About the tour<\/h2>\n

If you are short of time while being in good physical shape, this program is for you. Note please that if you have no high-altitude experience, we recommend you choose an\u00a0Elbrus climbing\u00a0tour with a longer duration. Otherwise, most probably this Elbrus by weekend tour will be a waste of money for you: we can take care of your safety but we cannot guarantee that you will be able to summit.<\/p>\n

Climbers often opt for this program as an addition to\u00a0Kazbek climb.<\/p>\n

The advantage of technical simplicity of Elbrus climb turns into a disadvantage in bad weather \u2013 the mountain\u2019s vast smooth slopes are very hard to navigate and find one\u2019s way through in a snowstorm. And bad weather is quite common for Elbrus, which makes unguided climbing very dangerous. Our guides know all the routes in every detail, and know the right way of how to prepare for them.<\/p>\n

For climbers with sufficient experience and good physical shape, we offer the shortest schedule for climbing Elbrus\u2019s West summit. The tour begins on Friday and ends on Sunday. Without doubt, an Elbrus climb of this kind is a considerable challenge even for seasoned climbers. For this reason, guiding the group will be our best guides who can help in any situation.<\/p>\n
