Climb on Elbrus with us

Mount Elbrus is the highest peak in Europe. It is part of the Central Caucasus, but is located several miles north of the main crest. Its origin is volcanic, and though it has long been extinct, it still retains its gently sloping, conical shape. Of the twin cones rising on its summit, the highest is located west of another cone that is only slightly smaller. The summit is capped in ice year round, and countless glaciers sprawl from its slopes. The summit provides incredible views of the entire Caucasus.

Western summit 5642 m (18513 ft) and Eastern summit 5621 m (18442 ft) with the Saddle elevation 5416 m (17769 ft). Glaciations area (more then 50 glaciers) is about 144 square km (56 square miles). Snow-line (in August) - 3400 m (11483 ft).
