ELBRUS 5642m
The fact that this mountain is the highest in Europe suffices for many to go and see it, or climb it. But this obvious attraction is not the main one, for Elbrus belongs to a handful of mountains with a special kind of beauty, witch lies in their shape and setting. Most of them are volcanoes such us Fujiyama, Ararat, and Kilimanjaro. Like all these this mountain is a world apart. It stands 11km north of the Main Range and exceeds its neighbours in height by 1,500-2,500m. And like all big and isolated mountains it has bewitching features of being elusive and unexpected. Even if you see its details in clear-cut lines, you never realize all its vastness until you try to walk to some point on its slopes, and you never expect it to be so high and majestic until its shining snows at the top come out of the clouds. Enjoy the great ski tour trip to top of Europe, breathtaking view from the summit and downhill skiing almost 3000m high difference.
