Over het programma

This tour is similar to the Summer Climb of Elbrus from the South but with some differences. You'll need warmer clothing, high-altitude boots, and rigid crampons (all available for rent). The tour is one day longer to allow for better technical preparation and to wait for suitable weather. It can be combined with skiing or snowboarding during acclimatization. Groups are limited to 6 people with 2 guides. Early booking discounts and visa support are available.

Dag 1

Meeting

We meet at our office in Essentuki no later than 10:00 PM (arriving the day before is preferable). Gear check and issuance will take place here, followed by an introduction to your guide. After a group briefing about the upcoming route, we transfer to the Elbrus region. Accommodation will be in a hostel or a 3-star hotel, depending on your package.

Dag 2

Mount Cheget

First acclimatization. We hike up Mount Cheget, with lunch on the mountain overlooking Elbrus. The instructor will guide you on walking and breathing techniques to conserve energy. The hike takes about 4 hours. From the top, enjoy panoramic views of Elbrus and the Baksan Valley. We descend by cable car to save energy.

Dag 3

Acclimatization on Elbrus

Transfer to the Azau cable car station. We take the funicular up to 3,800 meters, then hike to 4,300 meters. There will be a training session on crampon technique. In the evening, we return to the hotel.

Dag 4

Mountain Hut

Transfer to the funicular and ascent up the slopes of Elbrus. We settle into the mountain hut, followed by a short walk up the snowy slope. The instructor will conduct a training session on two essential mountaineering skills: rope traverse techniques and self-arrest with an ice axe.

Dag 5

Altitude 5000 m

This is the main acclimatization day. You will ascend approximately 1,200 meters to reach an altitude of 5,000 meters. You'll experience the effects of reduced oxygen, which will be challenging, but it’s crucial for your adaptation to the altitude, making the summit climb easier. Reaching at least 4,700 meters today is mandatory for attempting the summit. If this condition is not met, the climb will only be possible with supplemental oxygen.

Dag 6

Rest Before the Climb

A rest day before the summit attempt. Technical training to review previously learned skills. Early lights out at 5:00 PM to ensure adequate rest before the climb.

Dag 7

Summit Day

We wake up at midnight with one hour to prepare. The ascent to the summit begins. We climb roped together, wearing crampons, using ice axes, helmets, and headlamps. We carry snacks, a thermos of hot tea, and water. The pace is slow to conserve energy and maintain steady breathing. The ascent typically takes 8-10 hours, with the descent taking another 3-4 hours. (If you wish to use supplemental oxygen during the climb, it can be rented from us.) Overnight in the hut or descent to the valley on the same day.

Dag 8

Reserve Day

This is an extra day reserved in case of bad weather. If it's not needed, the group will return to Essentuki a day earlier.

Dag 9

Descent to the Valley

We take the funicular down to the valley, followed by a transfer to Essentuki. This concludes our tour. If needed, this day can also serve as an additional reserve day for the summit attempt.

Dag 10

Last Day of the Tour

The group will return to Essentuki on this day if the previous day is used for the Elbrus summit attempt. Plan to book your return ticket for any time after 2:00 PM.
