Kazbek is one of the most popular and beautiful glaciers of the Caucasus Range, height 5033 m. It is located on the border between Georgia and Russia, belongs to the part of the Khokhsky Range. On the Georgian side, at an altitude of 3600 m, there is a meteorological station where climbers undergo acclimatization and prepare for the ascent. Climbing from the side of Georgia, an excellent severe ski tour to Kazbek and descent down on skis or snowboard. Great option for those who don't want to go down on foot!<\/p>\n

Starting points from 40 to 55\u00ba, this freeride route is for experienced riders only. Vertical drop in slopes and unstable snow on the terrain make the route very dangerous. This tour has descent lines with avalanche risk. Only a guide who is oriented in these places and knows the terrain can correctly assess them. Ski touring experience and good physical shape are a must!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
