The ska track in kavgolovo is under threat. Weekend Ski Resort: Kavgolovo Ski slope in Kavgolovo

Kavgolovo is not just a hotel complex, but a country recreation center with good infrastructure. Fans of outdoor activities have something to do here all year round: in winter - boarding and skiing, sledding and cheesecakes, in summer - mini-golf, boats, tennis. At the same time, which is especially convenient, the complex is located just twenty kilometers north of St. Petersburg - at the foot of the Northern slope.

Residence. The hotel room fund consists of two-, three- and five-bed rooms with private facilities (shower and toilet). The situation, however, is not far from the Soviet one (simple single beds, a minimum of inexpensive furniture), and household appliances (TVs and refrigerators) are available only in rooms with additional amenities. But on the other hand, prices are an order of magnitude lower than at more modern recreation centers and in country hotels.

Restaurant complex. The hotel dining room has a capacity of 150 seats. The prices are quite pleasant: complex (breakfast, lunch and dinner) - 400 rubles, breakfast - from 100 rubles, lunch - from 180 rubles, dinner - from 120 rubles. Meals are very hearty, the menu is varied. In addition, the complex has a cafe-bar with snacks and alcohol.

Nature. The environs of Toskovo are one of the most beautiful places in the Leningrad region (see photo): century-old pines, hills, lakes ... Not far away is the famous Toskovsky bison reserve - the northernmost point in Europe, where these unique animals live.

Sports and active recreation. Opportunities for outdoor activities in Kavgolovo are almost unlimited. Let's start with winter sports. For lovers of skiing and boarding, the North slope is equipped for skiing; There are four lifts, including a rope tow. If you don’t know how to ski, but you still want adrenaline, the Wild Cheesecakes track is for you: no less scary and fun, but no special skills are required. For those who prefer outdoor activities without extreme sports - cross-country skiing.

In spring and summer, mini-football, basketball and volleyball are played in Kavgolovo - there are also equipped playgrounds for this on the territory of the complex. In addition, there are table tennis tables, a shooting range, bicycles and boats. Most often, it is not necessary to bring equipment for either winter or summer sports with you - rental points work (exceptions are boards and skiing).

Finally, there is a paintball court on the territory of the complex - it can be used at any time of the year.

Entertainment. If during the day in Kavgolovo everything is adapted for outdoor activities, then in the evening you want more relaxing entertainment. In this case, the hotel complex has a sauna with a relaxation room, billiards, barbecue areas (braziers can be rented here).

For more than 30 years, the SKA LenVO Sports Complex has been a base for year-round training of winter sports representatives and an arena for holding competitions of various ranks and scales. The Kavgolovsky Games, famous in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, the stages of the World Cup in cross-country skiing and Nordic combined, international, all-Russian and city competitions of skiers, biathletes and combined athletes were held here.
Winter sports teams from Russia, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region have held and are still holding training camps here, orienteers and rowers, cyclists and climbers have tested and test their strength. In recent years, mass sports events have also been held here, gathering hundreds of participants and becoming famous throughout Russia - such as the Toks Marathon and the Hepojärvi Tour, which combines competitions in cross-country skiing, cross-country skiing, cycling and roller skiing. Gunde Svan, Per Elofson, Bjorn Daly, Thomas Alsgaard, Mika Myllula, Vladimir Smirnov and many others competed on the SKA tracks. Here Yulia Chepalova won her first victory at the World Cup stage, becoming an Olympic champion a month later.

The SKA Sports Complex, located on the shores of Lake Hepojärvi, included:

Sports base with a stadium, a rowing center, a hall, hotels, a boiler room and a canteen;
- Biathlon shooting range;
- A ski track certified by the International Ski Federation (FIS) in its time (for certification, the track was laid, profiled and cleared of vegetation in accordance with the FIS certification requirements);
- The only ski-roller and cross-country tracks in the vicinity of St. Petersburg

The combination of the required topography, favorable microclimate, prepared for the development of infrastructure and transport accessibility make the SKA Sports Complex a truly unique base for training athletes of all levels and holding competitions in various sports. A similar complex within a radius of 250 km from St. Petersburg No . Unfortunately, these advantages have also attracted people with other interests. As a result, last summer and this fall, the threat of destruction hung over the complex.

