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.

Evening skiing on Elbrus has become a daily occurrence.

"This is the best thing that's ever happened to the Krugozor-Azau trail," guests are reacting to the news from Kavkaz.RF about the introduction of daily evening skiing. Elbrus' lower trail attracts up to 500 riders at a time and serves as a source of inspiration for creating atmospheric content.

"It's important that the trail's level is suitable not only for professionals but also for intermediate skiers. Although we regularly see local FWQ champions Idris Uzdenov, Alim Matkovskiy, Sofia Vukovich, and others on it. The decision to offer daily evening skiing certainly forces the operations department to work significantly harder, but it's all done for the guests, their experiences, and their joy," says Khisa Bekkaev, Deputy General Director of Kavkaz.RF, responsible for resort operations.

Night skiing has become the most anticipated new feature of the 2025/2026 winter season, along with the eastern sector ski area. Fifty-four illuminated masts were installed specifically for this ski area along a 2.4-kilometer stretch. Since its launch, 7,500 people have enjoyed the "evening skiing."

"Night skiing is the best thing that has ever happened to the Krugozor-Azau trail. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and now every day! Life on Elbrus will now be vibrant in the evenings," shares rider and blogger Darina Dzhappueva.

Every evening, guests can enjoy fresh corduroy skis when the lights are turned on. A ski pass costs less than a day pass – 2,200 rubles for adults and 1,300 rubles for children. A special offer applies when purchasing online: a 10% discount thanks to instant cashback when paying via the fast payment system.
