More than 255,000 people vacationed at resorts managed by Kavkaz.RF over the summer.
For the Ossetian resort Mamison, this was its debut summer season. The resort welcomed 19,000 visitors. At the legendary Elbrus, nature interfered with plans—due to a mudslide in Tyrnyauz and a blocked road, not everyone who wanted to visit the legendary mountain was able to do so, but nevertheless, the tourist flow for the three summer months exceeded 230,000 people. Currently, the cable cars at both resorts are undergoing scheduled maintenance: Elbrus from September 3 to 24, and Mamison from September 15 to November 1. Scheduled maintenance helps to prepare for the winter season.
"This year, Elbrus saw the latest end to the skiing season in history, lasting 224 days: from November 25 to July 6. During the climbing season, we welcomed more than ten thousand climbers. The number of schoolchildren in organized groups increased 2.6 times. This summer, thousands of children from all over the country visited the highest mountain peak in Russia and Europe," says Andrey Yumshanov, CEO of Kavkaz.RF.
By the summer of 2025, two new routes will be open on Elbrus, which Kavkaz.RF opened for the 80th anniversary of Victory Day: the Victory Trail and the 105th Picket. For trekking enthusiasts, the resort has introduced one-day and multi-day rates.
Mamison, maintaining its image as the most creative, presented the results of a large trail-building festival: new viewing platforms, stylish art objects, meditation areas, and hammocks for contemplation. The relief of the slopes was complemented by a modern tent camp, where you can seclude yourself and experience the best sunrise of your life in nature.
The program of events was experimental and intense. At Mamison, the first art festival combined folk and ambient music, crafts and art, gastronomy, and light shows. At Elbrus, at an altitude of 3,500 meters, a symphony orchestra played at sunset, and together with 4,000 volunteers, it was possible to clean up trash at the Clean Mountain festival.
"We are constantly searching for interesting ways for our resort guests to spend their free time. We are now actively preparing for the winter season, which will also have a packed program: from the opening of evening skiing on Elbrus to the launch of all 19 km of the widest slopes on Mamison. The best solution right now is to buy a discounted season ski pass for one of our resorts, or better yet, for both. We have also recently started selling “7 days in season” and “10 days in season” passes, which allow you to lock in the cost of tickets for the period you need. Special purchase conditions will be valid until the end of September," notes Deputy General Director Rustam Tapaev.
A new type of vacation—organized eco-trail tours—was introduced in the summer of 2025 at the Veduchi resort. Accompanied by experienced guides and a photographer, guests could walk along picturesque routes with views of the Daneduk ridge. Major construction work is continuing at Veduchi, with a cable car connecting the two slopes being built. A large hotel managed by the Cosmos group is scheduled to open in the fall.
