Elbrus Accommodation

Many hotels are poorly managed, run-down and offer poor services. Alpine camps offer similar services but accommodation is in huts or tents with communal washing and toilet facilities. For private individuals it is not easy to contact the area from the outside and accommodation is best found on arrival in the valley. Prices are negotiable, alpine camps offer rooms for several dollars a night, hotels are more expensive.

The following are recommended: Cheget and Wolfram hotels (in Terskol); Alpine Base Jantugan in Adylsu. In Adyrsu: hotel New Jailik, Alpine Camp Ullutau. Elbrus slopes: Garabashi Huts, Diesel Hut. Price is $10-15 per night, often full in July and August.
