Conquer the Top of Europe: Mount Elbrus Expedition

Introduction

Mount Elbrus, part of the Seven Summits, is situated between the Black Sea to the west and the Caspian Sea to the east. It rises majestically from the high green plains that stretch northward into the heartland of Russia. Just to the south of the peak lies the main body of the Caucasus Mountains, a range that rivals the Alps with its stark rugged beauty. After the climb, enjoy a glimpse of Moscow, the political, economic, and cultural heart of Russia, exploring iconic sites like Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral, and the Kremlin.
