On September 13, a special event was held for resort guests—a concert at the Zaramag-1 station observation deck. At sunset, the chamber orchestra of the Valery Gergiev Vladikavkaz College of Arts performed here.

The orchestra consists of ten musicians playing instruments such as the violin, viola, cello, and flute. The soloist for the evening will be Rustam Abdulayev, Honored Artist of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and soloist with the opera troupe of the Mariinsky Theater's branch in North Ossetia.

The program included masterpieces of world music from the repertoire of Andrea Bocelli, Consuelo Velázquez, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and others.

On September 14, the Mamison resort held a family sports festival called “Sports Family.”

Participants joined a 20 km trail run with an ascent up the ridge to 3,100 m and a descent through the Zaramag Pass to the village of Kliat, finishing at the resort's main square.

In addition, there was an amateur 5 km run along a picturesque route around the resort. There were also family relays, master classes and a quest, a children's run, cornhole and frisbee games, archery, an open-air concert, and an awards ceremony for participants.

Mamison became Russia's top ski discovery in 2025.

The resort received a special prize at the annual Russian Mountains national awards.

Mamison hosted the first fashion shoot for Ogorod magazine, a publication about country life from the Moskvichka team.

The shoot lasted eight hours and involved eight people, including a model who had participated in shows for Diesel and Acne Studios. The photos featured outfits from Chanel, Givenchy, and Prada.

A delegation of foreign journalists, together with the Caucasus Investment Forum, arrived in North Ossetia to take part in the opening of the Mamison ski resort. Earlier, the resort was named the best investment project in the field of tourism according to the All-Russian investment award “VERSHINA.”

The program of the journalists' visit continued with a meeting with the head of Ingushetia, Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov.

Andrey Yumshanov, Director General of Kavkaz.RF, visited the Mamison resort in North Ossetia.

Together with his deputy, Khisa Bekkaev, he discussed preparations for the season and the creation of ski trails with the resort staff, and received reports from builders on the commissioning of the snowmaking system.

In addition, Andrei Yumshanov inspected the residents' projects — a café, restaurant, rental shop, store, and mini-hotel in the service center.

Foreign journalists from the UAE, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and China visited the Mamison resort.

The delegation was welcomed by the Kavkaz.RF team, led by Deputy Director General Rustam Tapayev.

The journalists visited the new information center and assessed the scale of the resort.

On December 27, Mamison will host days of music, meetings, and pre-New Year creative inspiration.

On the main square:

11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. — DJ sets

2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. — singing at the top of our lungs with Anna Dzeevoeva

From January 2 to 8, the Mamison resort will celebrate New Year's Eve for the first time.

The holiday program includes: memorable photos for a new chapter in life; DJ sets; round dances with a Cossack folk choir; an introduction to the resort's new cafes and restaurants; game quests; and immersive stories about Christmas miracles featuring professional actors.

A training area has appeared in Mamison on the green slope 3A.

This is a convenient place to start: get used to the equipment, try it out, feel the slope, and take your time.

For children, it is a safe and understandable space for confident first steps on the snow.

The first figures of the new year.

On January 4, Mamison welcomed its first thousand skiers and snowboarders in a single day—1,231 people, to be precise.

Yesterday also marked the first time since the launch of evening skiing on Elbrus that more than 500 people skied under the spotlights and stars (560).

In total, 14,300 people visited Elbrus over the weekend of January 3-4. On average, 6,500-7,000 riders hit the slopes of the legendary mountain every day during the holidays.

On January 4, the under-construction Veduci set its personal record for the January holidays. Yesterday, 450 people skied there.

From January 1 to 4, Veduci was visited by 25% more people than in 2025.

Mamison is growing: what's new?

Kalak Hotel

A new hotel has opened on the third floor of the service center: 14 rooms ranging from 30 m² with panoramic terraces. Each room has a coffee machine, an orthopedic mattress, and a large balcony for morning coffee.

And most importantly, the cable car is 50 meters away.

