About the tour<\/h2>\n

If you are not a well-seasoned climber, we offer you a guided\u00a0Elbrus climb\u00a0from the South with our company.<\/p>\n

Climbing Mount Elbrus from the South technically is not so challenging. But this seeming simplicity bears great danger of getting into terrible trouble if the weather gets bad when venturing an unguided climb.<\/p>\n

Our representative will meet you at Mineralnye Vody airport and will take you to hotel. The next three days you will spend taking quick and easy acclimatizing hikes to the observatory, from which in good weather you can enjoy marvelous views of Elbrus, Nakra, Donguz-Orun and many other mountains of the area.<\/p>\n

During the acclimatization period the group will make two other climbs \u2013 to an elevation of 4050m (to the former Priyut 11) and to 4700m \u2013 to Pastukhov\u2019s Rocks.<\/p>\n

Summiting Elbrus \u2013 that will take 9 to 12 hours including descent \u2013 is planned for the fifth or sixth day of the expedition.<\/p>\n
