Guest houses and sanatoriums ride on an ice slide. Where to ride cheesecakes in the Moscow region
Increasingly, city residents prefer leisure in the fresh air. Residents of Moscow were no exception. Every winter, snow and ice slides for sledding and tubing appear in the city. Every year their popularity only grows, and the number of places for skiing increases. We bring to your attention the most popular places for tubing in Moscow. We’ll also talk about what snow tubing is, how to choose the right sports equipment for skiing, what types of slides there are and price categories.
Snowtubing
This word is the name of an old Russian pastime - downhill skating, more often called "vatrushka" (tubing) skating. This is an inflatable rubber chamber, externally reminiscent of the baked goods of the same name, tubing - from the English tube - pipe. Each device has two handles to hold onto during descent. “Vatrushki” come in four sizes in diameter: 80, 95, 110 and 125 centimeters. Tubing is quite an extreme entertainment, as the speed during the descent can reach 100 kilometers per hour. It is not recommended to brake with your feet - this can lead to serious injury and also injure others around you. The approximate price of one tube is 1,400 rubles.
Where to go tubing ("cheesecake") in Moscow
All snow and ice slides in the capital city are divided into three types:
- Slides that have no restrictions, you can ride them as much as you want and on anything completely free.
- Special slides for tubing; if you have your own equipment, the ride will be absolutely free. If you don’t have your own cheesecake, you can rent one here.
- Another category of slides, where the use of your own tubes is prohibited, excludes free skating.
On paid tubing slides in Moscow, payment is provided for each descent or hourly. These slides are usually equipped with a lift, which makes the ride more comfortable.
Where can you ride for free?
Let's look at places in Moscow where you can go tubing for free. We suggest visiting the following parks and complexes:
- Gorky Park;
- city park "Friendship";
- Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo Park;
- Krylatsky Hills complex;
- Catherine Park;
- Vorobyovy Gory reserve;
- Bitsevsky and Troparevsky forest parks.
It should be noted that few of them have rental stations and safety barriers.
How to choose the right tubing
Below is a description of this equipment already filled with air. The diameter of the cheesecake is selected depending on the height of the user. When a child grows up to 110 centimeters, the diameter of the tube should be 65-85 centimeters, up to 140 - 90-95 cm, up to 175 - 100-110 cm. For those whose height exceeds 175 centimeters, you should choose a “cheesecake” 120-125 cm in diameter It is not recommended to purchase a tubing for children to grow; for people who are overweight, you should choose a tubing with a large diameter.
Moscow and Moscow region - places for tubing
Let's look at the most famous cheesecake slides. Let's find out their pros and cons and draw appropriate conclusions.

The length of the slope of this slide is 200 m and the height is 13.5 meters. The following advantages can be highlighted:
- This artificial route is considered the highest in Moscow.

The session lasts for 45 minutes, then there is a short break.
The disadvantages include:
- There is always a long queue at the ticket office and on the slide.
- The lift doesn't work; it's hard to get up, especially with a double cheesecake.

How to get there: walk 20 minutes from Bagrationovskaya metro station, the hill is located next to the main alley of the park.
"Merry Hill" at VDNKh
Another track in Moscow for tubing. Its length is 35, height is 8 meters. Pros: located next to the skating rink, looks very fun. The slide has two tracks. One is shorter, the second is longer and faster. You can bring your own tubes.
Minuses. This slide was created by specialists in ski slopes. But no frills were found in it during the descent. The price per hour is 300 rubles.
Location: VDNH metro station, on the right side of the skating rink, between entrances 2 and 3, not far from the Optics pavilion.

It has two slopes - for the youngest children and older children. Riding on it is only allowed on cheesecakes; if you have your own, the descent will be absolutely free.
Minuses. Unfortunate location - next to the warrior monument. Rentals require a deposit. Price: a large “cheesecake” will cost 150 rubles (30 minutes) + deposit, small tubing (for children under 12 years old): 100 rubles (30 minutes) + deposit of one thousand rubles or a passport. This cheesecake slide is located in Moscow, next to the Oktyabrskaya or Park Kultury metro stations.
Best tubing park
If you have the opportunity to leave the city, we recommend visiting one of the best tubing parks in the Moscow region - Elagino. Here you can have a wonderful weekend with your family or friends. The descent in this park is equipped with lifts and music. The trails are well lit. It is possible to rent sports equipment. If necessary, you will be provided with the necessary medical care. Experienced, qualified instructors work here who can provide you with a comfortable ride and maintain a festive mood. The park is located just ten minutes from the center of Naro-Fominsk, near the village of Elagino.
Specially equipped tracks
Where can you go on inflatable tubing in Moscow? It is customary to ride them even at European resorts. In Moscow, it is still better to ride on specially equipped trails. Currently exists a large number of safe snow slopes in Moscow. It’s good when there are lifts and tubing rental stations. Let's consider ski center in Novo-Peredelkino.
There are trails of varying difficulty and height. For beginners and children, the trails located in the new Blue Bird quarter are suitable. To overcome fears and to hone your technique of skiing on a cheesecake, the slopes of the Severnoye Butovo ski slope are suitable. On Vorobyovy Gory, fans of downhill skiing will see a seventy-meter long track, which is beautifully illuminated in the evenings. Nearby there is a kiosk where you can buy hot coffee, tea and various sweets. There is skiing available here during the day and evening. Another extraordinary thing a nice place for skiing - Rostokino, where the slopes of the Yauza River serve as slides.
Those who want to go a little further from Moscow should go to the park (sports and entertainment) - “Yakhroma”, which is located in the Moscow region. Four will appear before you ski slopes. An air cushion for jumping will bring special pleasure and give an indescribable sensation. Volen Park is also not far behind this place; the local toboggan run will greatly appeal to brave tubing lovers.
After I went sledding in Finland, I was inspired to repeat it in Russia. Unfortunately, we don’t have the same slopes as our neighbors, but we do have so-called tubing, which is enough even for a small slide. It’s not for nothing that this type of winter entertainment is called modern sleds, which are easy to pull after riding uphill compared to metal ones. By the way, besides the fact that these so-called “cheesecakes” are madly loved by children, they are also very popular by adults, who remember with pleasure the joys of childhood.”
In general, we can generally highlight the following advantages, which suit me quite well:
- Sooooo many slides you can ride on
- Inexpensive rental

