Timing this trip to the week immediately after cat skiing season closes is the right call. The village is deserted, the slopes untracked, and the mountains entirely yours. Ideal conditions for ski touring. Snow quality held up throughout the week — three days of excellent spring corn, two days of fresh powder. A strong week by any standard. Accommodation, hospitality and logistics were handled without fault. The team at Guest House Panorama — Giorgi, Mumuka and their staff — are attentive, warm and well-organised. The food is homemade, abundant and consistently good. Guide Akis demonstrated sound judgment in terrain selection and risk management across all conditions encountered during the week. He prioritised safety without sacrificing ambition. Exactly the standard you should expect from a UIAGM/IFMGA-certified guide. One noteworthy aspect of the experience: access to the village at 2,000m is via snowcat through the forest, striking in its own right. We also completed two cat-assisted descents mid-week, and returned to the valley by snowmobile on the final day. Unconventional logistics that added genuine character to the trip. A strong recommendation for experienced ski tourers. If timing is flexible, the post-cat-season window is the one to book.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
