In Russia there are a lot of mountain systems, and the mountains are very diverse - these are the sharp peaks of the Caucasian mountains, and the low hills of Khibin, as well as the round volcanic mountains of Kamchatka or the smooth outlines of the Altai hills. At the same time, the Caucasus and the Urals have been the most popular regions for many years. Elbrus, Krasnaya Polyana, Dombai are all Caucasian resorts. But in the Urals, the main ski areas are located in the Sverdlovsk region, Chelyabinsk region and Bashkortostan.
