7 DAYS SKI TOUR IN SVANETI
Tours
Overview
Our tours are based in Mestia, center of Svaneti, and each day brings new
adventures through stunning villages, glaciers, and breathtaking mountain views. Most routes lead you beneath the towering giants of the Caucasus so close you can almost touch them as you carve your way down. At the end of each exhilarating day, transportation will be ready to bring you back to Mestia.
A highlight of our 7-day tour is Ushguli, located at an altitude of 2,100 meters at the foot of Mount Shkhara. Its ancient towers and architecture are surrounded by endless powder snow, making it a haven for ski tourers. Ushguli features prominently on our tour, with two full days dedicated to exploring this powder-filled paradise.
We combine the beauty of the incredible Svaneti landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site,with experience that best reflects the style of the area.. And our passionate, expert guides not only hail from and live in the region, but hold the highest international GMGA/IFMGA certifications, and love sharing insights that extend beyond what other companies offer.
