Overview
Climb Elbrus with us in a 9-day trip incl. flight from Europe. Elbrus is recognised by most mountaineers as the highest mountain in Europe, and thus as one of the Seven Summits. Over 90% of Elbrus ascents are carried out from the south. The route leads through a large ski area with relatively good infrastructure and is by far the easiest way to the summit. A well-thought-out travel plan, everything necessary for the ascent and great views of the Caucasus await us. Experienced mountain guides will accompany you to the roof of Europe.
Currently, all our tours to Russia are CANCELED but we can add you onto our waiting list.
