Snowboard & ski camp in Svaneti
Five days to open the ski season in the heart of the Caucasus: Svaneti. Lots of riding, authentic Georgian food and the sights of one of the most untouched regions of the Caucasus.

Early in the morning we set off for Mestia, the capital of Svaneti. On arrival we check in, have dinner and rest.

Days 2–4
We head for the slopes first thing! Beginners get lessons, experienced riders carve. We explore the pistes: two ski resorts and plenty of freeride lines. If you get tired of riding, you can visit the Mikheil Khergiani and Svaneti ethnographic museums, go horse riding or join a Svan cooking class. In the evenings: a hot-tub banya and barbecue.

FAQ
I have never stood on a snowboard. Is that a problem?
Not at all, the instructor will teach you everything! We work with a chain of rental shops and can get gear in your size at a good price on request.
What does a day on the mountain look like?
On riding days we head to the slope after breakfast, around 9–10 am. We ride until 5–6 pm, with a lunch break at a restaurant from 12 to 1 pm. After riding there is free time, dinner and local activities.
What if skiing turns out not to be for me?
Svaneti has plenty to do: horse riding, ATVs and snowmobiles, viewpoints over the Caucasus range and the banya.
