Kavgolovo is a picturesque village near Saint Petersburg. It is a favourite place for skiers who prefer thrilling descents down-hill and ski-jumps to unhurried sliding through the fields or woods. The Great Ski-Jump in Kavgolovo is the arena of the most important Russian and international competitions.
A sports compound, including numerous skiing centres, a winter swimming pool, a boarding-House and a stadium, is to be erected here later on.
