Ski tours in Bezengui region, Central Caucasus and ascent of Elbrus
In impending ski season CET Neva agency offers to take part in mountain ski travels in NEW great Region - Bezengui. This region is a part of the Central Caucasus next to the East from Baksan Valley and Elbrus. Except for Elbrus this is the most elevated region of the Caucasus. The segment of the Main Caucasian Range of 12km length situated here is called "Bezengui Wall". It contains two five-thousanders, Shkhara and Dzhangui-tau, and several other summits close to this altitude. This immense two kilometer height barrier of rocks, ice and snow towers over the Bezengui glacier, the longest one on the northern side of the Main Range. Three other five-thousanders of the region, Koshtan-tau, Mizhirgui and Dykh-tau, stand in the Lateral Ridge to the North of the Main one. The region, often called "Himalaya in miniature", is very attractive for skiers.
The second part of ski program offers ascent of Elbrus (5642m). Elbrus summiting by ski and following 25 km descending with 2500 m level difference are main attraction of the program.
