Join me on this 12-day Mount Elbrus ski mountaineering expedition and conquer one of the Seven Summits!
Mount Elbrus (5642 m) is Europe's highest peak, so it's part of the elite group of Seven Summits, the highest mountain in each continent. It's located on the western area of the Caucasus mountain range, in the south of Russia.
One of the best features of this peak is that it's a technically easy ascent. So we will be able to climb it with our skis on and then enjoy a magnificent descent.
Although it's not a hard peak to climb, I will still guide you carefully to the top. We'll have acclimatization hikes and rest days to enjoy the scenery and be in good shape to reach the summit. Please be aware that you need to be in very good shape to participate in this 12-day expedition.
So please send me a request if you wish to experience this 12-day Mount Elbrus ski mountaineering expedition. I promise it will be an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life.
