Catski in Svaneti
Snowcat access to off-piste terrain on Tetnuldi and Koruldi — the vertical of heliski at a fraction of the price. Guide and avalanche gear included.
Cat-ski areas
The vertical of a heli day, without the helicopter budget.
Prefer a whole week? See our multi-day ski holiday in Georgia — 7, 10 or 14 days with IFMGA guides, from €1,548 per person.
A snowcat carries the group above and beyond the lift-served terrain, then repeats the climb after each descent. On a filled cat you get a full day of guided off-piste laps for far less than a heli day, with more skiing time per euro.
We run cats on Tetnuldi's north-facing bowls and on the Koruldi ridge above Mestia. The guide sets aspect and pitch on the day's snowpack; groups carry full avalanche gear and get a morning briefing before the first lap.
Catski in Svaneti — powder without the lift lines
Cat skiing in Georgia means one thing: access to untouched powder without lifts and without the price of a helicopter. Our snowcat carries small groups up to high, snow-sure terrain around Tetnuldi and Koruldi, then shuttles you back to the top for lap after lap of fresh snow. It is the sweet spot between lift-served freeride and full heliskiing — big descents, low crowds, sensible cost.
Each catski day runs with a certified guide and full avalanche safety kit. The cat gives us reach into terrain that would take hours to skin, so you spend the day skiing rather than climbing. Groups are small, so the powder stays fresh and the vibe stays relaxed.
Catski vs heliski vs touring
Snowcat is cheaper and more weather-resilient than heli, and far less tiring than ski touring — you get the descents without the climb. If you want maximum vertical for advanced skiers, ask about heli-assisted days; if you love the uphill, tour with us instead.
Suitable for confident off-piste skiers and snowboarders. Rentals and lessons are available in Mestia if you need to gear up or build confidence first.
Frequently asked questions
How much does catski cost compared to heliski?
Snowcat skiing is significantly cheaper than heliskiing because it does not carry helicopter operating costs, while still delivering lift-free powder laps. Exact pricing depends on group size and days — contact us for a quote.
Is catski suitable for intermediate skiers?
Yes, if you are a confident off-piste skier or rider. The guide chooses terrain to match the group, so strong intermediates can join, though it is not for first-time skiers.
