1+ day ice climbing in Gveleti Waterfall, Georgia

Situated in the stunning Dariali Gorge, at the heart of the Caucasus Mountains, Gveleti Waterfall is Georgia’s premier – in fact it’s only – ice climbing destination.

Just seven kilometers away from the idyllic mountain village of Stepantsminda,  the 60-meter tall waterfall boasts several incredible climbing spots. During the winter, Gveleti is quite popular for all sorts of trad climbing.

After meeting up either in Tbilsi or Stepantsminda we’ll drive to the trailhead and make the 20 to 40 minute hiking approach through the gorgeous mountain scenery.

Once we arrive at the falls, we’ll have a few options in front of us. For novice ice climbers, we can head up two easier routes just next to the waterfall. These are perfect for getting the hang of ice climbing.

For more intermediate ice climbers, we’ll conquer the waterfall itself. The climbing is thrilling and just challenging enough to keep you occupied for the day before getting the great views from the top.

After we’ve had our fill of climbing, we’ll hike back down to the trailhead and drive back to Tbilsi. Or, if you want to head back and climb again the next day, we can arrange to extend the trip. It’s up to you!

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this incredible 1+ day ice climbing experience up the majestic Gveleti Waterfall in Georgia’s stunning Caucasus Range.
