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 9,000 people attended the "KAVKAZ FEST - 2026" on Elbrus.

The grand concert, organized by Kavkaz.RF, generated a great deal of excitement among guests and proved that the legendary resort can host large-scale events. People's Artist of Russia, singer Dima Bilan, headlined the event.

On August 15, the Elbrus resort hosted a large-scale event combining music, culture, sports, and tourism. It attracted over 9,000 guests, making it one of the largest in the North Caucasus.

The program began with morning yoga at the Mir high-altitude station. Later in the day, guests took part in an eco-walk along the "Victory Trail" route with renowned mountaineer Alina Pekova, the first Russian woman to climb all 14 eight-thousanders in the world.

The resort also hosted a landscape painting workshop, "Elbrus on Canvas," with artist Murat Dyshekov, an open meeting on "Regional Development through Culture, Sports, and Tourism," gastronomic and creative workshops, traditional dances, DJ sets, and family and children's activities.

The main event of the "KAVKAZ FEST" was a large open-air concert. Popular North Caucasus artists performed on one stage, and the evening culminated with a performance by Dima Bilan. Thousands of spectators gathered near the resort's main stage in the large parking lot. The concert was free for resort guests.

"For the third day in a row, we've received hundreds of grateful reviews from spectators and visitors to Elbrus. And this is the best answer to the question of whether the resort needs such large-scale events. August is perhaps the busiest month of the summer season. "This coming weekend, we invite everyone to the Mamison art festival at our Ossetian resort, and very soon we will announce the dates for our favorite event, 'Clean Mountain,' on Elbrus," says Rustam Tapaev, Deputy General Director of Kavkaz.RF.

"We wanted to create an event that would draw people to Elbrus, spend the whole day there, see the mountains from a different perspective, and make them want to return. More than nine thousand guests today are the best confirmation that this format has a great future," notes Timur Khatsaev, the project's producer.

Kavkaz.RF is the unified development institute for the North Caucasus. Under the supervision of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, the company builds and develops resorts, manages a tourism and recreational special economic zone, creates conditions for business development in the region, and fosters a favorable investment climate. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak oversees the North Caucasus Federal District in the Russian Government.
