ABSTRACT: Hosting the Winter Olympics 2014 became an incentive for an active devel-opment of the Sochi mountain cluster (Krasnodar Region, Russia). A set of engineering protec-tion measures against dangerous geological phenomena and processes was taken on the territo-ry where sports and recreational infrastructural facilities were to be constructed. The Sochi mountain cluster became a real testing ground for implementing advanced technical solutions in the area of engineering protection in really specific conditions when developing facilities in the national park on a steeply sloping terrain under the risk of high seismic activity (9 points). The article provides review of the measures taken. They include constructing flexible mudflow-retaining and snow-retaining barriers, ensuring the stability of slopes by soil nailing using the multifunctional geotechnical system, constructing retaining structures (retaining walls) of various designs: piled, corner monolithic on a piled base, reinforced soil, gabions.
