Mountain biking in Svaneti

Svaneti's dirt roads, village tracks and mountain trails make superb terrain for mountain biking. We guide MTB and e-bike rides around Mestia — rolling valley routes past tower-villages, bigger climbs to high viewpoints, and descents with the Caucasus as a backdrop. Routes suit a range of abilities, and e-bikes help level the steep Svan gradients.

Riding with a local guide means the best trails, safe line choices and the freedom to stop for the region's history and views. We handle logistics and can combine biking with other summer activities.

Bring or rent a suitable bike; helmets required. Fitness needed depends on the route — we tailor distance and climbing to your group. Summer season, roughly June to October.
