Climate of the Elbrus region

The climate of the Elbrus region is formed under the influence of a high-mountainous, sharply dissected and contrasting relief. On the plains it is continental, and high in the mountains even in the middle of summer is below zero.

Each high-altitude zone has its own climatic features. With height, the atmospheric pressure drops markedly in the upper limits to 25%, the weight content of oxygen decreases proportionally, and the intensity of solar radiation, in particular, the ultraviolet, increases. During excursions related to mountain climbing, these circumstances should always be taken into account to avoid overheating and sunburn.

In terms of the number of sunny days, the Elbrus region is not inferior to such resorts as Dombai, Teberda and Krasnaya Polyana. The snow cover here is set in November, in the valleys the snow lies around mid-May-June.

It is there that one of the most difficult trails on the world ski resorts, which is "to the teeth" only to experienced skiers.
