Skiing near Saint Petersburg: lift pass prices for 2026/27 and how to get there without a car

Saint Petersburg has no mountains, but it does have five working ski hills within two hours of the city. Season passes for winter 2026/27 are already on sale: at Zolotaya Dolina in Korobitsyno an adult pass costs 47,500 roubles and a weekday-only pass 19,800 roubles. At neighbouring Snezhny an adult pass is 44,900 roubles, or 40,400 if you buy before 1 November 2026. A combined pass covering both resorts costs 60,000 roubles.

Day tickets have not been announced yet. As of 2 October 2026 the Okhta Park slopes page still says "closed until next season", and Krasnoye Ozero's lift-ticket page shows only summer prices. That is normal here: daily rates appear a week or two before the lifts start.

Okhta Park: closest to the city, with a hidden fee

Okhta Park sits in Mistolovo, which the resort describes as 10 km from Saint Petersburg. Nine runs, a vertical drop of up to 55 metres, longest run 390 metres, lifts open daily 11:00–21:00.

Watch the park entrance fee, charged separately from the lift pass: free on Mondays, 300 roubles per person Tuesday to Thursday, 400 roubles on Fridays, weekends and holidays. Bus 656 runs from Grazhdansky Prospekt metro and takes 30–40 minutes; the last bus back leaves the resort at 21:50. Minibus K680 runs from Devyatkino every 30 minutes, 07:00 to 22:00.

Tuutari Park: the only one reachable by train

Tuutari Park lies on the Duderhof Heights. Take a suburban train from Baltiysky station to Krasnoye Selo (about 40 minutes), then bus 479. It is also the only resort still publishing last season's prices: a weekday adult hour costs 1200 roubles and three hours 2000; at weekends, 1500 and 2700. A single lift ride is 300 roubles. A ski set rents for 1500 roubles an hour on weekdays, 1700 at weekends; a helmet is 500 roubles.

A passport is never accepted as a rental deposit anywhere in the region. Bring a driving licence plus a vehicle registration document, or leave 30,000 roubles in cash.

Korobitsyno: three resorts in one village

The real slopes are in Korobitsyno, about an hour and a half from the city by car. Without a car: a train from Finlyandsky station to Sosnovo, then bus 645 or 646 for roughly 70 minutes. Bus 898 also runs from Parnas metro.

Last season a weekday hour at Zolotaya Dolina cost 1200 roubles and a weekend hour 1600. Krasnoye Ozero rents an adult ski set for 1200–1600 roubles an hour, and its ice rink costs 500 roubles on weekdays and 800 at weekends, skates 1000.

First time on skis, and when the season starts

Hire an instructor. At Krasnoye Ozero a private hour costs 4000 roubles, half an hour 3000, a group lesson 3500 roubles per person. The lift pass is not included, no booking is needed, and pupils with an instructor skip the queue. Zolotaya Dolina sells weekday packages: three one-hour lessons for 9600 roubles.

Every resort here relies on snow cannons, covering one or two main runs first — which is why a map showing ten runs can mean two open pistes in December. Tuutari Park closed the 2024/25 season on 30 March, so in a good year skiing lasts until spring. Over the New Year holidays weekend pricing applies every day. Check the webcam and the weekly slope schedule before you travel; both are updated far more often than the price list.