Over the past few months, active and large-scale work has been carried out directly on the ski and biathlon track of the SKA sports base in the village of Toksovo in the area of ​​​​Lake Hepojärvi and the biathlon shooting range, related to cutting down forests and moving soil and marking areas for building (photos are attached). Work is being carried out on the famous Samurai climb, which, due to its complexity, has been honored to have a proper name. Judging by the ongoing excavation work and the posted markings, the lift itself, as part of the ski and biathlon tracks, should be destroyed.

Many children's sections, teams from St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region and amateur athletes involved in various sports: biathlon, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, orienteering, mountain climbing, cycling, etc. use this complex not only for competitions, but also as a base for training. On the tracks laid along the Toksovo hills, athletes grew and polished their skills, which became the pride of Soviet and Russian sports: Evdokia Mekshilo and Nina Gavrylyuk, Lyubov Egorova and Evgeny Belyaev, Nikolai Puzanov and Rinat Safin, Anatoly Alyabyev and Dmitry Vasiliev, Vladimir Drachev and other legendary representatives Leningrad and St. Petersburg.

Transfer for development and subsequent the inevitable exclusion of the use of the famous Samurai climb as part of the route, directly on which deforestation is being carried out and marking signs are installed, will make it PRINCIPALLY IMPOSSIBLE to use not only this section, but the ENTIRE sports complex for holding official All-Russian and international competitions . This is due to the fact that there are no other climbs in the vicinity of the SKA shooting range that have the elevation and profile required for certification.

The current situation and the threat looming over the ski and biathlon complex cause extreme concern among the sports community, active athletes and sports organizations in our region, however, appeals to the administration of the village of Toksovo and the leaders of the LenVo Army Sports Club did not bring clarity. Rather, on the contrary, from the answers of the administration representatives it became clear that either the leadership of the Army Sports Club does not control what is happening in the territory under its jurisdiction, or deliberately does not provide information about the development to representatives of sports federations, state bodies and the public interested in using the Complex for its intended purpose.

Hello everyone!

I was put on cross-country skiing at about the same age I learned to walk. V hometown snow lay for 8 months, and a forest began across the road from the house. Having moved to St. Petersburg 7 years ago, I really missed my favorite slopes, and began to look for recreation centers with ski rentals. That's how I found out about "Kavgolovo"...

Location: Toksovo village, 20 km north of St. Petersburg

How to get there: the most convenient way is by car, but we went by minibus from the Devyatkino metro station to the Fantastica store, and then walked for another half an hour on foot through the dacha village. Trains go that way, but then you still have to go by minibus or bus.

What to expect: a typical soviet hotel, but with very friendly staff

Nutrition: you can buy complex meals for the whole day, order separately or, like us, bring food with you. Although for breakfast we went to the dining room and bought a plate of delicious milk porridge for cheap.

All rooms are equipped with private facilities, i.e. there is a small bathroom with a sink, toilet and shower. One place in such a room, regardless of the number of beds, costs 550 rubles (autumn 2015), and if you want to splurge and get a TV with a refrigerator, then each person will have to pay another 150 rubles.

When we went for the first time, we took a double room with equipment, because at that time there was a winter Olympics, and my friend was going to watch. But then the prices were a little lower. I must say that both the refrigerator and the TV worked properly.

Inside, too, everything is Soviet. There are signs everywhere to keep windows closed in winter. In general, they all have access to the balcony. In the summer, it's probably wonderful to drink hot tea.

The beds are new, the curtains are new, the bed linen is also not made of synthetics and not washed - it's nice to touch it.

Old batteries barely heat. Both times we ran into frost -30, which, to put it mildly, is not very pleasant for Peter. So we slept in all clothes, except for street jackets. In the morning they climbed together on one bed and covered themselves with two blankets. If they sat in the room and watched TV, they also did it side by side and under two blankets.

