Sochi National Park Essentials

Sochi National Park encompasses diverse landscapes ranging from the subtropical Yew-and-Boxwood Grove, home to prehistoric flora, to the 2,320-meter Roza Peak in the Caucasus Mountains. The area features the 1936 Romanesque-style Akhun Tower, Stalin’s former summer dacha, and the grand Stalinist Empire architecture of the Ordzhonokidze Sanatorium. Natural highlights include the Agura and 33 Waterfalls, the mythological Eagle Rock, and the Akhshtyrskaya Cave, a significant Paleolithic site. The park also preserves the 2014 Olympic legacy at the Sanki Sliding Center near Krasnaya Polyana.
