Koruldi Catski

The Koruldi ridge rises straight above Mestia to open, view-heavy terrain. A snowcat laps it all day — untracked snow, short drive, and the Ushba skyline throughout. From €150 per person.

Overview

Ridge terrain and big views, minutes from town.

Koruldi is the ridgeline hikers know for its summer lakes; in winter the snowcat turns it into a freeride playground close to Mestia. Runs are open and moderate, good for skiers stepping up to cat-accessed off-piste.

The short approach means more skiing time. As on Tetnuldi, the guide sets aspect and pitch to the snowpack, groups carry avalanche gear, and a filled cat brings the price to €150 per person.

Catski on the Koruldi ridge

The Koruldi ridge rises straight above Mestia and delivers some of the most scenic snowcat skiing in Svaneti. In summer the Koruldi Lakes are a hiking classic; in winter the same high ridgeline offers open powder slopes with a direct view of Mount Ushba's twin summits. Our snowcat gains the ridge and laps the fresh snow beneath it.

It is a shorter transfer than Tetnuldi — you are skiing terrain visible from town — which makes for relaxed, flexible days. Confident off-piste skiers and riders will find playful, panoramic descents in a truly Svan setting.

Koruldi in winter

Cold, wind-affected snow up high and sheltered powder in the folds of the ridge; your guide reads the aspects to find the best turns. Pair it with Tetnuldi catski for bigger vertical.
