TrailTrack routes

This 3 km circular cross-country skiing route passes through terrain where shore or waterside sections are recorded on the route. Noticeable climbing: 75 m of total ascent over 3 km. Estimated moving time is about 0.7 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

A local woodland circuit allows a focused ski outing with a return to the same place, without arranging collection from another settlement.

Follow the northern Semkhoz section, meet the Vorya along the western continuation and add a Khlyby-side out-and-back before the southern arc to Kalistovo. This version shows how a substantial ski day links different sides of the area between two halts on the Yaroslavsky direction.

Link Sima, the Setun River near Sharapovo and the Belozyorovo passage in one prolonged run returning towards Zvenigorod’s railway. The interest lies in a sequence of actual woodland waters and watercourses, rather than replacing this journey with Zvenigorod’s town embankment.

Combine woodland skiing with an actual encounter with the Petritsa on the northern side. This option provides more continuation between the trees than the neighbouring Green Circuit and returns to a familiar woodland area. Choose it for an independent winter outing with a small-river-valley pause.

Spend a substantial running day between Bakovka and Kuntsevo, connecting Big Lazenkovsky and Meshchersky ponds, Malevich’s Cipher, Bibigon and Kabanya Glade. This version has its own historical identity: the course selected for the 2023 New Year run after snowfall.

Try compact skating practice on the western side of Klimovsk’s woodland. Returning to the same junction helps structure an independent session: first learn the bends and assess snow, then decide whether another lap is worthwhile. The northern continuation makes this a distinct choice among neighbouring ski loops.

Follow a long western ski loop from Radonezh and add this particular western out-and-back. The Yakhroma on the southern side separates the distant section from the return, while one starting and finishing halt helps organise the train journey.

Cross the western side of the named Lytsenka Transitional Mire Sanctuary while linking two different railway sides of the Moscow region. The northern arc continues this distinct running outing; Morozovo Lake and its shore belong to another version.

Run from Strogino through Shulgino and Podushkino towards woodland waters and Perkhushkovo. This version combines First Shulgino Pond, two archaeological places and the Sominka–Betonka–Forest Lake–Pear Pond sequence, while Pionerskaya offers a separately checked earlier finishing option.

Ski through the southwestern part of Klimovsk’s woodland and return to a familiar start. This option changes a usual northern lap while retaining a clear return point. After a relaxed first outing, decide whether to continue training or finish before the journey home.

Spend an evening moving from Nemchinovka towards Romashkovo Forest and Strogino, meeting Chachenka Stream, Hidden Ravine and High Glade. This directed outing connects the suburbs with Moscow, while the metro return removes the need to repeat the woodland passage.

Follow a western ski arc from Radonezh to Abramtsevo halt, meet the Yakhroma and add a short out-and-back. Different starting and finishing halts give this version its own purpose, while the northern continuation differs from the circuit returning to Radonezh.

Combine a substantial woodland run with two different village histories: Troitse-Lykovo beside the Moscow River and Laykovo on the western continuation. Churches, the Odintsovo-2 place and real streams give the journey several changes of character. Perkhushkovo’s railway provides a useful return point when time and stamina are kept in reserve.

Extend the Radonezh ski arc with an independent Beklemishevo-side passage and see the Yakhroma at two different locations. The outer western passage, additional southwestern section and inner return give the training journey its own sequence.

After establishing permitted connections, combine a sustained woodland run towards Surmino with Dyutkovo’s musical history. Taneyev’s house museum, the Korallovo chapel and real watercourses give the journey meaningful pause points. This option covers a broad stretch of countryside and requires the Moscow River crossing issue to be resolved beforehand.

Repeat the specific 2022 New Year running course from Bakovka, in which Romashkovo’s glades and Skolkovo art culminate in two literary characters. The journey links woodland, river and urban sculpture, ending on Moscow’s Molodyozhnaya side.

Ski a compact woodland lap without a lengthy remote extension. Its eastern location distinguishes it from Klimovsk’s western skiing options, while returning to the same woodland area lets you choose repeats according to your energy. It offers a relaxed independent training plan after snow and approach checks.

Connect Opalikha woodland, a short Lohin Island visit, western Podushkino Forest and the actual waters before Pionerskaya. Railway access at the departure and conclusion enables a substantial independent running day with changing places along the way.

This variant explores the wooded side of the Ashukino surroundings and reaches the area of historical group rest stops at Khlyby. Pause beside the chapel before leaving the settlement streets.

Choose it for a long trail-running day in the Nerskaya basin and the gradual passage between distinct river valleys. The Nerskaya, Sechenka and Teterka provide real stopping places, while finishing in Shevlyagino avoids retracing the whole journey.

Connect the protected Nerskoye woods with two distinct Klubish locations and finish around a broad northern arc towards Morozki. Beyond the stream, the woodland journey follows its own continuation rather than turning to Iksha; this gives the passage its particular character.

The variant reveals how long club ski outings linked Morozki surroundings with the Yakhroma valley. The bridge near Khlyby is a specific stop on the former passage, available for consideration after the chosen section’s access has been checked.

Turn a regular run into a directed Pionerskaya–Skolkovo outing, meeting Pear Pond, Forest Lake, Betonka and Sominka Stream. Lazutinka adds Podushkino Forest’s established sporting atmosphere, while railway access at both ends simplifies travel.
