Nestled in the heart of the Caucasus Range, located in the southern region of Russia, Mount Elbrus presents an awe-inspiring and picturesque test of endurance for any climber.

With a towering height of 5,642 metres (18,510 feet), Elbrus proudly holds the titles of the highest mountain and volcano in Europe, earning it a spot in both the exclusive Seven Summit and Seven Volcanic Summit clubs.

The expedition to conquer this mammoth peak commences upon our arrival at Mineralnye Vody airport, where we will embark on a journey to the charming village of Terskol.

Once there, we will commence our ascent to the summit, a task that will span four days and necessitate utmost dedication and perseverance. The seventh day, however, will be the most challenging, as we embark on the final push to the summit, beginning with an early start.

While the climb does not require highly advanced technical skills, it is undoubtedly a rigorous physical endeavour. Nevertheless, the reward for our efforts will be unrivalled panoramic vistas of the majestic mountains and valleys that surround us.
