Fly over the medieval lands of Mestia and live a unique heliskiing adventure in the deep northwest of Georgia.
At about 1500 meters high, in the Caucasus Mountains, you will find this inaccessible but powerful Georgian town. From the heart of Mestia you can start a trek to the glaciers located at the base of Mount Ushba, or explore pristine alpine meadows on horseback. But the novelty is in its new ski resorts, which attract the attention of fans of winter sports, especially those who seek remote places to ski. Take a helicopter flight, conquer the high, virgin and wild lands of Mestia, and descend through its perfect powder runs, only seen in this Eurasian region.

Kelley
My group spent 6 days of skiing in late March. We skied Tetnuldi resort, went cat skiiing, heli skiing, and touring in Ushguli. Nika and Dato were great guides, very safe, professional, and fun to ski with. The snow was amazing, same with the food and the culture. I would highly recommend this trip and can’t wait to come back.

We've been visting Georgia in March and we had the best trip you can possibly wish for. Literally everything from the beginning to the end was taken care of by the Guides. Great choice of areas and tours for all conditions we had. From challenging couloirs to deep powder pockets we got all we could wish for in a week! It's wild out there but we would come back anytime!
