For detail on where Bakhmaro & Adjara are located and how best to get there, see the Location tab.
Bakhmaro
Having run its first season in 2016/17, it quickly came to terms with its superb terrain, establishing a multitude of fantastic routes with up to 800m skiable vertical from a top elevation of 2,755m. Most runs are below the high summits though, having between 300 to 500m vertical per run. The terrain includes tree skiing of a Japanese quality! Depending on the group, around 10 runs are completed per day (3,000 to 5,000m vertical/day).
The once rustic lodgings utilised when the operation started at Bakhmaro are now a thing of the past. Newly built hotel-style accommodations with comfortable twin & triple rooms (plus a few doubles), each with ensuite bathrooms and balconies are now available in 'The Pioneers' lodge. A large dining/lounge area plus a sauna makes for a positively palatial setting compared to the original lodgings. 'Budget' bunk rooms with shared facilities are still available in the original buildings at a reduced rate. Despite its remote location, the sensational local food & drink has only gotten better over time and forms a major part of the whole experience.
Multiple snowcats run at Bakhmaro and places can fill very quickly during peak periods. See more information & booking here.
There are usually dates for Women Only cat-ski tours, providing exclusive use of a snowcat to all female ski groups. Exclusive use of the sauna is also arranged. For more information & booking click here.
In early December and early to mid-March the focus in Bakhmaro is snowcat assisted ski touring & splitboarding. Two tour dates are offered in both December and March. For more information and booking click here.
Adjara
From season 2019/20 a more remote cat ski operation was established in Adjara. Access is via Bakhmaro & guests are limited to 12. Accommodation is in a 'ski-out', rustic (but gorgeous) alpine hut located at 2,400m elevation. The hut has been improved markedly over successive seasons, and is now perhaps beyond 'rustic' and into the realms of cosy & comfortable. Expert skiers & snowboarders with previous backcountry experience should check it out here.
In early December and early to mid-March the focus in Adjara is snowcat assisted ski touring & splitboarding. Two tour dates are offered in both December and March. For more information and booking click here.
