Over the course of 10 wild days of skiing we will explore and navigate the alluring beauty of the Adyr-Su valley and take on the mythical Mount Elbrus, all in this remote and pristine corner of the world, in the Caucasus Mountains.
Mount Elbrus is the highest mountain in Europe, and is a dormant volcano formed over 2.5 million years ago! Climbing to the summit of this peak will make you feel like you’re on top of the world.
We begin this journey by meeting at Mineralnyye Vody Airport in Stavropol Krai, Russia, where we will then transfer to the start point and place where we will spend much time, the epic Adyr-Su valley.
The next four days will be spent ski touring around this gorgeous area of rugged, unspoiled terrain, with the vivid and evocative scenery sure to have you constantly reaching for your camera to capture the fabulous memories!
The second half of our epic adventure is all about preparing to reach the summit of the truly colossal Mount Elbrus, as we progressively acclimatise to the gradually increasing altitudes before reaching the top on day 8, a day which I guarantee you will never forget.
After scaling the summit, a day of rest is needed before ending our fun 10 days together back in Stavropol Krai, safe in the knowledge we have achieved something very few people can say they have done!
You will 100% regret not joining this trip – don’t just sit there, book now!
I also offer 8-day (South Side) and 9-day (North Side) ascents of Mount Elbrus.

Mountain Guide
Mountains and work in the mountains are major part of my life. I am an IFMGA mountain guide as well as a member of the Kyrgyzstan Mountain Guides Association (KMGA). I started my career in 2006 and it was a logical extension of my mountaineering activities. I organize ascents, ski-touring and free ride programs for my clients in the Caucasus
(including Krasnaya Polyana), Pamir, Tien-Shan, Siberia, Ural, Kola Peninsula. I have climbing experience in the Alps, Alaska and the Chinese Pamirs.
I am a certified mountain rescuer. My priorities are the client's safety along with the success of the ascent.
