Kazbek is the fifth highest mountain in Georgia and lies to the east of the country near Vladikavkaz in Russia. Its peak towers over the Caucasus Mountain range, offering spectacular views of the Greater Caucasus and the snow-covered slopes of the surrounding peaks. The sheer size and steepness of the mountain makes it a difficult climb, not recommended for novice mountaineers but an excellent challenge for the more experienced. This destination is popular among daring alpinists and photographers alike, as the surrounding valley and the summit of Kazbek provide opportunities to capture an incredible range of unforgettable images. For those looking to take on the challenge, the starting point is typically the village of Stepantsminda.
