Sanatornaya to Dachnoye: A Long Ski Day via the Setun and Vyazyomka Footbridges

The long ski outing from Sanatornaya to Dachnoye begins on the Moscow River side near the Polushkino springs, then enters the western woodland. The Setun beside Setunka and the spring near an older resting area provide the first distinctive river pause. The winter day then changes character, reaching the Ostrovnya and Nakhavnya, the Zvenigorod station approach and the woodland continuation beside the Khaliava. The later section reaches the Bolshaya and Malaya Vyazyomka. Two separate footbridges cross the Malaya Vyazyomka before the continuation towards Dachnoye. This is a demanding day option for confident skiers, combining prolonged independent movement through different river valleys with occasional pauses at specific springs and crossings. Check snow conditions, permitted river and railway connections and the possibility of finishing early at Zvenigorod before travelling.
