Above the clouds Product Description

This is rarely mentioned in the mount Elbrus climb reviews, but one of the most vivid memories is not only to summit the top, but also to rise above the clouds. Having reached the height of 5642 meters you will discover an incredible view of the mountains, wrapped in the sky. Let's go up together and see it.

Main things you need to know about - Above the clouds

The first three nights and last nigth of the tour you will spend at the Alamat Hotel. It is located near Terskol village, at an altitude of 2000 m above the sea level, surrounded by pine forests. You will be accommodated in comfortable double and triple rooms with a private bathroom. The room has a double bed, sofa, table, two bedside tables, wardrobe, TV, balcony.
In the Alpine zone before climbing Elbrus (days 4-8) you will stay in the mountain shelter "Wind", located at an altitude of 3720 meters, near the top station of the Elbrus cable-way. This is one of the lowest located shelters on Elbrus, away from fumaroles, emitting hydrogen sulfide, what will help you to recover from acclimatization hikes faster. You will stay in the heated huts. There are a kitchen-dining room and bedrooms for 8 people with bunk beds inside the hut. Each house has gas, light and sockets for charging phones and cameras batteries.

The journey begins in Mineralnye Vody, where you should get to on your own.
We are ready to help with the tickets purchasing, if necessary, please, leave a comment in the application. We recommend flights with arrival in Mineralnye Vody before 3 pm (in the first day) and return flight after 12 pm (in the last day of trip).
