Elbrus

The Elbrus ski resort is located in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic in the Elbrus region 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 all over the world flock here. They are attracted by high-altitude observation decks, ski slopes, a snow park, eco-trails, and the opportunity to climb Elbrus, the highest mountain in Russia and Europe. Elbrus is home to 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 has a well-developed infrastructure: 19.5 km of equipped ski slopes, 7 lifts (including 3 modern gondola lifts), more than 65 km of eco-trails, and about 800 accommodation options of various comfort levels. The resort offers the opportunity to enjoy skiing even in spring and summer. The skiing season continues until July, with training camps for regional and national Russian teams in alpine skiing and freestyle, as well as all-Russian alpine skiing competitions.

By winter, builders at Kavkaz.RF are preparing the long-awaited lighting for the slopes. This means that the resort will soon offer a new service—evening skiing.

The first section to be lit will be Azau–Krugosor. Fifty-four masts will be installed along this 2.4 km section, on which the lights will be mounted. Some of the masts will be 16 meters high, classic, and three will be 20 meters high. They will be located in the run-out zone at Polyana Azau and will illuminate the entire area.

The artificial snowmaking system on the slopes will also be upgraded before the start of the season: specialists are building a second pumping station and two transformer stations, and laying 3.3 km of pipes.

The lighting and snowmaking systems will be ready at the resort by early November, and Elbrus will be ready to welcome all ski lovers for the 56th time!
