Mamison celebrates its first anniversary.
On March 14, the Mamison ski resort turned one year old. In this short time, this project of the Kavkaz.RF development institute has experienced a lifespan that takes many projects years: from its first ski run to more than 65,000 guests.
Mamison immediately showed its character: unpredictable mountain weather, wide pistes, festivals, glossy magazine cover shoots, and a massive light show that transformed the mountain slope into a grand stage for one evening. Among the guests were not only skiers and mountain hikers. In its first year, Mamison became a venue for cultural events, bringing together a wide variety of audiences.
"The main goal, which we managed to achieve, was to make the resort an all-season resort." We've created modern infrastructure, built a domestically produced cable car, and thought through ways to attract a wide range of guests: families with children, active recreation enthusiasts, artists, and those seeking peace and quiet in the mountains. The program of events is scheduled throughout the year, from sports to cultural projects," noted Andrey Yumshanov, CEO of Kavkaz.RF.
Today, winter Mamison boasts 19 kilometers of ski slopes. Here, you can spend the day on the slopes and in the evening visit the "Slow Life Workshop"—a place for socializing, creating, and meeting with artists amidst the mountains. Guests can choose from three accommodation options: the dolomite lodges "Bayray" and "Mamison," the capsule cottages "AstroBase," or the "Kalak" hotel, located just two minutes from the cable car. The resort has a total capacity of 200 beds.
In summer, Mamison becomes the perfect place for long walks and discoveries: 15 kilometers of scenic eco-trails, slopes covered with snowdrops and rhododendrons, a campground, and ancient villages all around. In its first year, the area hosted an art festival, a trail-building festival, a chamber orchestra concert at an altitude of 2,950 meters, and a high-altitude trail.
The project also received several professional awards: the All-Russian Investment Award "Vershina" for tourism development, the national "Mountains of Russia" award in the "Discovery of the Year" category, the "Silver Archer" award in the "Creative Industries" category, and the Ski Business Awards for "Best Promotion."
This year, guests can expect a rich program: an art festival, a film festival, and sporting events. Upcoming plans include opening a contemporary art exhibition space and participating with a large prototype stand at the Caucasus Investment Forum.
