Elbrus Elbrus

Elbrus area

The Elbrus Region (Prielbrusie) is the name often given to a section of the Caucasus extending from the western foothills of Mount Elbrus to the Chegem valley in the east. It includes the highest massif of the Caucasus Range - Elbrus (5642m) - and those parts of the Main (Glavnyi) Caucasus watershed and side ridges that form the upper Baksan river catchment area. The watershed marks the border between Europe and Asia; also the national border between the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (part of the Russian Federation) to the north, and Georgia to the south.

It is wild, more adventurous and can be more interesting by this particular reason. But physical fitness and previous mountaineering experience are crusial if you choose the Northern route, because it will offer to participants the longer and harder walking days than on the Southern routes.
