Ski complex "Fox Mountain" in Balashikha: photos and reviews from tourists

Previously, in order to bring such an idea to life, it was necessary to go to ski resorts in other countries. Now everything is much simpler. "Fox Mountain" in the Moscow region provides the opportunity to ski on fully equipped slopes. Such a pleasure will cost tourists several times less, and the journey will take a minimum of time.

"Fox Mountain" in Balashikha

Artificial slopes have been formed on the banks of the Pekhorka River over many years. This process was partly associated with the removal of soil after the construction of new residential neighborhoods in the capital, as well as with the construction of additional metro stations.

The resort opened in 2007. Over the past ten years, the administration has been developing a recreation center and opening new trails. The infrastructure has also expanded significantly. "Fox Mountain" welcomes guests all year round. During the warm season, there is a variety of entertainment here:

  • climbing wall;
  • karting;
  • trampolines;
  • rope park.

The winter season opens in November. The trails close in mid-March. If there is insufficient natural snow cover, special cannons begin working here to create artificial coverage.