An option for those who value every minute on the slopes.

Chalets in “Bairai, Mamison”

Fourteen 100 m² chalets have been added to the barn houses: two bedrooms, a living room, and a sauna right in the room.

Recovering without leaving home is the ultimate luxury after a day in the mountains.

Bairai Mamison Restaurant

A fireplace in the center of the hall, generous portions, and Ossetian hospitality.

This is where guests of the chalets and barn houses have breakfast, and every guest of the resort is welcome.

And that's not all: the Grand Galabu restaurant is preparing to open in February.

The Slow Life Workshop is opening in Mamison.

Every Saturday, a space for slowing down, lively communication, and co-creation with masters will be created right in the middle of the mountains. The first master class is already on February 7.

The host is Rada Sadigova, a master of portrait and art photography known for her unique approach to composition and lighting.

She has collaborated with Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and created our first photo project, “Bairai, Mamison!”

During the master class, participants will create conceptual shots under Rada's guidance. The main assistants will be a professional model and the resort's most scenic locations. You can shoot with a camera or a phone.

The curator of the North Caucasus Federal District in the Russian Government and chairman of the board of directors of Kavkaz.RF will evaluate the work of the all-season cluster during its first full skiing season and will also hold a meeting on labor productivity in tourism.

Mamison has 10 km of slopes and more than 250 accommodation options, as well as several restaurants and food outlets. Equipment and instructors are available at the spacious service center.

On average, the resort welcomes a thousand tourists a day. Today, a new creative project is launching here — a slow life workshop — and a contemporary art gallery is scheduled to open in March.

The first master class of the Slow Life Workshop was held in Mamison—a conceptual photography shoot with Rada Sadigova.

Twenty participants gathered from Vladikavkaz, Nalchik, Pyatigorsk, Grozny, Makhachkala, and even St. Petersburg.

Each had their own route to the mountains and photography.

Tatyana from St. Petersburg came on her birthday for a new experience. Gulshat came with her husband: he to ride, she to relax.

Among the participants were both professional photographers and those who only take pictures on their phones. They were united by one thing: the desire to see and feel more.

“Rebooting, slowing down, and creative energy — it all happened. When you take pictures, it's as if you're outside of time,” the participants shared.

It was a powerful start — and this is only the beginning. Workshops will be held every Saturday: zines, sketches, literary meetings — everything about attention and process.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a meeting on labor productivity in tourism at the Mamison resort.

At the meeting, attended by North Ossetia Head Sergey Menyailo, Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative in the district Vladimir Nadykto, Deputy Ministers of Economic Development Sergey Nazarov and Dmitry Vakhrukov, as well as the leadership of Kavkaz.RF, a pilot program to increase labor productivity in tourism was presented. It was developed at the end of December last year.

The president has set an ambitious goal of increasing the growth rate of labor productivity in the country. In the context of a labor shortage, this is a key factor in improving efficiency and redistributing the workforce to high-productivity sectors. Tourism has significant potential for such a leap forward, the deputy prime minister emphasized.

The implementation of this program will be handled by the industry competence center (ICC) in the field of tourism, created on the basis of Kavkaz.RF. The first successful projects are already in place — hoteliers themselves told Alexander Novak about them.

As a result of working with the ICC, the time required to completely clean a room at the five-star Mayri Park Hotel in Arkhyz was reduced by 24 minutes, rooms were ready for check-in an hour earlier, and guest complaints about room cleanliness/amenities ceased.

Employee engagement has increased significantly. People realized that they were not working more, but simply doing the same work as before more easily and quickly. The system for submitting suggestions for improvements allows employees to see that their ideas are visible, taken into account, and not lost somewhere in a paper trail. Optimization has allowed us to consider that with the further implementation of the proposed tools, the work of preparing a cottage for occupancy without loss of quality and time can be done by two employees instead of three, as is currently the case. This will allow us to clean more cottages at the same time, which is very important during peak periods, says Elena Kotova, general manager of the hotel.

