East Caucasus, Corporate event - introducing to the mountains
A program for those who want to escape from the bustle of the city for a few days and get the maximum of bright and positive emotions in a short period of time, usually limited to the interval of a standard weekend. In the basic version, the program is a journey to the very heart of Dagestan, to the foot of the highest mountain in the Eastern Caucasus - the beautiful Mount Bazarduzu.
A comfortable car picks you up from Makhachkala Airport, then along the coast of the Caspian Sea we drive almost to the border with Azerbaijan, then we turn into the mountains and move along the picturesque gorge to the place of our first overnight stay - in a comfortable and modern hotel Mariam, in the village of Karakyure. On the territory of the hotel there is a very good restaurant, the specifics of which is preparing dishes of the national cuisine of Dagestan.
The next day we leave towards the highest mountain village of Dagestan and the Russian Federation, the Kurush village, located on the slope of the sacred mountain Shalbuzdag at an altitude of 2560 m in the most beautiful corner of the Eastern Caucasus. After a short sightseeing tour of the village and getting to know the traditional life of the local population, we put on our backpacks and set off for a real mountain hike - to the foot of Mount Erydag, where we will spend the night in tents in a camping place of unique beauty of landscapes.
The next day we descend to Kurush village and leave for the coast of the Caspian Sea, to Derbent - one of the main cities of the Ancient East, which has concentrated a huge number of historical and cultural attractions. The hotel that we have chosen for the last day of our program is located 100 meters from a beautiful sandy beach - that gives you a great opportunity to end your trip with a swim in the gentle surf of the Caspian Sea. We start the last day of our program with an excursion to the ancient fortress of Derbent, and after getting acquainted with the millennia-old history of this city and having a lunch break, the transfer to the Makhachkala airport will be organized.
The 4-day program "Corporate event in the mountains of Dagestan" is designed for people who do not have prior mountain travel experience. The field part of the program is adapted to be comfortable for all the participants. However, participants of this program are required to have basic tourism skills and the absence of medical contraindications to stay in the mountains.

We consider that at professional approach to development of programs, at personal discipline and correctly put motivation - occupations by mountaineering and rock-climbing are COMPLETELY safe. And from the return - all troubles and accidents in our sport come from nonprofessionalism, from ignorance or neglect by elementary standards of safety, from irrational motivation, from revaluation of own forces and opportunities. All these prerequisites we COMPLETELY EXCLUDE in our work - ours Rock-climbing, Ice climbing and Mountaineering are based on one Principle - the Safety Priority.

The Safety priority - the main credo of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb.
AlexClimb Rule #2 - Leave No Trace
Closely interacting with Nature, working with the active programs in mountains, woods, lakes and rivers, we perfectly understand the importance of carefull and respectfull bahavior towards the Nature, for its resources. From the very beginning of our outdoor-activity we adopted rules of Leave No Trace technique - the standard of behavior of the person accepted in all the civilized world in relation to environment and especially - to the wild nature. After all on the relation of people to the nature near which they exist, itself can draw dalekoidushchy conclusions on the relation of these people to... Where and as we didn't travel - we don't reserve any garbage, we try to reduce whenever possible our influence on environment to a minimum. We clear earlier zagryazyonny tourist parking of the left garbage, we take out and we take out to utilization places that to us other people left there. We consider that only thus, at personal individual consciousness of each citizen, each tourist, climber or autotraveller, we will be able to keep the nature surrounding us in its state, natural, suitable for life, - in it pledge of the healthy future for ourselves and our children.
