BACKCOUNTRY SKIING IN GEORGIA
GUIDED SKI TOURING AND SPLITBOARDING TRIPS
Nestled in the high Caucasus Mountains, Svaneti, Georgia is one of Europe’s most remote and magical ski touring destinations. With its rugged peaks, deep valleys, medieval Svan stone towers, and untouched terrain, this region is a dream for advanced ski tourers and splitboarders. The village of Mestia serves as the gateway to Svaneti’s backcountry, offering direct access to some of the area’s best terrain and cultural highlights.
The prime ski touring season in Svaneti runs January through March, offering cold temps, consistent snowfall, and excellent powder quality throughout the Greater Caucasus.
If you’re looking for something different—a destination that blends big mountains, genuine culture, and real adventure—Georgia delivers.
