tested on your own and seen with your own eyes.
Only one picturesque view of the bay, volcanoes and mountains will fascinate you for a lifetime. The cost of one day spent here will be approximately 3200 rubles. To find this ski resort you will need to come to Petropavlovsk - Kamchatsky. In this place there are all kinds of trails from mogul to downhill.

This best ski resort in Russia also has certified professional tracks, the height of the mountain itself is as much as 1850 meters, believe me, this is more than enough for you not only to ski, but also to enjoy the picturesque views of the Alan ridge.
This ski resort can be reached both from Krasnoyarsk by intercity buses and by minibuses from Abakan, the travel time from the city of Abakan is about 50 minutes.
There are many more resorts that can also be called the best and most visited, but they are not so breathtaking as to be recommended for a great winter time.
