Five services that make the trip work

Travel services in Svaneti — logistics, beds and gear
When the snow melts, Svaneti becomes one of the finest summer adventure destinations in the Caucasus. From roughly June to early October the high valleys open up: alpine meadows, glacier tongues, turquoise lakes and medieval villages linked by trails that have been walked for centuries. Based in Mestia, we guide the full range of Svan summer activities.
The crown jewel is the multi-day Mestia to Ushguli trek, but there is a lifetime of day hiking too — the Koruldi Lakes, Chalaadi Glacier, Adishi and Shdugra Waterfall. Beyond walking, we run horse riding, tandem paragliding, mountain biking and mountaineering.
Choosing your summer in Svaneti
Short on time? String together day hikes from Mestia. Want the classic? Commit to the four-day Mestia–Ushguli trek. Prefer the saddle to the boot? Ride to the Koruldi ridge on horseback. Every trip is guided by locals and can be tailored to your fitness and interests, with comfortable village guesthouses and full transfer support.
Round off the adventure with a Svan supra feast — a traditional Georgian table of food, wine and toasts that is an experience in itself.
