A challenging and unforgettable ski touring adventure through the untouched backcountry of Svaneti, designed exclusively for advanced skiers ready to explore one of the most dramatic mountain regions of the Caucasus. Home to medieval towers, ancient Svan villages, and the mighty peaks of Ushba, Tetnuldi, and Shkhara, this expedition takes you deep into wild alpine terrain across seven unforgettable days.
Each day starts from an authentic Svan village - Etseri, Mazeri, or Ushguli - gradually ascending through forests and open bowls into the pristine high-alpine zone, with elevation gains ranging from around 850m to over 1,350m per day. Your professional mountain guide chooses the optimal daily route based on weather, snow conditions, and group strength, with routes adjusted or replaced with equally rewarding alternatives when needed.
This program is built for confident off-piste skiers who can descend safely in untracked and mixed terrain, and who carry and know how to use proper ski touring equipment, including an avalanche beacon, shovel, and probe. It's more than a ski trip - it's a full immersion into Svaneti's wild winter landscapes, its ancient culture, and the true spirit of alpine adventure.
Once you book, your trip is guaranteed to run, allowing you to book your flights with confidence.
