Overview
Five days that climb a staircase: two resort days at Hatsvali and Tetnuldi, two days of guided freeride, and then the first skin track — a jeep to the day's best snow, then 1,000 to 1,500 vertical metres of skinning, transceivers included, no lift and no pass. The touring day is written as a first taste, and it comes after four days of riding for a reason.
As with every winter package, the logistics sit inside the price: the Svan guide daily, lift passes on the days you use lifts, the Kutaisi airport group transfer both ways, our vehicles for everything inside the region, and full board in Mestia. Six people, one guide, one car — that is the arithmetic behind the per-person figure.
Classic or Signature
Classic
€1,260
Family guesthouse, simple room, full board.
Signature
€2,201
Signature keeps one guided freeride day and re-arms the rest: cat-skiing on Tetnuldi Alpine replaces the second freeride day, and the ski touring finale becomes a one-drop heliskiing day on an untouched face, with premium guesthouses all five nights. Choose Classic to try earning your snow on skins; choose Signature to have it delivered.

Day by day
Day 1 · Hatsvali resort
Warm-up day on the Zuruldi ridge: short lifts, forest runs, the guide reads your level.
Day 2 · Tetnuldi resort
The big alpine mountain: long open runs to 3,160 m with views to Ushba and Tetnuldi.
Day 3 · Guided freeride
Off-piste inside the Tetnuldi and Hatsvali zones. The guide picks the lines and watches avalanche safety.
Day 4 · Guided freeride

Signature: Cat skiing, Tetnuldi Alpine — A PistenBully 600 provides access to Tetnuldi terrain. The upper-area planning reference is 6–7 runs of 500–600 vertical metres, subject to conditions, not a guaranteed minimum. The vehicle has capacity for up to 13 riders and two guides; package groups and vehicle capacity are different things.
Day 5 · Ski touring / splitboard
Transfer to the agreed starting point, then a guided ascent on skins and descent. Route, ascent and turnaround depend on the group and conditions. Personal avalanche equipment is not included and must be brought or rented separately.
Signature: Heliskiing - one drop — One helicopter drop on an untouched face, then a guided descent. The highlight of the trip.
