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.

Elbrus is launching its first "Sunset in the Mountains" fare.

Starting August 7, guests of the legendary resort will have the unique opportunity to ascend the mountains at sunset. The special "Sunset in the Mountains" fare will allow photographers, videographers, content creators, and connoisseurs of spectacular views to capture the best light of day at a record-breaking altitude of 3,847 meters.

The experimental fare will run until the end of August. Cable car rides will be available during extended hours exclusively on Fridays and Saturdays from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This ticket validity period allows you to ascend to the top to catch the "golden hour" and return.

Tickets can only be purchased at the resort ticket office and must be used on the day of purchase. This restriction is due to the changeable weather in the high mountains: ticket sales will only begin once staff have verified that clouds will not obscure the sunset sky.

"Getting to an altitude of 3,847 meters during the golden hour is a special opportunity, previously available only to climbers and resort staff. Now, you can simply buy a cable car ticket and experience the mountain to its fullest. This opportunity has never been available before, and it's not guaranteed to be repeated in the future, so I sincerely recommend taking advantage of it," noted Rustam Tapaev, Deputy General Director of Kavkaz.RF.
