Getting there

Without a car

Reach Krasnaya Polyana by the main available train or bus connection, then continue to the start of “Водопад Поликаря + Купель 960” by local bus, shuttle, taxi or on foot as appropriate. Check seasonal timetables before travelling. This is a point-to-point route, so arrange the return from the finish in advance.

By car

Drive via the A-149 to Krasnaya Polyana toward the start of “Водопад Поликаря + Купель 960”. Continue only on roads open to private vehicles and complete restricted or rough sections on foot or by an authorised transfer. Leaving a car at the start does not solve the return journey.

Parking

Use an official car park at a resort or cable-car car park. Keep access roads, barriers and emergency routes clear.
