The Armkhi Hotel has once again received the "Good Place" award from Yandex Maps. This award is given to places that Maps users particularly enjoy: they rate them highly, praise them in reviews, and recommend them.

The hotel will continue to be highlighted on maps.

On March 7, a literary event will take place at Mamison. It will be led by Anna Yanchevskaya and Victoria Malakhova (Kim), the creators of the "By Syllables" project. They run the "Word Circle" and also organize literary retreats.

The hosts will discuss the culture of slow reading: how to concentrate, where to focus, and how to better understand yourself through text.

The event will take place at the Grand Galabu restaurant.

Upcoming events calendar at Elbrus.

March 25-29 — Final stage of the main freeride competition, FWQ 3* (registration is now open!). Spectacular tricks and graceful lines from the most experienced riders.

May 2-8 — Red Fox Elbrus Race: this will bring together skyrunning, ski mountaineering, and snowshoeing enthusiasts.

August 1-3 — Alpindustria Elbrus Race trail running festival, with a 131-km lead course, a "ring" around Elbrus.

June 9-15 — Rocks of Russia climbing festival.

Almost 70 km of eco-trails have been laid, including 12 km of new routes. The high-altitude ones will open in July, while the lower ones will become accessible earlier, in June.

Thanks to the Garabashi Glacier, the resort remains a training and educational base this summer: it will host National League of Instructors courses, and the Russian alpine skiing and freestyle skiing teams will also attend. Training will culminate with the Elbrus Prize competition for teenagers aged 12-15, a giant slalom race at an altitude of 4,100 meters.

In April, the all-season Armkhi resort will offer guests new opportunities for active recreation and wellness.

In a few weeks, seven popular activities will become available to vacationers: horseback riding, ATVs, excursions to ancient Ingush towers, swimming pool visits, summer tubing, and spa and wellness programs.

Spring in the Dzheyrakh Gorge is considered one of the most beautiful periods: the slopes are covered in greenery, the clean mountain air fills you with energy, and the tranquility of the tower complexes creates a special atmosphere for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Elbrus is updating its hotel landscape.

Elbrus Group has received a positive assessment from the Main State Expertise Authority (Glavgosexpertiza) and is preparing to build a new complex in the Azau glade.

The complex will include:

Five four-star hotels with 600 rooms.

A children's entertainment center (cafe, play areas for children up to three years old, areas for workshops, board games, and active games).

SPA (saunas, hammam, group exercise room, and cardiovascular equipment).

Restaurants, a conference and banquet hall, meeting rooms, and shops.

All buildings are designed with the needs of guests with limited mobility in mind: wheelchair turning areas, handrails, and adjoining rooms for accompanying persons.

Opening is scheduled for the end of 2028. At the same time, four more cable cars in the eastern sector, near the observatory, will be launched.

Mamison celebrates its first anniversary.

On March 14, the Mamison ski resort turned one year old. In this short time, this project of the Kavkaz.RF development institute has experienced a lifespan that takes many projects years: from its first ski run to more than 65,000 guests.

Mamison immediately showed its character: unpredictable mountain weather, wide pistes, festivals, glossy magazine cover shoots, and a massive light show that transformed the mountain slope into a grand stage for one evening. Among the guests were not only skiers and mountain hikers. In its first year, Mamison became a venue for cultural events, bringing together a wide variety of audiences.

"The main goal, which we managed to achieve, was to make the resort an all-season resort." We've created modern infrastructure, built a domestically produced cable car, and thought through ways to attract a wide range of guests: families with children, active recreation enthusiasts, artists, and those seeking peace and quiet in the mountains. The program of events is scheduled throughout the year, from sports to cultural projects," noted Andrey Yumshanov, CEO of Kavkaz.RF.

Today, winter Mamison boasts 19 kilometers of ski slopes. Here, you can spend the day on the slopes and in the evening visit the "Slow Life Workshop"—a place for socializing, creating, and meeting with artists amidst the mountains. Guests can choose from three accommodation options: the dolomite lodges "Bayray" and "Mamison," the capsule cottages "AstroBase," or the "Kalak" hotel, located just two minutes from the cable car. The resort has a total capacity of 200 beds.

In summer, Mamison becomes the perfect place for long walks and discoveries: 15 kilometers of scenic eco-trails, slopes covered with snowdrops and rhododendrons, a campground, and ancient villages all around. In its first year, the area hosted an art festival, a trail-building festival, a chamber orchestra concert at an altitude of 2,950 meters, and a high-altitude trail.

The project also received several professional awards: the All-Russian Investment Award "Vershina" for tourism development, the national "Mountains of Russia" award in the "Discovery of the Year" category, the "Silver Archer" award in the "Creative Industries" category, and the Ski Business Awards for "Best Promotion."

This year, guests can expect a rich program: an art festival, a film festival, and sporting events. Upcoming plans include opening a contemporary art exhibition space and participating with a large prototype stand at the Caucasus Investment Forum.

Starting March 17, ski passes at the Mamison resort are available for half price.

The price will be 1,400 rubles for adults and 800 rubles for children (6-13). The same prices apply to walking passes.

Elbrus welcomes the strongest freeriders to its slopes.

From March 25-29, the AlpIndustria chain of stores will host the final stage of the Freeride World Qualifier competition in Russia. Three stars offer more challenging terrain than 1- and 2-star levels, and riders earn more points toward qualifying for international competitions, the Freeride World Tour.

Brothers Marat and Kaisyn Uzdenov held a preparatory training session at Elbrus before the competition.

At Mamison, as part of the "Slow Life Workshop," a discussion with Daria Sukhovskaya about signs and symbols in art will take place.

Daria Sukhovskaya, a PhD candidate in philosophy and soon-to-be professor, will speak about art without complex formulations, with a genuine interest in people and profound questions.

The event will take place on March 28.

Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev, Kabardino-Balkarian Sports Minister Islam Khasanov, and Kavkaz.RF Deputy Director General Khisa Bekkaev met in an unusual location – at an altitude of 4,000 meters, at the Elbrus resort.

They discussed creating infrastructure for year-round training for national teams of Russia and other friendly countries.

Here, climbers from all over the world prepare to conquer Europe's highest peak, Mount Elbrus.

Starting March 23, the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania Transport Committee will launch daily shuttles between Vladikavkaz and Mamison.

Previously, the shuttle only ran on weekends.
