About the route

In the new season we are opening Snowshoeing Tours. This type of outdoor activity, which became very popular in Europe many years ago, has now come to the Elbrus region. Why Snowshoeing? Do you like mountains and go to mountain tracks? You have a unique opportunity to extend the mountain season and go on an unforgettable journey through the snowy mountains. Do you love mountains in winter but don't ski?

You have a great opportunity to walk where there is a lot of snow, wildlife and silence. Are you eager to visit the mountains in winter, but don't have the equipment? You have a great opportunity to fulfill your dream. You don't need anything special for snowshoeing! Even snowshoes, they will be at the box office! Snowshoes are more budgetary, do not require special shoes, their rental will be cheaper than skis and boots.

And finally, snowshoeing, in comparison with alpine skiing or ski-touring, does not require any special skills or special physical preparation, but it makes it possible to combine a payload on a very large muscle group with a pleasant contemplation of mountain peaks.

Our routes are adapted to different skill levels of participants.

All routes are divided into 3 categories according to difficulty: simple - "S" medium difficulty - "M" difficult - "D"

Simple - "S" These are routes on not difficult terrain and have a duration of 2 to 4 hours. Usually close to populated areas (optimal for those who want to take a break from skiing or who come for the weekend).

Medium difficulty - "M" Routes on a simple relief and long (4-6 hours), with inclined relief elements.

Difficult - "D" (very difficult - D*). Long (6-9 hours), sections of medium steepness, steep sections of relief. Additional equipment required: crampons, ice ax, rope, harness. We offer exclusive tours to the most beautiful places :
