Krasnaya Polyana Russia

In 2000, Ecosign evaluated the Caucasus Mountain Range for the Federal Government of Russia to complete a study of the mountain range for the Russian Cabinet and Mr. Victor Khristenko, then Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federal Government.

The study area was approximately 40,000 sq/km of the North Caucuses and identified the Mzymta River Valley and the mountain village of Krasnaya Polyana as the best potential for the Russian Federation to invest in for infrastructure and touristic facilities. 

Ecosign was hired by Interros Holding Company, Moscow and associated with AMR Baugesellschaft GmbH to complete a Technical Assessment of the entire Mzymta River Valley, an area of 420 sq/km. The initial study identified seven different areas which could be developed for alpine skiing and snowboarding with capacities ranging from 1,300 to 30,000 visitors at one time. 

Commencing Phase 1, Ecosign prepared concepts for three of the preferred areas. Interros decided to proceed with the development of the Rosa Khutor project and Ecosign was engaged to prepare a master plan of Psekhako Ridge. 

In March 2005, the Russian Olympic Committee and the Federal Government requested Ecosign to prepare an assessment of the potential for an Official Bid for the Olympic Winter Games for 2014. Ecosign drew the plans, which became the basis for Russia’s successful bid for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
