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.

Over 3,700 volunteers, including more than 500 children, took part in the annual Clean Mountain environmental tourism festival at the Elbrus resort. This year, 14 tons of trash were collected on the slopes of Elbrus.

This was the eighth time the high-altitude clean-up day had been held. The eco-festival was organized by the Caucasus Development Institute with the support of the Government of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.

Accompanied by experienced instructors and resort rescue workers, the volunteers cleaned up six areas.

The Clean Mountain festival brings together volunteers who care about ecology, nature conservation, conscious lifestyles, and waste-free consumption, and helps to shape a culture of recreation and responsible attitudes towards the environment. From a one-off initiative, the festival has grown into a major celebration involving several generations of families.