One of the mechanisms for increasing labor productivity is “boxed solutions” — well-developed algorithms for changing the most routine and important hotel processes. These include: laundry turnover, room preparation and setup, guest reservations and accommodation, and buffet organization.

Another mechanism is targeted support for those lagging behind. Here, experts will focus primarily on health resorts and amusement parks, where, according to research, labor productivity is lowest and there is a lack of ready-made solutions due to the specific nature of each facility. Interestingly, the productivity of travel agencies and tour operators, on the contrary, exceeds the industry average, so this target group receives less attention in the program.

The personnel issue is also relevant for the Mamison resort, which opened last year and was built by Kavkaz.RF. The cluster became the first major state infrastructure project in the mountains after the introduction of European sanctions on cable car manufacturers. Currently, Mamison has two cable cars and 10 km of trails. The tourist flow in 2025 was 40,000 people, and in January of this year, it was 10,000 tourists.

Our experience gained at other resorts built by the company helps us resolve all the “teething problems” of the new facility. For example, the rescue and avalanche rescue services were trained by the nationally renowned Elbrus team, and the OCK is implementing the expertise gained at large resorts with a tourist flow of 7, 000-10 ,000 guests per day. We pay great attention to continuity and feedback from guests. This is a continuous process of improvement, where we cannot stop for a single day,

notes Andrey Yumshanov, CEO of Kavkaz.RF.

The implementation of the entire set of measures provided for in the program will increase labor productivity by 23% by 2030 compared to 2024. In real terms, this will increase the added value in four “tourist” areas by 179.4 billion rubles.

The Bayray, Mamison complex now boasts new two-bedroom chalets with a sauna and a panoramic restaurant with bas-reliefs of sleds.

A new trail, codenamed 1A, has opened at the Mamison resort.

Almost 4 km of red-level speed runs, located under the gondola lift. This high-speed run will take you directly to Kalak Square. This option is for experienced riders. The best place to learn and perfect your technique is near the Mamihdon chairlift station on the green trail 3A.

Mamison invites you to a new workshop on creating a handmade book.

On Saturday, February 14, the resort will host a workshop on creating a zine—a hand-made publication featuring personal impressions of a mountain vacation. Enrollment is currently open.

The workshop will be led by Polina Likhacheva, editor of the resort's channel and organizer of blog tours, an art festival, and other creative events at Mamison.

"A zine is a personalized mini-magazine. Participants will experience the entire process from scratch: from the idea and text to images, layout, and hand-assembly, printing their favorite photos, assembling collages, trying linocuts, and making their own stamps," explains the author.

The "Slow Life Workshop" project launched on February 7. It is a series of intimate events at various locations throughout the resort, designed to immerse participants in creativity, new skills, and a slower pace in the beautiful Mamison Gorge.

Registration for the first meeting with photographer Rada Sadygova closed within the first few hours. The conceptual photography workshop attracted 20 participants from Vladikavkaz, Nalchik, Pyatigorsk, Grozny, Makhachkala, and even St. Petersburg. Tatyana from St. Petersburg came for her birthday, looking for a new experience. Gulshat came with her husband: he to go skiing, and she to relax.

Among the participants were both professional photographers and those who only shoot with their phones. They shared one common thread: the desire to see and feel more.

"Rebooting, slowing down, and a creative boost—it all happened. When you take pictures, you feel like you're outside of time," the participants shared.

The project organizers—the Kavkaz.RF communications team—are planning a culinary meeting with Mercada chef Marina Kozonova, a bookshelf opening from the "Po Slogam" project by Anna Yanchevskaya and Victoria Malakhova (Kim), and musical and creative experiments.

On February 21st, a life sketching workshop will be held at Mamison as part of the "Slow Life Workshop." It will be held in the resort's future gallery and will be led by Sergey Mikhitarov, a photographer and artist from Pyatigorsk.

Participants will learn to work with a model, capturing character and movement. The goal will be to create a quick drawing—without excessive perfectionism, but with attention to detail.
