SKI TOUR EXPEDITION

Customise your ski tour expedition. You can choose either an itinerary discovering  everyday a different valley and riding through different regions from Khevi to Svaneti and Racha or settle down in Svaneti or Khevi and explore the region.

Svaneti is a historic province of Georgia, in the northwestern part of the country. It is inhabited by the Svans, an ethnic subgroup of Georgians. Situated on the southern slopes of the central Caucasus Mountains, the region is surrounded by 3,000–5,000 meter peaks. The region is notable for its glaciers and picturesque summits. Svaneti’s signature peak is probably Mount Ushba which towers over the Inguri Gorge and can be seen from many parts of the region. The quantity of snow is important in that region which offers a high number of wild, untouched slopes in magical landscapes. The famous Svanetian tower houses erected mainly in the 9th-12th centuries are still maintained. In the province are dozens of Georgian orthodox churches and various fortified buildings. Their language belongs to the Georgian branch of the Caucasian languages but is very different so that a Kakh (person from Kakheti region) can not understand the Megrelian or Svan language.

Khevi is located on the military road and close to famous Mount Kazabeg. The region offers incredible day ski tour from Lomisa to Deda Ena, Truso Gorge and Sioni valley without forgetting the first part of the Kazbeg slopes.
