“I’ve joined their tours twice: once in the summer for a hiking trip and again in the winter for a ski tour and both experiences were exceptional!! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate. They made every trip feel safe, well-organized, and unforgettable. What I loved most was seeing two completely different sides of Svaneti.”
“Our guide knew Svaneti inside and out — not just the routes, but the history and stories behind every village and tower we passed. Felt less like a tour and more like exploring with a local.”
“With your help we saw Svaneti in a completely different way. We visited places we couldn’t even find on Google. It was really amazing!”

Summer in Svaneti — hiking, trekking and mountain adventure
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.
