Climbing to the Highest Mountain in Europe - Elbrus (EL-01)

OVERVIEW ITINERARY DATES AND PRICES INCLUDED REVIEWS

The legendary Mount Elbrus (5,642m) is one of the World’s Seven Summits and an essential ascent for those who can meet the challenge and reach the roof of Europe! Travelling amongst the four- and five thousand metre peaks you can’t miss the highest one of all. You’ll be stunned by the view of the double- capped Elbrus, towering in its majestic grandeur over lower ranges of snowy mountains, and inviting you to scale it. The breathtaking scenery of the Caucasian mountains and this ultimate climbing challenge will make this trip unforgettable for anyone looking for some holiday adrenaline!

The ascent of Mount Elbrus by the classic route from the South, which is the most popular, is a splendid, long, high-altitude climb over a moderate incline, that requires good acclimatization but has no technical difficulties. However, despite the apparent simplicity of this route, it still can be dangerous because of frequently changing weather conditions.

After your ascent don’t miss the chance to try the delicious Caucasian cuisine and local wine; and on your way back have fun discovering Moscow, the political, cultural and commercial centre of Russia. This amazing trip will stay in your memory forever - Mount Elbrus is too much of a challenge to miss!
