- · This is not a beginner trek. You need prior experience with crampons, ice axe and roped glacier travel, or be ready to complete our pre-climb skills day without issue
- · Season runs June to September only; outside this window the route is not offered
- · Weather on Kazbek changes fast above the Meteo Station, the summit day itinerary can shift by a day and the Day 5 buffer exists for this reason
- · Personal rescue and high-altitude insurance is mandatory and checked before departure
- · Bring your own mountaineering boots (B2/B3 rated), layered clothing for conditions from 20°C to minus 15°C, and a sleeping bag rated to at least minus 10°C
- · The Meteo Station hut has basic facilities; no showers above Stepantsminda
Do I need previous mountaineering experience?
Yes. You should have prior experience with crampons, an ice axe and roped travel on glaciers. We run a skills refresher on Day 2 but this is not a first-time mountaineering course.
What is the success rate for reaching the summit?
It depends entirely on the weather window during your scheduled days. We build in a buffer day for this reason, but summit success is never guaranteed on Kazbek.
Can I rent equipment instead of bringing my own?
Crampons, harness, ice axe and helmet can be rented, cost confirmed at booking. Mountaineering boots are best brought from home for fit.
Is this priced per person or per group?
€1890 per person is based on two people travelling together. Solo climbers and groups of three or more are quoted on request, as group size changes the guide ratio.
Prices are per person for two travelling together, in euros; solo travellers and larger groups are quoted on request. Every departure is private and adjusted to you. Hotels, wineries and restaurants on our routes are verified by GTour.
