Description

Throughout the Caucasus mountain range there is an assortment of incredible peaks. And on this week long expedition you will be able to climb one of the range’s most glorious peaks: Mount Kazbek (5,033m).

For 7 amazing days, one of which is a reserve day in case of bad weather or insufficient acclimatization, you will get to scale Mount Kazbek. However, that is not the only peak you will get to climb on this mountaineering adventure. You will also get to climb one of the nearby 3,500 metre summits for training and acclimatization purposes, as well as Mount Ortsveri (4,200m). Also add on the time you spend in Stepantsminda, the Sabertse Pass (3,000m), the Betlemi hut (3,653m) and the 7 kilometre long Gergeti glacier, and you end up with an unforgettable trip.

Located on the border between Russia and Georgia, Mount Kazbek is widely considered to be one of the most impressive mountains in the Caucasus. The mountain looms large and majestic. And when you reach its summit, you will have the opportunity to enjoy some breathtaking views.

As is the case with any 5,000 metre plus mountain, climbing Mount Kazbek can be arduous. As a result, participants should be in good enough physical condition to make the climb. Some prior experience is important as well.

To reach the summit of Mount Kazbek is a great achievement. And I would be happy to help you in that pursuit. So if you would like to join me on this expedition, just send me a request. 

Would you like to climb to the summit of another great peak in the Caucasus? Then join me on this week long climb to the top of Mount Tetnuldi in Georgia.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
