Where to go to rest in Russia in February?
First of all, it is worth noting the spring vacation at the ski resorts, at this time the cold season is especially well tolerated in the mountainous regions, and prices begin to drop significantly.
Rest in February in Sochi, Rosa Khutor
At this resort, a good offer is a settlement in the Sochi Park Hotel. This is really an inexpensive holiday in February in Russia, a hotel room itself will cost you 5 thousand rubles per day per person. Operator - BiblioGlobus, accommodation for two adults with a child will cost 35 thousand rubles per week (if you choose the minimum class of service that does not include meals).
Spring holidays with children in Sochi on an all-inclusive system are offered by the Sochi Breeze SPA-hotel. A naturally higher class of service also means an increase in payment, from 87 thousand you will have to pay for the tour, and from 61,000 if you choose only accommodation in a hotel. But the opportunity to use the most modern of the Russian ski resorts - Rosa Khutor - is worth the investment! February in this place is the driest month of the year, the average daytime air temperature is +2.3 degrees, and at night - 0.9.

Many tourists like to travel around Russia on their own; a trip from most cities is cheaper. A family of three will be able to arrive from Moscow for a spring vacation in the mountains of Russia on board Ural Airlines in 2 hours 25 minutes and 5600 rubles, respectively. Slightly more expensive "victorious" flights take off from Vnukovo, and within 10,000 you can use UTair, S7, NordStar and Aeroflot planes.
You can plan your vacation on your own using the ticket search engine - Aviasales. Hotels with the lowest prices can be found using RoomGuru, it compares most of the hotel databases on the Internet and provides excellent options.
February trip to Dombay
A tour to the Snezhny Bars hotel complex turns out to be more affordable than others. Unfortunately, vouchers to Dombai are sold out rapidly, and the probability of booking a place on the all-inclusive system even in two months is small. But a vacation 350 meters from the family lift for 7 days will cost 60 - 70 thousand, depending on the chosen operator.
It is worth buying a tour in Russia for February in Dombay already because it will allow you to experience the advantages of the high ski season. Temperature drops are relatively small, and day and night values are favorable for family leisure. Compared to January, the number of cloudy days is increasing, although clear weather prevails. The strongest frosts are up to minus twenty.
It will be much cheaper to negotiate directly with the hotel than to book a trip. So, Crystal Hotel offers to spend a week for a family for 38 thousand rubles. 10 minutes of leisurely stroll separate the residents from the ski lifts. In two hours and twenty minutes, having paid 4500 "Pobeda", the family will be able to enter the airport of Mineralnye Vody, from where intercity buses and taxi cars follow in the direction of Dombai. Three seats on Ural Airlines will cost about six thousand rubles, for comparable amounts of passengers are transported by S7, UTair, NordStar and Aeroflot.
Dombay under the snow is gloomy even at noon gorges, coniferous thickets and non-freezing river streams. Experts advise using the lift going to the top of Mount Musa-Achitara. No one has yet regretted that they paid money for the opportunity to see THIS. You can order horse excursions in the surrounding forests, which will be no less exciting. And also visit the Devil's Mill canyon, Alibek and Gonachkhir gorges, Sentin temple and the Muruju river.

Choosing Kemerovo, you will pay 37-38 thousand for a seat on board, provided by the rare airline Globus, and spend 255 minutes in the air. All ways to get there.
The cheapest is to fly to Novosibirsk, seats from Pobeda will cost around 12 thousand, Red Wings flies for a comparable amount, and after making 14 thousand, you can board the Nordavia liner.

Be sure to visit not only the snow-covered slopes of the mountains, but also Mount Mustag, Mednaya rock, Sagu (this is the name of the waterfall), there are also a lot of caves.
February rest in Krasnaya Polyana
Tours to Bridge Mountain from 43 thousand rubles with breakfast and from 50 thousand if you also want to receive dinner at the hotel. Krasnaya Polyana is one of the leading ski resorts in the Russian Federation, and that says it all.
When traveling on your own, we recommend looking at accommodation at the Grace Project Hotel, booking a room will cost 33 thousand rubles.
Tours to Krasnaya Polyana for February should be booked at most until the end of November, later it is impossible to buy them at all, and there are no tickets left.
The climatic regime is favorable for skiing: the air is relatively warm at any time of the day, and at the same time, snowfalls are abundant. The snow cover is maintained at a good level and the descent along the trail is an extraordinary pleasure. The frequency of clear and sunny days is almost the same. The place is just right to answer the question of where to rest in Russia in the spring.
Airbuses from Victory (2 hours 10 minutes, 4100), Nordavia (4800), Red Wings (5.5 thousand) fly to Adler. UTair, Aeroflot, Russia, Globus, Nordwind also meet the limits of 10 thousand.
We recommend joining an excursion group, it is many times more interesting than a simple climb on the funicular and a couple of photographs, millions of times already filmed angles. On Rosa Khutor there is a rope amusement park, an ethnographic center, an old fortress.
