Riding the gondola down from the MVL to Rosa Khutor. Rosa Khutor lies in the valley between the MVL and Endurance Village. This is where most non- athletes and non-staff stay since not everyone stays at the Villages. Due to limited space and wanting to reduce distraction for athletes staying in the village is extremely restricted to athletes and necessary staff.
