RMH SKAZKA LODGE

The RMH Skazka Lodge

On all our signature Mount Elbrus climbing trips, we accommodate our guests in our own hotels – Skazka Lodge. RMH’s eco-hotel “Skazka Lodge” is fully built of Siberian pine wood in the classic Canadian ski lodge style and is located in the very best location in the area in Terskol village at the foot of Mount Cheget and in just 5 minutes drive to the very foot of Mount Elbrus. The acclimatization trek to Mount Cheget (where we go on Day 3 of the climb) starts right from the doors of Skazka Lodge. The hotel is located in its own fenced area (2.5 hectares) of a pine forest, on the bank of the river Donguzorun. This is a quiet and calm place where you can enjoy a comfortable and safe stay surrounded by magnificent mountain peaks in the very heart of the Great Caucasus Range.

 

Skazka Lodge includes 2 hotel buildings; a Russian traditional wood-burning bath, and a dry sauna with ice-cold glacier water pool.

 

At Skazka Lodge we provide private room accommodation for each guest on our Mount Elbrus Climb trips for your maximum relaxing experience and best sleep.

 

For couples, families, or close friends, we are happy to provide accommodation in our family rooms upon request.
