Elbrus will open ski slopes on November 11

Elbrus Resort on November 11 officially launches the ski season 2026/2027. At the first stage, the high-altitude highway “Garabashi – Mir” was opened for skiing. The rest of the tracks and sectors of the resort will be opened gradually - as snow accumulates and taking into account weather conditions.

In the new season, the full launch of a new ski area in the eastern sector at altitudes of 3300-3500 meters is also expected. The grand opening of the season and festive events are scheduled for the first weekend of December. They will be held in the format of a gastro festival on the Azau clearing. Thus, the resort starts from one track, and will present a full-fledged program closer to the beginning of winter.

Experts note that the opening of a new zone in the eastern sector at altitudes of 3300-3500 meters will significantly expand the opportunities of the resort for experienced riders. Experts explain the transfer of festive events to December by the desire of the organizers to gather guests by the time more tracks work.

Earlier it was reported that ski resorts in Russia are waiting for the growth of tourist flow by 10%.
