RU-3378583 Usadba Coastal Village of the 2014 Winter Paralympics

The 2014 Winter Paralympics (Зимние Паралимпийские игры 2014), the eleventh Paralympic Winter Games, and also more generally known as the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games, were a major international multi-sport event for athletes with disabilities governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), held in Sochi, Russia from 7–16 March 2014. 45 National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) participated in the Games, which marked the first time Russia ever hosted the Paralympics.

Two Paralympic villages - the Usadba Coastal Village and the Mountain Paralympic Village were operated to house the 45 delegations – about 1,600 athletes and delegation members.  These two villages were located in the immediate vicinity of the competition venues. Both Coastal and Mountain Paralympic Villages were fully accessible and include ramps, automatic doors in addition to voice activation in elevators.
