Only mountains are better than mountains
A mountain day to the max. First you will conquer Cheget mountain, and then Elbrus. Of course, on ropeways. The oversaturation of beauty and oxygen can make you dizzy, but the delicious food and tea at local restaurants will make up for it.

Cheget Glade
Landmark
Open Details
And here you are already in the mountains! The Cheget glade at the foot of the mountain of the same name is the first to greet you. Cheget is one of the highest mountains in the Caucasus, about 3700 meters high. You can admire the view of Elbrus from there. To do that, you have to take a chairlift and reach the highest point at 3000 meters.
It's better to get up early and come to the glade before the chairlifts open (09:00), so you'll have time to get to the top before lunch and see Elbrus without any clouds.

Cheget ropeway
Cable Car
Open Details
The chairlift takes you to a height of 3000 meters for the best views. And from this height you can see the majestic Elbrus up close.
Don't forget that it's cold and very windy at the top, so warm clothes are needed even in summer. One more thing: it is better to climb Cheget in the morning, it might be cloudy by the afternoon, and one might not see anything.

Open Details
In the afternoon you will find the most important mountain in the Caucasus - Elbrus. The pride of the local region and the real queen among the Caucasian peaks. "The eternal mountain" is its literal translation. It rises to a height of almost 6 km and is a calling card. You can get closer to its summit by a cable car.
There are 3 stages of ascent: "Azau-Krugozor", "Krugozor-Mir" (3500 meters), "Mir-Elbrus" (3780 meters).
