SVANETI: SKI MOUNTAINEERING AMONG THE PEAKS OF THE CAUCASO

A journey to discover Svaneti, a wild and uncontaminated region of Georgia, where snow-capped mountains and picturesque villages are the setting for an unforgettable ski mountaineering experience. A true paradise for lovers of this discipline, Svaneti offers trips suitable for every type of ski mountaineer, from short trips with limited technical commitment to real ski mountaineering with technical sections, large differences in altitude and steep and glacier terrain. Svaneti, nicknamed the "Roof of Europe", is a unique territory in the world, located in the heart of the Caucasus. Here, between peaks that exceed 5,000 meters above sea level, there are pristine valleys and stone villages that seem suspended in time, guardians of millenary traditions. In addition to ski mountaineering, this trip to the Caucasus will allow you to visit the villages of Mestia and Ushguli, characterized by ancient architecture and ancient watchtowers, and come into contact with local customs and delicious Georgian gastronomy.

Alpine guide since 1998, always passionate about travelling, skiing and climbing, horses and open spaces, sports and nature. After years of traveling around the world, he gives birth to the idea of Snowder® which, in addition to being a brand, aims to be a "way" of travelling, where the practice of a sport such as ski mountaineering becomes an excellent "excuse" to travel, a reason to discover distant lands – even better if little frequented – new people, snow and unknown landscapes.
