Lata-Trek is an urban ski complex situated within the Krylatsky Hills landscape park in Moscow. The facility features several ski slopes of varying difficulty levels, catering to alpine skiing and snowboarding. It utilizes artificial snowmaking systems to extend the winter operating season despite Moscow's variable temperatures. The site includes a dedicated snow park with obstacles for freestyle practitioners. During the warmer months, the venue frequently shifts its focus to hosting outdoor sports events and summer recreation activities. It is built on a repurposed landfill site, a common design choice for hill creation in flat urban Russian environments. The slopes offer an elevation drop significant enough for beginner and intermediate training within city limits.
The summit of the main slope provides an unobstructed view of the Moscow City skyscrapers in the distance.
