Description

Mount Ushba is one of the greatest mountains in the world, one of the legends of the Caucasus. Located in northwestern Georgia, it was the first mountain outside the Alps to be compared with the Matterhorn.

Climbing Mount Ushba is not easy. At 4,710 m (15,450 ft) it is high, but also, it has a very steep profile and the weather is unpredictable. Therefore, it is reserved for experienced and well-prepared climbers. A certified mountain guide is a must for this climb.

Of course, the rewards of climbing Mount Ushba are many. The view from the top is outstanding. Additionally, you will get a unique sense of accomplishment from climbing this challenging mountain, and discover the unique landscapes and people of the Caucasus.

This program has a 12-day duration. You can find an outline below, although we can adapt it to suit your preferences and needs. I look forward to guiding you on an unforgettable climb!

Please contact me if you are interested in trying the ascent of Mount Ushba. Let’s plan a great adventure together!

I also lead a program to the top of Mount Elbrus. Check it out!

We loved our experience at Mt Elbrus with our Guide Denis. He was an awesome Guide very knowledgable and skilled. We would use him again. We were greatful for his translation as English was not spoken by many! Mt Elbrus was an amazing place. All lift passes and accommodation excellent. Food was really good. Training days on the mountain was a wonderful experience and my partner made it to the summit with Denis. Sadly I did not but will plan another trip to attempt it myself. I would recommend Denis to anyone wanting to climb Mt Elbrus. Great guy and Guide! Thank you for putting us in touch with him and helping arrange a well organised trip. Very happy customer experience all round!
