Highlights

 
  • Enjoy ski touring in a fantastic destination in Georgia.
  • Discover the natural wonders and dreamy landscapes in Svaneti.
 

Join me on this 11-day ski tour and enjoy a unique experience in the snowy peaks of Svaneti, a beautiful destination in  Georgia.

Svaneti (also called Svanetia) is an ancient region in the northwestern part of Georgia. Located in the heart of the Caucasus, it is surrounded by the highest peaks of this mountain range, between 3000 and 5000 meters. In fact, the highest mountain in Georgia lies there: Mount Shkhara (5201 m).

Huge mountains, coniferous forests, eternal snows and glaciers are part of the dreamy landscape of Svaneti, which is considered one of the most beautiful places in the country. Besides the natural attractions, the region is also known for its historical stone villages.

Above all that, in the past few years Svaneti has become a very attractive spot for winter sport lovers.

During this trip, we will visit the small village of Becho, the town of Mestia and a community of villages called Ushguli. Each day, we will travel to different mountains in the region, up to 3000m. Therefore, I can assure you there will be a lot of skiing and fun!

If you want more information about this trip, you can find the complete itinerary for this Svaneti skiing tour below.

Please contact me if you want to be a part of this Svaneti skiing tour next winter. I’m a local GMGA certified guide who will be glad to show you the best spots of this outstanding region of Georgia.

If I’m not available to guide you, one of my 3 teammates, all of them GMGA mountain guides, will be happy to do so.
