Overview
Two weeks of winter Svaneti: the resorts, five days of guided freeride, three days of ski touring, winter Ushguli under snow, a snowshoe day, a snowmobile day into the upper valleys where skis do not reach, and a guided farewell morning at the end. Ten mountain days out of fourteen, with real pauses set between the blocks.
Fourteen days is for skiers treating Svaneti as the destination rather than a stop. The package price includes the Svan guide every day, lift passes on the days you ride lifts, the group transfer from Kutaisi airport and back, all travel inside the region in our own vehicles, and a room in Mestia with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Six people, one guide, one car.
Classic or Signature
Classic
€3,151
Family guesthouse, simple room, full board.
Signature
€4,731
Signature runs the same two weeks with more horsepower: a cat-skiing day on Tetnuldi Alpine, a one-drop heliskiing day on an untouched face, and the snowshoe day traded for a second snowmobile day — Classic already carries one. Signature guesthouses every night. Winter Ushguli, the resorts and the farewell morning hold their places in both versions.

FAQ
Good to know
01When can a two-week trip run?+
Anywhere inside the winter season — 20 December to the end of April. Dates are flexible.
02What is the group size?+
Six people, one guide, one car — that arithmetic is the per-person price. A group larger than six is split by activity — for example, part of the group on the snowcat while the rest ski-tour, swapping the next day — and each sub-group is priced by its own rule.
03Can I join on my own?+
Yes — a single traveller can join a departure that is already forming.
04Is there any rest in two weeks?+
Yes, by design. Winter Ushguli, the snowshoe day, the snowmobile day into the upper valleys and the farewell morning all sit between the freeride and touring blocks — days that keep you in the mountains without asking your legs for more vertical.
05What is included, and what is not?+
Included: a local guide, local programme transport, lift passes when used, the Kutaisi group airport transfer, accommodation and breakfast, lunch and dinner on programme days. Personal avalanche equipment is rented separately. International flights, insurance, single-room supplements and extras not named in your chosen programme are excluded. Confirm meal and accommodation arrangements on arrival and departure days in your quote.
06Is avalanche equipment included?+
Personal avalanche equipment is not included; arrange rental separately before arrival.
