Ski touring on Mount Elbrus (5642 m)

This is a unique opportunity of skiing in Mount Elbrus (5642 m), also known as the top of Europe. An 8-day guided ski touring program in Cheget and Elbrus, that will allow you to prepare and maximize your chances to summit this renowned peak.

Mount Elbrus is in the Caucasus region in Russia, at the border with Georgia.

I'm a mountain guide from the Elbrus region. I will be glad to guide you around this place and help you organize the trip. Actually, this might be tough when you don't speak the local language.

Besides guiding on the mountain, I enjoy very much telling my friends and clients about this region, its mountains, culture and history. I consider them important details that will make your time here very special!

The best period to climb Mount Elbrus by ski is from March till April. It is still possible to ascent skiing in May and June, although we may not be able to ski down till the bottom of the mountain in this part of the year. Luckily, this is not really a problem because there are ski lifts.

As for the level of difficulty of this trip, Mount Elbrus is not a technical mountain. Our challenge, on the other hand, might be the weather and snow conditions and the acclimatization.

By doing this trip with a local certified mountain guide, you will solve some important issues like visa, logistics, communication and catering. By the way, you'll have the chance to ski into some secrets spots, where only very few people go!

For further details about this trip, you can check the itinerary below.

Please contact me if you want to ascend Mount Elbrus by ski. I can help you design a suitable program according to your ski level and the time you're in Russia. 

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

I also organize other trips here, in case you like mountaineering activities. You can take a look at this Climbing Mount Elbrus from the West Side and this 12-day guided ascent to Mount Elbrus.
