The next morning, a cable car to the Chegeta slope with a view of the double—headed Elbrus and the Seven glacier, then a climb to Elbrus to a height of 3847 m — Garabashi station, where the world seems snow-white and endless. A festive program, animation and a New Year's disco at the big Christmas tree are waiting for you.

You will have the opportunity to go skiing, buns and snowboarding, the final chord: the icy Chegem waterfalls, gorge narrows and a sip of narzan in Bogatyr glade.
