If someone asks you what the highest and most beautiful mountains are in Europe, your immediate answer will probably be \u201cthe Alps\u201d. However, the highest and most unique in mineral resources, relief, flora and fauna are the mountains of the Big Caucasus. This mountain range includes five peaks of over 5,000 meters above sea level, the most famous of which, the majestic Elbrus, is a \u201cmust\u201d for all mountain lovers and professional mountaineers.<\/p>\n

Just the fact that this mountain is the highest in Europe and is one of the world-famous \u201cSeven Summit\u201d peaks makes some people excited to see it and, finally, to conquer it. The mountain belongs, however, to a small number of mountains in the world which also attract people by their unique beauty. The ascent to Elbrus requires only basic mountaineering skills, although high altitude and unpredictable weather make the climbing more serious and challenging than it may seem.<\/p>\n

The local name of Elbrus is Mengi Tau, which means \u201cThe Mountain of a thousand mountains.\u201d This name is justified, as the glaciated giant slopes are built of thickened lava flows and both peaks of Elbrus are more than 1,000 m higher than the rest of the Caucasus Chain.<\/p>\n

Level<\/h3>\n

Though non-technical, the climb of Elbrus requires a good degree of fitness. The conditions on summit day are typically quite challenging. Though we will travel at a moderate pace, being fit is the best way to avoid excess fatigue on the mountain and will greatly increase your chance of summiting. Anyone attempting this peak should be in excellent physical shape. You will spend much time at altitudes above 3,500 meters.
\nOn this expedition, expect 5-7 hours of physical activity per day at altitude and that will be over several days! Whilst there are few technical difficulties on this trip, the summit day is tough and demanding because the vertical height between the refuge\/hut and the summit is important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
