3 Reasons

Small town big vibes

Mestia may be a tiny town but it’s a cultural capital of Georgia. For centuries is lay at the core of national culture, with a collection of medieval buildings, including ancient forts and churches that are listed and protected as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Today it is a fundamental tourism spot where to spring into the wintry backcountry.

Snow-filled solitude

Home among the high summits of the Caucasus Mountains, the townlet of Mestia is the perfect jumping off point to enjoy the backcountry of Georgia, home to endless slopes of possibilities. However, unlike other European hotspots, the mountainside in Georgia receives a lot less outdoor adventurers given its underrated reputation.

Spectacular Svaneti

The wildest chunk of Georgian territory is found in the Upper Svaneti region in the north of the country. Cows wandering down the paved roads of Mestia, where the high snowy summits dominate the skyline. The mountains huge the town tightly, so it doesn’t take long until you’re deep in the backcountry of Georgia, where spectacular slopes of virgin snow await.
