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.

Upcoming events calendar at Elbrus.

March 25-29 — Final stage of the main freeride competition, FWQ 3* (registration is now open!). Spectacular tricks and graceful lines from the most experienced riders.

May 2-8 — Red Fox Elbrus Race: this will bring together skyrunning, ski mountaineering, and snowshoeing enthusiasts.

August 1-3 — Alpindustria Elbrus Race trail running festival, with a 131-km lead course, a "ring" around Elbrus.

June 9-15 — Rocks of Russia climbing festival.

Almost 70 km of eco-trails have been laid, including 12 km of new routes. The high-altitude ones will open in July, while the lower ones will become accessible earlier, in June.

Thanks to the Garabashi Glacier, the resort remains a training and educational base this summer: it will host National League of Instructors courses, and the Russian alpine skiing and freestyle skiing teams will also attend. Training will culminate with the Elbrus Prize competition for teenagers aged 12-15, a giant slalom race at an altitude of 4,100 meters.
