Why should you come to Elbrus with us? First of all, these are our guides and only our guides, and we do not just write about it, but unlike many companies, we are not afraid to show them to you. We do not have a limited number of climbing attempts, as in other companies (usually one). You can try to go on all the reserve days of the program without paying extra for additional ascents! Excellent food at the hotel and at the shelter with fresh meat, fruits and vegetables. Our hotel is a comfortable hotel with large rooms and a cozy dining room. A nice and cozy shelter with a huge kitchen, individual beds in residential cars, bed linen and a clean toilet, our own equipment rental (the newest and largest in the Elbrus region) will provide you with a high-class and safe stay. We are also ready to organize a family vacation for your family so that no one gets bored while you are busy climbing. Important information:  
  • Check-in and check-out time is regulated by the hotel: check-in from 15 o'clock, check-out from the hotel - up to 11-12 o'clock. You can leave your luggage at the hotel reception and walk around the area, or, if technically possible, pay extra for early check-in/late check-out.
  • Any exit from the shelter on the day of the ascent is an attempt.
  • For foreign citizens, if necessary, we make guest invitations to our tours.

About the tour

Give yourself or your loved one emotions that will take your breath away? Easy! Elbrus by helicopter will leave memories of the majestic snowy Elbrus, its endless green valleys and blue lakes, gorges that impress with their massiveness and beauty, and all this from a bird’s eye view! This tour does not require special permits or flight skills – it is our responsibility and our pilot’s responsibility to ensure you rest. During the flight, you will be able to admire all the beauty without missing a single view, taking photos and videos from the air, so that you can later share your impressions with loved ones in detail.

We strongly recommend watching a lecture by our most experienced Elbrus guide about Elbrus.
