Elbrus Expedition
ELBRUS- EXPEDITION WITH MOUNTAIN GUIDE
Elbrus (5642m) is a majestic volcano situated in the Caucasus mountain range in Russia. It is also one of The Seven Summits – the highest mountains of each of the seven continents, regarded as one of the greatest mountaineering challenges. Elbrus is considered to be the highest peak of Europe. It is famous not only because of it’s height, but also because of it’s unique shape and setting.
