Elbrus Resort Announces Closure of Winter Season
From July 6, the preparation of ski slopes and the sale of ski passes will stop, but the cable cars will continue to operate, the resort administration reported.
As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, on June 29, the Elbrus resort closed the cable cars due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. Tourists who remained in the cable car cabins and on the mountain descended with the help of rescuers.
The 2024/2025 winter season ends on July 6. From that day, the preparation of ski slopes and the sale of ski passes for skiing will stop, the Elbrus resort administration reported today on its Telegram channel.
The cable cars will continue to operate. "You will be able to purchase tickets for a tourist climb to the Garabashi station at a height of 3,847 meters," the message says.
Recall that after many countries closed their borders due to the coronavirus pandemic, Russian tourists turned more attention to resorts within the country, in particular, in the North Caucasus. One of the most popular ski resorts was Elbrus. At the same time, vacationers complained about queues for ski lifts and traffic jams on the roads.
Elbrus is a winter resort in Kabardino-Balkaria, which is popular among fans of alpine skiing, freeriding, snowboarding and other extreme sports.
