Ski weekend in Ossetia

We are going to get acquainted with the Mamison ski resort, the youngest ski resort in Russia, opened in March 2025, and Cei, one of the oldest ski resorts in the Caucasus, which has existed since the seventies of the last century. The slopes of Cei are great for both professionals and beginners.

With the opening of the resort, a second life has come to the inaccessible Mamison gorge. Among the ruins of ancestral towers and temples, the mountain resort seems designed to combine history and modernity, age—old traditions and sports. Skiing and snowboarding on a variety of trails for all levels of training awaits us, as well as the opportunity to taste local cuisine and enjoy the unique atmosphere of mountainous Ossetia and Ingushetia on additional excursions.

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the tour providers for their professionalism and attention to detail. Everything was thoughtfully planned, from the itinerary to the warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the trip. a special thank-you goes to our guide, Dmitri. Thanks to him, every participant felt cared for and included. We shared many laughs, had wonderful conversations about the mountains, and truly enjoyed every moment of the journey. I would also like to thank our driver, Yuri, for his calm demeanor, confidence behind the wheel, and the sense of safety he provided every step of the way. in the mountains, that kind of reliability is priceless. Thank you for your professionalism, patience, and positive spirit. Traveling with you was more than just getting from one place to another - it was an essential part of a truly unforgettable adventure ! ✨🏔

    I would especially like to highlight the excellent organization of the tour. Everything was arranged at the highest level: comfortable minibus transfers, well-located hotels, precise scheduling, and great attention to detail. I was particularly impressed that we traveled through Dagestan and Chechnya during the holy month of Ramadan, when Muslims observe strict fasting. Because of this, many cafés and restaurants were closed during the day, and even some grocery stores were not operating. Nevertheless, this did not prevent us from discovering the delicious Caucasian cuisine, hearty breakfasts and lunches were organized for us everywhere we went. I would also like to thank our guides for their courtesy, punctuality, and the fascinating way they introduced us to the culture and traditions of the peoples of the Caucasus.
