A new trail, codenamed 1A, has opened at the Mamison resort.

Mamison invites you to a new workshop on creating a handmade book.
On Saturday, February 14, the resort will host a workshop on creating a zine—a hand-made publication featuring personal impressions of a mountain vacation. Enrollment is currently open.
The workshop will be led by Polina Likhacheva, editor of the resort's channel and organizer of blog tours, an art festival, and other creative events at Mamison.
"A zine is a personalized mini-magazine. Participants will experience the entire process from scratch: from the idea and text to images, layout, and hand-assembly, printing their favorite photos, assembling collages, trying linocuts, and making their own stamps," explains the author.
The "Slow Life Workshop" project launched on February 7. It is a series of intimate events at various locations throughout the resort, designed to immerse participants in creativity, new skills, and a slower pace in the beautiful Mamison Gorge.
Registration for the first meeting with photographer Rada Sadygova closed within the first few hours. The conceptual photography workshop attracted 20 participants from Vladikavkaz, Nalchik, Pyatigorsk, Grozny, Makhachkala, and even St. Petersburg. Tatyana from St. Petersburg came for her birthday, looking for a new experience. Gulshat came with her husband: he to go skiing, and she to relax.
Among the participants were both professional photographers and those who only shoot with their phones. They shared one common thread: the desire to see and feel more.
"Rebooting, slowing down, and a creative boost—it all happened. When you take pictures, you feel like you're outside of time," the participants shared.
The project organizers—the Kavkaz.RF communications team—are planning a culinary meeting with Mercada chef Marina Kozonova, a bookshelf opening from the "Po Slogam" project by Anna Yanchevskaya and Victoria Malakhova (Kim), and musical and creative experiments.
On February 21st, a life sketching workshop will be held at Mamison as part of the "Slow Life Workshop." It will be held in the resort's future gallery and will be led by Sergey Mikhitarov, a photographer and artist from Pyatigorsk.
Participants will learn to work with a model, capturing character and movement. The goal will be to create a quick drawing—without excessive perfectionism, but with attention to detail.
A culinary master class will be held at "Mamison" as part of "Master's slow life". It will be hosted by Marina Kozonova - chef of restaurants Mercada Group ("Khohag", "Hidikus Aul"). The author of all gastronomic dinners at Mamison.
Marina Kozonova constantly tries new things, gets fired up with ideas and immediately turns them into projects. S ней кухня is a living process, not a script. Total slowdown is in the plans. working with fire, cooking in silence, choosing quality instead of speed.
Each guest cooks his author's potion - berries in a decoction of mountain herbs. Trout will be cooked on the street. On dessert napoleon.
On March 7, a literary event will take place at Mamison. It will be led by Anna Yanchevskaya and Victoria Malakhova (Kim), the creators of the "By Syllables" project. They run the "Word Circle" and also organize literary retreats.
The hosts will discuss the culture of slow reading: how to concentrate, where to focus, and how to better understand yourself through text.
The event will take place at the Grand Galabu restaurant.
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.
Starting March 17, ski passes at the Mamison resort are available for half price.
The price will be 1,400 rubles for adults and 800 rubles for children (6-13). The same prices apply to walking passes.
