Our trip to Georgia was just an awesome experience. If the ski and the snow was just from another world the people, nature food and scenery came up as unexpected cherries on the cake. I highly recommend this to anyone in search of a mind blowing high level of sensations

Spent 7 days full of variety and the best casual manner of our guide in Mestia. Whatever the weather conditions, we had a great day. Whether it was touring the resort, we all had a lot of fun and motivation in the group. It felt like we were traveling with the best buddies. Many thanks to Dato & Nika, Leo and the ladies who cooked Georgian traditional meals for us every day. We'll be back! February is definitely the month for powdering, we'll check out April to go higher and steeper. Madlova!

Fun week in Mestia

Really good week of skiing with in amazing mountains. Even though there had not been new snow for 2 weeks the guides found untracked 30/40cm of snow on northern slopes. They had very good understand of their local terrain and mountain conditions. The guide we had for the first 2 days was a little hard to communicate with in English. The guide we had for the rest of the trip, David, was excellent and very fun to ski with.

The guesthouse we stayed at was simple and clean and provide really good food.

Highly recommend and definitely a place to go ski.

The best ski holiday I’ve been on yet. Niko was exceptional. We had daily briefings where we were able to plan the next day. Snow was amazing. Guides were very good.

Svaneti Freeride February 2025

4 friends and I spent a week in Mestia, Svaneti, Georgia at the beginning of February. The trip was fully organized by Nika Gelashvili of Freeride Tours Georgia. Nika’s organization was impeccable, always planning each day with the goal of giving us the best freeride/skitouring experiences, as well as fun leisure activities. We were guided each day by Dato Tamliani, a local mountain guide with avalanche rescue experience. We highly recommend him if you are looking for the best powder runs in the area, while keeping safety a priority. We got sunny weather and despite the lack of recent snowfalls (last recorded one was about two weeks before our arrival) the snow was light powder in many north faces. The Svaneti region is just breathtaking and not yet reached by mass tourism. I would 100% go back!

An Unforgettable Skiing Experience in Mestia

André Castilla

Skiing in Mestia is not your average ski trip—it’s a mind-blowing adventure that combines high-altitude powder skiing with over ten centuries of rich history, vibrant culture, and incredible food and wine, all set in the breathtaking rural village of Upper Svaneti.

This unforgettable experience was made possible thanks to Georgia Freeride Tours, which provided us with a full-service package. From shuttle transfers to and from Tbilisi, accommodation, lift tickets, and transportation to ski areas, to guided off-piste skiing, a local cultural tour, and delicious daily breakfasts and dinners—everything was seamlessly organized.

Nika, the owner, is a passionate skier and certified guide who goes above and beyond to ensure every guest has the best possible experience. His expertise and dedication to assistance, safety, and fun truly set this trip apart.

The accommodations were well-maintained and cozy, but what stood out the most was the food. Served in a warm, family-style atmosphere, both breakfast and dinner featured delicious, fresh local cuisine that fueled us perfectly for long days on the slopes.

Skiing in Mestia is all about backcountry and off-piste adventures. The limited groomed runs serve as a great warm-up before diving into waist-deep powder. Whether it’s lift-accessed freeriding, ski touring, cat skiing, or heli-skiing, Upper Svaneti is a true freeride paradise, still in its early stages of becoming a world-class ski destination.

It’s absolutely worth crossing hemispheres to experience skiing here. No wonder the Freeride World Tour includes Tetnuldi Ski Resort on its circuit. Beyond the incredible powder skiing, Mestia offers a full cultural and touristic experience, blending history, food, music, and local traditions into an unforgettable journey.

Nika at Georgian Freeride Tours goes above and beyond to deliver an exception tour in an incredible region.

With his network of local guides and intricate local knowledge, he made sure we were in the right place everyday to score the best fresh lines. His excellent daily briefings kept the energy levels high and made group well informed on the conditions, approaches etc - not to be missed...
