Our partner started to work on the Russian market during the "Perestroyka", in the beginning of 90-s. But before (since 1980) the owner worked in IMC (International Mountain Camps). It was a branch of the Sport committee of USSR. They organized a service for International tourists and climbers in the mountains of USSR every year. Our partner organized tours for more than 16000 climbers and they select the hotels and mountain huts for clients very carefully and laboriously, because not all hotels in Caucasus correspond to European standards of 2,3,4 stars hotels.
