11-day Mount Elbrus ski ascent

Join me on this fantastic 11-day ski touring adventure and reach the summit of Mount Elbrus (5642 m)!

Mount Elbrus is the highest peak in Europe. It lies in the middle of the Central Caucasus area in the Russian Federation, near the border with Georgia. It offers breathtaking landscapes and a challenging ascent.

I will take you to the summit after a high altitude acclimatization on different peaks and slopes. We will travel in the lateral valleys of Adyl-su and Adyr-su. On the eighth day, we will get to the top of Mount Elbrus on our skis. Then, we will descend for 25 kilometres, with 2500 m of altitude difference. You can find the day-by-day itinerary at the bottom of this text.

We will meet at the Mineralnye Vody airport, in Stavropol Krai. It's located in the North Caucasus region in Southern Russian Federation. During these days, we will stay in comfortable hotels in the Terskol village and also in mountain huts.

Please note in order to join this tour you need to have experience on the use of special ski touring and randonneé equipment. This means light special skis, bindings that allow you to fix or unfix the heel and boots, letting the ankle-joint to be flexible.

These type of skis are the best for those who normally ski alpine style. They allow your heel to be free for climbing and fixed for downhill.  Also, skins are necessary to allow traction while climbing.

If you want to join me and get to the summit of Mount Elbrus, just send me a request! You can book your date and we will start planning this great adventure.

Also, if you don't have much time, you can check my Mount Elbrus 8-day ski tour. And I also offer a challenging guided climb to Mount Elbrus West and South sides.

I work together with a group of guides, so if I'm not available, one of my colleagues will guide you.
