Overview
Six days, four kinds of winter: the two resorts, guided freeride in their off-piste zones, a ski touring day with the jeep approach and the skins, and a snowshoe day through forests, frozen meadows and Svan villages — a gentle day that suits any level, placed at the end of the week where your legs will want it.
The package price carries the guide each day, lift passes on lift days, the group transfer from Kutaisi airport and back, all driving inside the region in our own cars, and a room in Mestia with breakfast, lunch and dinner. We keep groups at six with one guide and one vehicle — that is the arithmetic under the per-person price.
Classic or Signature
Classic
€1,449
Family guesthouse, simple room, full board.
Signature
€2,500
Signature trades the gentler half for horsepower: the second freeride day becomes cat-skiing on Tetnuldi Alpine, the snowshoe day becomes a one-drop heliskiing finale, and the guesthouses move to premium. The ski touring day survives in both versions. Classic ends the week softly; Signature ends it loud.

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
Off-piste inside the Tetnuldi and Hatsvali zones. The guide picks the lines and watches avalanche safety.
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.
Day 6 · Snowshoeing
Forests, frozen meadows and Svan villages on snowshoes. A gentle day that suits any level.
Signature: Heliskiing - one drop — One helicopter drop on an untouched face, then a guided descent. The highlight of the trip.

FAQ
Good to know
01When can this trip run?+
From 20 December to the end of April — and dates inside the season 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, each sub-group priced by its own rule.
03I am coming alone — is that a problem?+
No. A single traveller can join a departure that is already forming.
04Why is there a snowshoe day?+
Because six straight days of skiing is a plan your legs will veto. The snowshoe day crosses forests, frozen meadows and Svan villages, suits any level, and sits at the end of the week where it belongs. In the Signature version that day becomes the heliskiing day instead.
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.
