Winter is in full swing. And this means that for fans of the "snowy" extreme, the proper season is right now. In Crimea you can find it first of all in the mountains.

A popular place for such recreation is the Ai-Petri plateau. Traditionally, it is crowded here in winter: many go to the mountain for skiing, snowboarding, sledging and tubing. At the same time, here you can breathe fresh air and enjoy the beauty of the South Coast.
