Russia
1 / 24Mt. Cheget ski resort is located in Russia's North Caucasus Federal District. It offers 20 km of slopes for skiing and snowboarding. 5 lifts transport guests.
Trail information
Cheget stands opposite Elbrus in the Baksan gorge and is probably the most severe mountain in Russia. The runs are not groomed at all: the slopes are mogulled and in places rocky, and the lifts are old double chairs installed back in Soviet times. That is exactly why Cheget has been a mountain for experienced skiers since the 1960s, and the reputation has not faded. The second stage opens the classic view of the twin summit of Elbrus. Avalanche danger here is real, and straying off the slope without a guide is not advisable.

What visitors say about the resort
Mt. Cheget is a resort with a reputation, and the reviews confirm it: visitors come for the challenging terrain, powder and views of Elbrus, not the service. Experienced skiers write that nowhere else in Russia offers similar skiing - the pistes are almost never groomed, and the slope lives its own life.
That is exactly what it is also criticized for. Old chairlifts, a lack of trail marking, avalanche danger and the complete absence of resort infrastructure are common themes in reviews. Beginners, in the unanimous view, have no business here: they are sent to neighboring Elbrus. The café at "Ai" is also singled out and mentioned in reviews almost as often as the pistes themselves.
