The ski season at #Elbrus has opened in spectacular fashion. Let’s recall that this is the highest-altitude ski resort in Russia, featuring the highest cable car in the country — Mir–Gara-Bashi, which lifts visitors up to 3,847 m. Climbers accustomed to reaching such heights on foot will appreciate it — though they will still choose to go on foot 🙌🏻 Elbrus offers a magnificent opportunity to ski non-stop from the top station at 3,847 m all the way to the foot of the mountain. Two ski areas are already open: 1. Krugozor–Mir — 3,000–3,500 m 2. Mir–Gara-Bashi — 3,500–3,847 m —> The Azau–Krugozor section (2,350–3,000 m) is being prepared for opening. A new ski zone has been launched near the Terskol Peak Observatory — Bashtala–Chiran, at an altitude of 3,300–3,560 m. It includes 5 km of black and red runs, as well as two lifts: a chairlift and a gondola. 📍 Map of slopes and lifts Additionally, Elbrus now has illuminated slopes, making evening skiing available. But the news that excited me most: this summer, at an altitude of 3,900 m, a mountaineering village with 15 residential modules will open. Time to head to Elbrus! 🏙️Beyond Moscow🏔️
