It is the fourth annual instalment of the unique festival that also boasts zip-lines, super swing, huge suspension bridge and bungee jumps as part of its high adrenaline repertoire. 

Speaking at the festival, which ran from 12-14th October this year, adrenaline junkie Johnny Winkellkotter said: 'The height gives us a good jump, a lot of time to fall, open our parachutes and land safely. This has been a great trip.'

The stunning sky park is situated in the Ahshtyrskaya valley by the road to Krasnaya Polyana which offers base-jumpers a view of cars on the road from a birds-eye view as they float towards the ground.

The sky bridge also runs from one end the steep ravine in the valley to the other, offering pedestrians the perfect view of performers.

The organizers of the festival have developed a unique program, which apart from the usual jumps, includes acrobatic numbers, tricks, and jumps in unusual costumes. 

'We will also hold competitions - who will land more accurately and correctly. We will also perform multigrade - a mass jump, we are thinking of setting a record,' the competition organizer, Nikolai Voropaev, said at last year's event.
