Climbing to the Highest Mountain in Europe - Elbrus (EL-01)
OVERVIEW
The legendary Mount Elbrus (5,642m) is one of the World’s Seven Summits and an essential ascent for those who can meet the challenge and reach the roof of Europe! Travelling amongst the four- and five thousand metre peaks you can’t miss the highest one of all. You’ll be stunned by the view of the double- capped Elbrus, towering in its majestic grandeur over lower ranges of snowy mountains, and inviting you to scale it. The breathtaking scenery of the Caucasian mountains and this ultimate climbing challenge will make this trip unforgettable for anyone looking for some holiday adrenaline!

The ascent of Mount Elbrus by the classic route from the South, which is the most popular, is a splendid, long, high-altitude climb over a moderate incline, that requires good acclimatization but has no technical difficulties. However, despite the apparent simplicity of this route, it still can be dangerous because of frequently changing weather conditions.

After your ascent don’t miss the chance to try the delicious Caucasian cuisine and local wine; and on your way back have fun discovering Moscow, the political, cultural and commercial centre of Russia. This amazing trip will stay in your memory forever - Mount Elbrus is too much of a challenge to miss!

CUSTOMERS REVIEW
Trip was awesome, very satisfying if somewat painful....I think a bit more time acclimatising would be better, but aprt from that it was amazing. Thank you so much.
Nameed Maan
Sitting outside the hut waiting for the others to arrive after reaching the top of Europe and exchanging congratulations as they stumble back into camp is for me possibly the most satisfying time. It's when you see your own struggle reflected in the condition of the people around you. it marks the real culmination of the 14 hour summit slog, the 5 days of climbing before it, the months of training before that, and the years that you've been wanting to do this.
Nabil
Just a quick mail to say thank you for all your help in organising Kenneth and Kevin's trip to Elbrus. They arrived back home on Saturday, shattered but overwhelmed. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience having reached the summit on Wednesday last. Everyone they met through Go-Russia was so professional and pleasant.
Suzanne
The guides used on Elbrus were exceptional and made the trip very very special, specifically Lena and Eugene.
Christiaan de Wet
Just back home from a wonderful 10 day trip to Elbrus. I would like to thank you for your assistance in organising the trip, which was well planned in every detail. It was without a doubt an experience of a lifetime. Please pass on my thanks to Roxana and Igor for their kindness and professionalism, with guides like those you cannot go wrong.
Con Cronin
The tour itself lasted twelve days, the acclimatization hikes where set out perfectly and time on the mountain was also arranged perfectly. The food was adequate and accommodation was suitable. Summit day the weather was fantastic with extra guides brought in for the group. The guides were professional well organised and methodical, knew the mountain well and that reflected on the day.