The water in the shower ran in a thin stream, and it was barely warm. But in such a frost, I didn’t really want to wash in the room either. I didn’t take a picture of the bathroom, so just like that. The shower is supposed to be taken while standing on the tiled floor.

So for a romantic date with your other half in winter, this base is not suitable. To this end, you will have to overpay three times the price, but live with all the comfort at a neighboring base.

This neighboring base is located at the foot of the famous "Northern slope" - a ski resort. Living there is expensive, so "Kavgolovo" in winter is clogged with unassuming students and young people. So if someone wants to drive a snowboard, they can save money and stay at Kavgolovo. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the skiing area, the road is lit with lanterns, so it’s good even in the evening.

On the "Northern slope" in the evenings on weekends they often arrange some kind of movement, so you can come and see. We only had enough to "take a picture", and we returned back to the Olympics

There is a rental of cross-country skis and boots, cheesecakes and sleds. The site also states that in the summer you can take a barbecue, a boat and a bicycle, but in the summer I was not there. I don’t remember the price of skis, but it was very budget. The skis are plastic, but the boots are of the old mounting option when there is a metal clip. I’m fine, but my friend hadn’t ridden one of these for 5 years at that time, and it was hard for her to adapt.

For more modern equipment, including snowboards and skis, you can visit the North Slope. The prices there, however, are quite high, and you need to leave documents for a car or money as collateral.

Where to cross-country ski

We thought that we would ride on a frozen lake, which is located next to the base. But it was very windy, and we did not dare to go out into the open space - we skated around a small stadium nearby. During the preparation of the review, I learned that there was a ski track on the "Northern slope", but then we did not hear about it.

The fact is that in Toksovo there is a ski track famous throughout the Soviet north-west. When my dad was young, there were international competitions there, and this center is still working. In general, it was there that we initially aimed, but in Kavgolovo it turned out that it was impossible to get there on foot, and we didn’t have a car. So for cross-country skiing, I recommend going there with your car.

The SKA track was laid back in the fifties of the last century. Regional and all-Union competitions were constantly held here, for which the Kavgolovo sports complex was equipped with four hotels, a ski stadium and a referee pavilion. SKA is one of the most difficult tracks. Its length is 10 kilometers, and the total climb (in other words, the sum of the heights of all the slides that you have to climb) is 400 meters. It's perfect for the pros, but for beginners, it's best to practice on shorter trails.

How to get there: train from Finlyandsky railway station to Toksovo station, fixed-route taxi 431 from the Prospekt Prosveshcheniya metro station to the Toksovo-center stop, from there - a kilometer on foot. The journey will take 30-40 minutes.

"Dynamo" in the Kavgolovsky forest park

Unlike the nearby SKA, Dynamo is also suitable for those who are not very confident on skis. Its length is 5 kilometers, and the total climb is only 120 meters. It is occasionally used for local level competitions. The rest of the time, the wide road, protected from the wind by coniferous forest, is ideal for training.

How to get there: train from Finlyandsky railway station to Kavgolovo or Toksovo station, fixed-route taxi 431 from the metro station "Prospekt Prosveshcheniya" to the stop "Toksovo-center", from there - a kilometer on foot, in addition, next to the "Dynamo" there is a ski complex "Eagle Mountain" with a parking lot. The journey will take 40 minutes.

"Pargolovskaya ski track"

"Pargolovskaya ski track" runs through the southern part of the Shuvalovsky forest park. This is the most convenient track for skiers who do not have time to go to train at Eagle Mountain or Blue Dacha. In addition, it is very suitable for beginners: the height difference is only 15 meters, there are no slides, and the coach can observe the skier practically without moving from one place.

How to get there: by bus, fixed-route taxi from the metro stations "Ozerki" or "Prospect of Education" to the stop "Road to Kamenka", from there - 500 meters on foot. The journey will take 10 - 20 minutes (depending on traffic jams on the Vyborg highway)
