Get around Nalchik
The republic of Kabarino Balkarya offers some of Russia's most dramatic scenery. It sits right in the middle of the Greater Caucasus mountain chain and hosts the mighty Elbrus (Europe's highest mountain with 5600m) as well as 8 other 5000 m peaks. This is mountaineering at its best.
On the other hand, Nalchik city in itself does not have that much to offer. It is a nice and friendly town and a convenient base to explore the region. Safe, green and restful, Nalchik is certainly the town of choice for a stopover if you happen to be in the North Caucasus. In other words, It is worth a detour but, by itself, does not justify a trip from West Europe or from Moscow.
There are four large supermarkets and you will find absolutely any product you need in Nalchik.
Very, very few people speak English or other West European languages in Nalchik. A basic understanding of Russian is highly helpful.
