A journey to discover Svaneti, a wild and pristine region of Georgia, where snow-capped mountains and picturesque villages frame an unforgettable ski mountaineering experience. A true paradise for lovers of this discipline, Svaneti offers opportunities suitable for every type of ski mountaineer, from short trips with limited technical commitment to true ski mountaineering routes with technical sections, large elevation gains, steep terrain, and glaciers.
Svaneti is a unique territory in the world, located in the heart of the Caucasus. Here, among peaks exceeding 5,000 meters in altitude, lie pristine valleys and stone villages that seem suspended in time, guardians of ancient traditions.
In addition to ski mountaineering, this trip to the Caucasus will allow you to visit the villages of Mestia and Ushguli, characterized by architecture from another era and ancient watchtowers, as well as to get in touch with local customs and delicious Georgian cuisine.

UIAGM Guide
Mountain Guide since '98, always passionate about travel, skiing and climbing, horses and wide open spaces, sports and nature. After years of traveling the world, he came up with the idea of Snowder® which, beyond being a brand, is a "way" of traveling, where practicing a sport like ski touring becomes an excellent "excuse" to hit the road, a reason to discover distant lands – even better if off the beaten path – new people, unknown snow and landscapes.
