Tebulosmta[a] is the highest mountain of the Eastern Caucasus and the highest mountain of the Chechen Republic at an elevation of 4,493 meters (14,737 feet) above sea level. The mountain is located on the border of Georgia and Chechnya to the east of Mount Kazbek. The glaciers of the mountain are not large (the total combined area of all of the mountain's glaciers is 3 square kilometers).

The name Tebulosmta shares a common origin and association with the highland Chechen village of Tebula, which is in proximity to the peak.[2][3]

The first ski descent of Tebulosmta was completed in May 2025 by an international team of skiers from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc including Tom Grant, Aaron Rolph and Bine Žalohar. They accessed the mountain self-supported from the Georgian village of Khonischala, before climbing and skiing the northwest face.[4][_better source needed_]
