Climbing Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe at 5,642 meters, is a true adventure for mountaineers. Located in the Caucasus Mountains of Russia, it offers stunning alpine views and a challenging but achievable ascent for those with good fitness. Most climbers follow the south route, with cable car access and mountain huts, making it one of the most accessible high-altitude climbs in the world. Despite its relative ease, Elbrus demands respect—proper gear, acclimatization, and weather awareness are essential.
