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 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
For skiers who want every kind of Svaneti winter in one week, including a quiet day.
Day by day
Warm-up day on the Zuruldi ridge: short lifts, forest runs, the guide reads your level.
The big alpine mountain: long open runs to 3,160 m with views to Ushba and Tetnuldi.
Off-piste inside the Tetnuldi and Hatsvali zones. The guide picks the lines and watches avalanche safety.

Questions we hear before this trip
When can this trip run?
From 20 December to the end of April — and dates inside the season are flexible.
What 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.
I am coming alone — is that a problem?
No. A single traveller can join a departure that is already forming.
Why 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.
What is included, and what is not?
