Elbrus is the highest mountain in Russia and Europe. One of the summits in the elite program “7 Summits”. His altitude is 5642 meters above sea level, an old volcano, Elbrus mountain is great as the first climbing experience.

On a south face there is a well-developed infrastructure with ski lifts and hotels. Also we always use high-altitude mountain shelters with a heaters and kitchen: climbing experience has never been so comfortable as here. Also available gear rental service where you can get professional climbing equipment.

For climbing Elbrus mountain you don’t need a lot of climbing skills: the way to the summit is pretty easy. But Elbrus mountain is big enough, and 5642 meters is not a joke. That’s why our guides works only 1-3 person for one guide.
