Hello,
Im planning on living in Sochi/Krasnaya Polyana in February and March next year to ski and speak Russian. So I have a few questions:
1) Would it be better to live in Sochi and travel to Krasnaya Polyana to ski or to live there?
2) Could I find a homestay easily in either place?
3) Is the snow consistently good there?
4) Are the mountains open and not under construction?
A lot of questions but thank you very much! :)

2014 seems like a long time away but we are hoping to go for the olympic games in 2014. Would need to stay at Polyana area in the mountains. I want to get a feel for the area and ask what local customs i should be aware of? Things to stay away from? Will probably rent a house (lots of us going) rather than a hotel. Something close to the sliding centre and village. If anyone has any suggestions of tips i'd love to know them. Also the best way to get to Sochi from say Germany or Austria.

I'm planning a trip around black sea coast. I would like to go from Sochi to Sukhumi (Abkhazia). Is it difficult to cross the border and get there?
And is it difficult from Sukhumi to get into Georgia?

Thanks

Hi, I'm visiting Sochi from a cruise ship. I would like to visit Sochi without doing an organised ships excursion. Would we need a visa for just the day?

I'm considering accompanying a friend on a business trip to Sochi in March. I'll be by myself most of the time (American female)and without a car. We can stay at the Pearl Hotel (where my friend is being put up for the work) or we can stay somewhere else (company will pay for). I don't speak Russian, but love to travel and see new places. Anybody recommend, and if so hotel, food and sightseeing/activity tips (remember no car) appreciated - or do I save my miles for somewhere better.

Hello!
I went to Sochi and Krasnaya Polyana a few years back and saw some of the hinterland of the Black Sea coast and mountain valleys in from Krasnaya Polyana. This was done by helicopter (survey) mostly and the situation with Abkhazia at the time made hiking uncertain, and no maps were given due to the security situation.
But is it nowadays possible to go hiking/trekking in this area during the summer season - the upper reaches of Myzimtha river or what the name now was, bringing my own tent etc.? And are there organised - or possible to organize - group treks via a local commerical guide/outfitter?
It was one of the most beautiful mountain areas I have ever seen, and I'd like to come back, but seeing the area on foot. I have hiking and outdoor experience from many places, but definitely looking for lookal advice.
Thanks,
Saagar

Hello to all you fellow travellers,
This summer it finally will happen. When travelling to Southern Russia, we will also stay a week in the Sochi area (Lazarovskaya, Adler, Sochi and Krasnaya Polyana). Please, if anyone has tips for this time there, which would be appropriate for a family with a little boy of 4 years old, I would be very happy to read them here in this posting. Tips regarding shelter (hotel, gastinitsa, B&B, appartment of small houses) are most welcome, but I am into learning everything about greater Sochi in activities and sightseeings as well.

Thank you very much, bolsjay spasiba,

Paul
