Elbrus Resort
Elbrus Resort

The Elbrus All-Season Tourist and Recreational Complex (ATRC) is located in the Elbrus region of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic and has been a popular destination on Russia's tourist map for over half a century. Tens of thousands of athletes and winter sports enthusiasts from around the world flock here. They are drawn by the high-altitude observation platforms, ski slopes, snow park, hiking eco-trails, and the opportunity to climb Elbrus, the highest mountain in Russia and Europe. Elbrus boasts the highest cable car in the country, at an altitude of 3,847 meters. Its uniqueness is confirmed by the Russian Book of Records. The resort boasts a well-developed infrastructure: 19.5 km of maintained ski slopes, 7 ski lifts (including 3 modern gondola lifts), over 65 km of nature trails, and approximately 800 accommodations of varying comfort levels. The resort offers skiing opportunities even in spring and summer. The ski season continues until July, with training camps for regional and national Russian alpine skiing and freestyle teams, and all-Russian alpine skiing competitions taking place.

Elbrus Resort staff laid flowers at the "Heroes of the Defense of Elbrus Region" memorial, located on the slope of Mount Elbrus in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.

⠀

The monument was erected in 1987, based on a design by Viktor Savostikov, Valery Korneev, and Nikolai Kravchenko. The "Heroes of the Defense of Elbrus Region" monument is dedicated to all those who died defending the impregnable slopes of Elbrus during the Great Patriotic War.

⠀

Construction of the "Heroes of the Defense of Elbrus Region" monument began in 1986 and was completed a year later, with the grand opening taking place on May 9. The monument consists of seven aluminum steles of varying heights, the central one reaching four and a half meters, mounted on a two-meter-thick foundation made of stone blocks. The steles contain the names of 219 Heroes of the Soviet Union who died in the battles on Elbrus.
