Krasnoe Ozero

Krasnoe Ozero is a ski resort on the slopes above Lake Krasnoe, a designated natural monument, near the settlement of Korobitsyno in the Priozersky district of Leningrad Oblast, which the operator places 90 km from St Petersburg. The company's sales office is in St Petersburg on ulitsa Furshtatskaya, but the resort itself is at Korobitsyno. The operator dates the opening only to the late 1990s and gives no year. Parking is free, and the bathing facilities are reachable without a lift ticket.

Two separate bathing offers exist. The first is a wood-fired banya, which the operator invites guests to visit as a genuine banya on wood. The minimum order is two hours, booking is by telephone at least four hours ahead, and the banya comes with banya infusions and extracts, black and herbal tea, mugs, glasses and a grill. The banya's stated hours are Monday to Friday 12:00 to 22:00.

The second is the SPA centre, housed in the building of the Krasnoe Ozero sanatorium. The resort built a hotel between 2005 and 2008 which later became the Clinic of Restorative Medicine incorporating the spa complex. The centre offers consultations with its therapists and is open daily 10:00 to 20:00 — so day visits are possible alongside the sanatorium's multi-day treatment programmes, which admit only on Sundays. The centre's services include massage, a cedar barrel described as a mini-banya, an infrared cabin, a hammam, thalassotherapy, a Finnish sauna, whisky wraps, Kneipp foot baths, cosmetology and wraps. The resort adds that doctors select the procedures.

The water is not thermal and not mineral. Neither the resort nor the sanatorium claims a spring, a borehole or a mineral source anywhere. The resort's open water is the lake itself. Among the summer services the operator lists an equipped sandy beach with a children's pool, a water ramp for skiers and snowboarders, a reversible cable tow for wakeboarding, boat hire, fishing, tennis courts and a mini-golf course. In winter the operator lists 18 pistes with drops of 65 to 120 metres and lengths of 300 to 1,050 metres, two chairlifts and five drag lifts, with artificial snowmaking that has extended the season to six months. Accommodation is 33 cottages, described as comfortable cottages for 2 to 14 people with a sauna, plus glamping and hotel rooms.
