7 Day 6 Night

 

Summit: Mount Kazbek – 5,054 m
Region: Caucasus Mountains / Georgia
Duration: 7 days
High Camp: Meteo Station – 3,650 m
Starting Point: Stepantsminda (Kazbegi)

Mount Kazbek (5,054 m), one of the most impressive peaks in the Caucasus Mountains, is a major destination for high-altitude mountaineering thanks to its extensive glacial fields and classic climbing routes.

As part of this expedition, a trek will be undertaken from the Georgian mountain town of Stepantsminda along the classic route up Mount Kazbek to the Meteo Camp, followed by acclimatisation climbs and, weather permitting, an attempt on the summit.

Throughout the programme, participants will have the opportunity to experience camp life at high altitudes, traverse a glacier and practise the discipline of working as a team in a real mountain environment.

Mount Kazbek offers an ideal experience, particularly for climbers aiming for a peak over 5,000 metres following a climb of Mount Ararat.

This activity is designed for athletes with experience of high-altitude hiking and a good grasp of basic mountaineering techniques.

With proper planning, teamwork and favourable weather conditions, reaching the summit of Kazbek will be an unforgettable mountaineering experience for participants.
