Among other things, it is very important to walk in your shoes to avoid any blisters during the journey up, so something we tried was to walk 20 times up and down the hagabacken with a full pack which is one of Stockholm's highest points. If you live in a big city, you have to adapt your training to what is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine that you need to be able to carry at least about 20kg during certain stages and that you should be able to walk for a longer time as well. Mix strength training with cardio training, don't be blind to either. The pace of the hike is not too high, but long distances and many hours make it good to be properly prepared. We recommend that you take a longer hike in warm weather before travelling.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banners-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-173363448\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-4099615485\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/produkt\/hybrid-traveller-portabel-5g-router-med-backup-batteri-i-over-6-timmar-usb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"freedom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/freedom.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"288\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-37938\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1196\" height=\"673\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Elbrus.jpg\" alt=\"Elbrus\" class=\"wp-image-37938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Elbrus.jpg 1196w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Elbrus-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Elbrus-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Elbrus-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Elbrus-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1196px) 100vw, 1196px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sunrise at 04:30 on the way to the top.

The group was even and we had no problems with people being too poorly prepared. Some language barriers but nothing that affected the climb. All but one person made it to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most challenging part of the climb was probably the heat. The sun was strong and while you wanted to take off your clothes, you had to protect yourself from burning, which is very easy to do at high altitudes with lots of snow. Sun protection factor 50 was on every day for 2 weeks! And whoever did not have it suffered the next day so to speak.<\/p><div class=\"freed-placering-11 freed-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"freed-844440642\"><div

One second it's sunny, the next it's hailing and then suddenly it turns into a thunderstorm deluxe. Very fascinating when you are there and get to experience it. However, this is also the biggest danger with a hike like this. If you are taken by surprise by the weather at high altitude, it can end very badly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning to hike at higher altitudes, you should really listen to the advice on acclimatisation days. The difference of an extra day can be the difference between making it to the top or not. The guys who were on Kilimanjaro say that it is not possible to compare the trips precisely because the acclimatisation was so much better (more days) on Elbrus. While Kilimanjaro, without proper acclimatisation, offered dizziness, nausea and exhaustion, Elbrus offered a hike where it was possible to enjoy the summit and where the aforementioned symptoms were virtually non-existent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hur-tog-ni-er-fram-till-berget-och-hur-upplevde-ni-nbsp-resan-genom-ryssland\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hur_tog_ni_er_fram_till_berget_och_hur_upplevde_ni_resan_genom_Ryssland\"><\/span>How did you get to the mountain and how did you experience the journey through Russia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We started by flying to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2018\/02\/upplevelser-i-moskva\/\">Moscow<\/a> where we made a stopover before travelling on to Mineralnye Vody in southern Russia. There we were picked up by our guide Vladimir who took us to Kislovodsk where we spent a night in a hotel before it was time to leave for Elbrus.