In this article we talked about all the capital's roller coasters. But, it should be remembered that the weather in the capital is very changeable. Therefore, before going to any hill, you should look out the window in advance to make sure that there is a good snow cover on the ground.
Let's hope that this winter the weather will still allow fans of downhill skiing to have plenty of fun and recharge themselves in a great mood. But be sure to remember safety. After all, the organizers of such entertainment warn: “Using tubing is your own risk!”
It's no secret that sledding, skiing, ice skating, and ice skating are a favorite Russian pastime. Moreover, it has long been transformed into a tradition, the roots of which go back to the distant past. The winter period in our country lasts on average five months: you must agree, this is quite a long time. In ancient times, sleighs were almost the only vehicle in the cold season. And the pleasure of traveling on it was not cheap.
Today, downhill skating as one of the options has not lost its former popularity. Well, what else to do and entertain your own children in new year holidays? The answer suggests itself. However, not everyone knows (especially guests of the capital’s metropolis) where to go downhill in Moscow. Let's consider this issue in more detail. It should be noted that there are a huge number of places in Belokamennaya where you can enjoy traditional Russian entertainment.
Boring Garden
If you don’t have the slightest idea about where to go downhill in Moscow, then go there.
There is simply an incredible number of ski trails here: from small and gentle to huge and steep. And in some areas it is possible to ride on paths. The central place for skating is located to the right of the entrance (between the eighteenth and twentieth buildings on Leninsky Prospekt). However, be careful: brake in time, otherwise you may fly directly to the roadway.
Kolomenskoye Park
The steepest routes are in the central zone of the park (the river bank behind the Temple of the Ascension). If you walk a little further towards the hills, you can see crowds of children storming the lower slopes. You can climb up from the foot of the hills and enjoy a rather picturesque landscape. In a word, if you don’t know where to go downhill in Moscow, then one of the best places- this is Kolomenskoye Park.
Kuzminsky Park
The main trajectories of routes here are focused on the cascade of Kuzminsky ponds.
You will find the steepest and highest ones at Nizhny Kuzminsky and Shibaevsky.
Sparrow Hills
Many residents of the metropolitan metropolis, when asked where to go downhill in Moscow, will confidently answer: “On Sparrow Hills!” In this part of the city there is perhaps the highest track, which can immediately get the blood pumping in an amateur luger. The slide is located directly under observation deck. Crowds of people come here on weekends, and the chance of bumping into someone is very high.

Losiny Island
An incredible variety of slides are located on site Elk Island. The steepest slopes are located in the entrance area to the forest park from Rostokinsky Proezd. Also popular among Muscovites are the trails located near the Moscow Ring Road and in close proximity to Kurganskaya Street.

Visitors are captivated by the fact that there is a lot of space here and the likelihood of a sledding “accident” is reduced to almost zero.
Of course, this is a long list of places where you can go downhill skiing. You can go to any slope you like.
Skiing
Of course, many people remember with particular warmth those times when, during physical education lessons at school, the teacher allowed the class to go skiing in the winter.
Such a pastime had many advantages: fresh air, cheerfulness and extremely positive emotions. In our country, skiing has always been at the peak of popularity, since the weather conditions in Russia are simply created for it to be practiced both at a professional and amateur level. Moreover, for example, compared to snowboarding, skiing provides greater physical activity, since skiing involves different muscle groups. And believe me, this is just one of the many reasons why Russians love skiing.
Of course, in the metropolitan area there are many places where you can practice this sport.
So, where can you go downhill skiing in Moscow? Of course, the ideal area for this is park areas, of which there are countless in the capital. Moreover, most of them have ski rental points, so if you forgot your ski equipment or you can’t afford it, you can rent it. The price of the minimum set varies approximately from 100 to 300 rubles for one hour.

Believe me, in the metropolitan metropolis you can also get great pleasure from the traditional Russian fun, which was mentioned at the beginning of this article.
No one has been riding on a sled or on a cardboard placed under their butt for a long time - everyone has switched to tubing. We chose the Moscow roller coaster, which you can go down really quickly and fun - you can go there with your own tubing, or you can rent it.
Gorki in Kolomenskoye
There are two natural slopes open for skiing here. For kids, a safe and fairly gentle slope on Nizhnaya Street is suitable, and for speed lovers, a steep descent closer to the central part of the park on Zelenaya Polyana is suitable. Another winter fun in Kolomenskoye - a ride on a six-seater inflatable "Banana".
