For more information on how to get to Georgia & the gateway airport of Kutaisi (KUT), see our Bakhmaro & Adjara Location page.
During the last winter season, conditions in the high alpine zone are perfect for combined cat-skiing & touring.The ski touring explore areas beyond the reach of the snowcats & up to the highest peaks in the region. Each day can include around 3 hours of time in the snowcat to get to the most interesting backcountry locations. Each night you will return to the comfort of the base in the alpine hut high on an alpine ridge. The huts's food, living space & hospitality provide a wonderful end to an adventurous day. Packages includes return airport transfers, 7 nights of accommodation in a rustic alpine hut, all meals whilst in Adjara & 6 days of fully guided cat skiing.
Snow & Terrain
The terrain includes great tree skiing and high alpine terrain between 1,800m and over 2,700m elevation in the snow laden Little Caucasus of southern Georgia. High amounts of snowfall, especially at the beginning of the season provide generally excellent conditions. Tree runs with names like "Big in Japan' indicate the quality of the ski experience here. In March during the Cat Ski & Tour programs, snow conditions can vary from deep powder to early Spring corn. Regardless of the conditions, exploring the area by snowcat & ski is definitely worth the journey. The amount of skiing done is dictated by the weather & the fitness of the group.
