The place
Snowcat laps on the region’s biggest freeride mountain.
The cat climbs above and beyond the top lift, dropping the group at the day’s best aspect and repeating the lift after each run. Expect several long descents on cold, north-facing snow with a guide setting terrain to conditions.
Filled cats carry up to about 12 skiers. Smaller groups can charter a private cat. All riders carry avalanche gear and get a morning briefing.

Snowcat skiing at Tetnuldi
Tetnuldi's high, open terrain is ideal for catski. Our snowcat pushes beyond the top lift into wide powder bowls and long fall-line descents beneath Mount Tetnuldi, then loops you back for repeat laps. Because the aspect is north and the elevation high, the snow stays cold and light — perfect for stacking up untracked runs.
A day here combines the reliability of Tetnuldi's snow with the reach of the cat, opening terrain that lift skiers never touch. It is a superb option for confident off-piste groups who want volume of vertical without the effort of skinning.
Why catski Tetnuldi
More powder per day, fewer people, and a guide who knows exactly where the snow sits after each storm. Combine with Koruldi catski or lift-served Tetnuldi freeride for variety.
Frequently asked questions
How many runs do you get on a catski day at Tetnuldi?
It depends on conditions and group speed, but the snowcat lets you lap fresh terrain repeatedly through the day — far more untracked vertical than you would climb on skins.
Do I need touring gear for catski?
No. The snowcat does the climbing, so you can ride normal freeride skis or a powder board. We provide avalanche safety equipment.
