A girls' getaway in the mountains

Driving time is about 1 hour, and the distance is approximately 70 km. Take the Kurortny Prospekt alternate route (A-148) to Adler—this way you can bypass the city center and avoid traffic. Once in the Adler area, take the Novoye Krasnopolyanskoye Shosse (A-149) highway. As you approach Krasnaya Polyana, turn off toward the Gorki-Gorod resort or the village of Esto-Sadok, then follow the signs for the Marriott Hotel.
