Despite a recent influx of capital, there's still an antiquated lift infrastructure and a very frontier feel to Cheget. Ticket prices for the three chairs and two drag lifts and ludicrously low for hard currency holderrs, who can also afford to queue jump. All runs are marked and prepared by snow groomers. There are several hotels in Prielbrusye as well as and two 'tourist camps' and mountain huts. The three star Hotel Cheget has 8 floors, with 307 hotel beds.
Rooms have shower, toilet, satellite TV radio, and fridge.
The Cheget cable car base station is nearby. There's also a small market of local Caucasian traders on site.
