Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival, transfer & cultural introduction
Arrival at Tbilisi International Airport and transfer to Stepantsminda. Depending on arrival time, a short walk in the village or a visit to the Gergeti Trinity Church. Check-in at Rooms Hotel Kazbegi — a design boutique above Stepantsminda with direct Mount Kazbek views, panoramic indoor pool, and sauna for post-touring recovery.
Evening briefing and welcome dinner.
Day 2: Warm-up touring & local lines
An easier first day to find rhythm and get a feel for the terrain. Rolling slopes and small alpine clearings, plenty of looks at the surrounding peaks and glaciers.
Elevation gain: approximately 600–900 m.
Day 3: Deeper backcountry objectives
A longer day pushing further into the range. More demanding ascents, wider lines, and a first real taste of what Kazbegi's backcountry offers. The guide selects the objective based on conditions and group fitness.
Elevation gain: approximately 800–1,000 m.
Day 4: Ascent to the Deka Alpine Hut
Skin up through valleys and snowfields to the Deka Alpine Hut at approximately 3,000 m. The day moves through tree line into open alpine terrain. Overnight at the hut — a different kind of evening, high above Stepantsminda.
Day 5: High-altitude ski touring around 4,000 m
From the hut, push higher — objectives around 4,000 m depending on snow and weather. Longer ascents, big descents, real high-altitude work. Return to Stepantsminda in the evening.
Elevation gain: 1,000 m or more.
Day 6: Final Kazbegi objectives
Steeper lines and freeride terrain around Kazbegi. The guide picks the day's objective based on conditions — the right mix of technical skiing and big mountain. Last dinner in Stepantsminda.
Day 7: Departure & optional cultural time
Depending on flight time, a short morning ski or cultural walk in Stepantsminda, then transfer to Tbilisi International Airport.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
