Population: 4,598 (2010 census); 3,969 (2002 census); 3,300 (1989 Soviet census). Located in the Western Caucasus, it is home to the new Rosa Khutor alpine ski resort, with a base elevation of 560 meters (1,840 ft) along the Mzymta River, 39 kilometers (24 mi) from its influx into the Black Sea in Adlersky City District of Sochi.
