About Elbrus Expert
Real people behind every summit
More than mountains
We are a team of Russian mountain guides from the North Caucasus. For 12+ years we have been taking travellers from all over the world to Elbrus, Altai and Kamchatka — in small groups, with unhurried acclimatisation and honest decisions on the mountain.
Our guides also teach at our own mountaineering school, where beginners learn crampon, rope and ice-axe skills before their first big peak.
