about tour - Ski safari on the slopes of Elbrus, Mamison and Cei

7 May, 2026

A great tour. I especially liked that in less than a week we managed to ski on the slopes of Elbrus, Mamison, and Tsei, and those who wanted could also go up Cheget. There was plenty to enjoy off the slopes as well, thermal springs, restaurant outings, and spending time with a friendly group made the trip even more memorable.
