Elbrus is a giant dormant volcano, which separates Europe from Asia and consequently has become one of the coveted “Seven Summits”. Our expedition travels briefly through Moscow and directly to the mountains where we focus on acclimatization and getting onto the mountain for our ascent. Staying in lodges along the way we avoid the need for tents so you can simply bring along a sleeping bag and your climbing gear and enjoy the climb!
Being relatively high Elbrus certainly demands respect for its altitude and we approach this by climbing high each day during acclimatization and sleeping low. As with any foray to high altitude, it is imperative that expedition members are fit and strong and in good health.
Our Trip #1 initiates in St Petersburg and finishes in Moscow where we get to sample a lot of the local culture along the way. The Trip #2 starts and finishes in Moscow and is thus two days shorter, although the time on the mountain is the same.
- Discover the wonders of St Petersburg and Moscow
- Experience moderate altitude mountaineering on non-technical ground
- Enjoy the cultural and environmental diversity
