Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Transfer to Kabardino-Balkaria. Azau Meadow

    24:00 Departure of the group from Krasnodar by a comfortable bus from the Drama Theater, 110 Krasnoarmeyskaya str. (fee for 20 minutes). 

    Transfer to the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria (about 600 km).

    Breakfast (its own dry. rations or in a cafe for an additional fee).

    10:00 The Elbrus resort is located in the Caucasus, deep in the Baksan Valley and combines two mountain slopes — Elbrus and Cheget.

    Those who wish can climb even higher, to the Gara-Bashi station (3780m).

    Lunch at one of the many cafes in the Azau meadow (optional for an additional fee). 

    The local cuisine is the best way to relax in the mountains: the thick and fragrant lagman will warm and give strength in the middle of the day. 

    The portions are usually of such a size that there is no room for a barbecue, except for a hookah with herbal tea or mulled wine.

    17:00 Return to Pyatigorsk.
