With over than 30 years of experience on Elbrus and nearly 100% summit success, Alpindustria’s expertise in logistics and guides makes for an unsurpassed program. This has been an Alpindustria classic trip since the late 80’s and this is why we take great care to preplan the small details, giving you an excellent chance to reach the summit of Europe’s highest peak. Providing extra summit days, all-inclusive, multiple reservations at the High Camp hut, an excellent staff of our local certified guides, and a keen sense of how to care for our climbers helps us bridge the gap from daunting task to well-executed journey.

Alpindustria is a mountain guide, ski guide and adventure company based in the Azau Valley, at the foot of the Mount Elbrus Massif. Established in 1988, we have been organising guided trips and adventures for over than 30 years. The Alpindustria’s headquarter is located in Moscow, Russia and our local team consists of more than 20 highly qualified mountain guides, each with many years of experience guiding Mount Elbrus and actively climbing and skiing themselves.

Our 2018 season was simply stellar with over 1500 climbers, 93% success rate and fantastic post trip evaluations.

TESTIMONIALS

Thomas Dade, Australia

Great guides (Elbrus Tours), great food, great group, great accommodation and most importantly the climb and the acclimatisation hikes were amazing. It’s amazing being surrounded by mountains especially in the Caucasus mountain ranges! I couldn’t think of a better way to be introduced to mountaineering. Thank you for all your help, your customer service (Mountain Planet) and responsiveness has been amazing and really helped the whole experience run smoothly. Couldn’t recommend you as a support member enough.

Denis Ruocco, Venezuela

The climb with Alex (StrongTour) went perfectly, all good and I did summit! Really thanks for all your info, I got very good moments in Russia - amazing place with amazing people. For sure I will be back.

Maria J

We are Wanadri women series and Pemalang Team. Climbed Mt.Elbrus on 24th 2010 at 2 o'clock. It's a great mountain! But we (women 8, Irma, Danny, Indra and Aser) reached the West top! Very great guides! Sergey, Daniel, Victor and Habib! The food was great, too! Me (Maria) and Nisa will be back some day to climb Elbrus!

I returned home to Ireland safe and well and am now back at work. I wish to thank you and your company for coordinating matters in Russia / Elbrus region for this expedition. I am aware that you had many challenges to accommodate an Expedition on Elbrus in October 2013,but, as you know , it was a complete success.

Helen France

We have had a great time working with you since we started running trips to Elbrus and very much value you and your team and all the hard work that you have always put in on our trips, going above and beyond to ensure that our trekkers and climbers are incredibly well looked after when they are out with you so a big thank-you from us for all that you have done and continue to do.

Hi, our names are Radu Albu and Radu Turta. We are mountain guides and high altitude climbers. We love what we do and we try to do it perfectly. Thank you very much AlpIndustria. Signed by Radu Albu & Radu Turta.

Aleksandra

This review will be whole about how impressed I am by the services rendered by Alpindustria Team, and how thankful I am for helping me to reach my goal and climb Elbrus. If you are a foreigner, but you have ever lived in Russia, you probably noticed that quality standards can be set here on a very different level.

Yves

Thanks Viktor and Victoria for very professional service.

Ilmi

Haloo Alpindustria We are so happy, when we look the picture .. big hug for you team from slovakia... Best regard Victoria Ilmi
