Trip typeGuided Resort TourTour Package

In addition to our standard ski adventure trip in Georgia, we now offer a unique variant in western Georgia.

This exciting journey begins and end in Kutaisi. The route takes you through the ski resort of Mestia to the seaside resort of Batumi and our cat ski base in Goderdzi. It’s a varied trip with many different landscapes — we drive through temperate lowlands, alpine terrain, tea plantations, and back up toward dense pine forests. This trip truly has it all.
