A unified ski pass has united the ski resorts of Veduchi in Chechnya, Elbrus in Kabardino-Balkaria, and Mamison in North Ossetia.
On March 13, the Kavkaz.RF Corporation launched a unified ski pass for three ski resorts in the North Caucasus: Veduchi in Chechnya, Elbrus in Kabardino-Balkaria, and Mamison in North Ossetia.
According to the corporation's press service, sales of unified ski passes will continue until the end of winter season, approximately July. A single ticket entitles tourists to three days of skiing at each resort, as well as one additional cable car ride at any resort until the end of May, on any day.
The press service noted that with the unified ski pass, tourists can decide for themselves which resorts to visit first. Its introduction is also aimed at increasing the attractiveness of the region, where resorts previously operated independently. Moreover, the resorts share a common payment system infrastructure, implemented back in 2018.
In November 2021, the Unified Institute for Development of the North Caucasus Federal District, created on the basis of JSC North Caucasus Resorts, was renamed JSC "Kavkaz RF." The new corporation's responsibilities include managing a tourism and recreational special economic zone and developing tourism potential in the domestic and global markets, according to the company's website.
As a reminder, the Veduchi mountain resort opened in late January 2018. Due to insufficient snow cover, Chechen authorities organized a large-scale snow delivery to the resort. According to authorities, approximately 17,000 tourists visited the resort in the first three months, but local residents questioned these figures. The resort's attendance figures also appeared questionable in 2019, when, according to Chechen authorities, more than a thousand tourists visited it in the first six days.
In 2022, according to the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, tourist flow to Veduchi increased by 25%.
According to authorities, two million tourists visited the resorts of Kabardino-Balkaria, primarily Elbrus, in 2025, with tourist flow increasing by 13.7%.
