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.

The 2025/2026 ski season at the Elbrus resort has concluded.

The winter season at the all-season Elbrus resort has officially closed, with the final opening date set for July 5th. Ski slope preparation and ski pass sales have ceased as of this date.

However, the cable cars will continue to operate as usual. Tourists can still purchase tickets for the ski lift to the Garabashi station (3,847 m) and enjoy panoramic views of the Caucasus Mountains from the observation decks.

Visitors to the resort can look forward to a unique experience: sending a postcard from the highest mountain postbox in the country, riding the high-altitude swing at the Mir station (3,500 m), and tasting mountain tea and aromatic khychins.

The Elbrus resort retains its appeal in the summer, offering guests a variety of options for active and contemplative mountain recreation.
