We had the pleasure of riding with Gito from GFR during a massive storm cycle in late January 2024. Expert local knowledge, fast (literally!) & efficient ground transport, safe route selection and a no-nonsense approach made for a truly memorable experience. Expect untracked powder, lots of thrills, wonderful food, laughter and loads of après ski shenanigans.

Anyone joining a tour with GFR should be fit and leave any pretence or ‘chips on the shoulder’ at home. Bring your best relaxed attitude, plus fat ski gear or powder boards for deep snow and be prepared for the unexpected because in Mestia you are “not in Kansas anymore Toto!”. Can’t wait to go back.

We had an amazing time on our freeride trip in Mestia, Georgia. The guide took us to incredible places like Ushguli, the Chaladi Glacier, and Tetnuldi Ski Resort - all breathtaking spots with stunning landscapes and great snow conditions. The food was delicious, all traditional Georgian cuisine, and the hospitality everywhere we went was exceptional. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

გიორგი — ძალიან პროფესიონალი და კეთილგანწყობილი ადამიანი.
გვეხმარა აღჭურვილობის შერჩევაში, თავისივე ჯიპით უშგულში უსაფრთხოდ და კომფორტულად წაგვიყვანა.
მთაში გასვლამდე მოგვაწყო დეტალური ინსტრუქტაჟი უსაფრთხოების წესებზე. მთელი ასვლის განმავლობაში მის გვერდში დგომასა და მხარდაჭერას მუდმივად ვგრძნობდით.
სქი-ტური კი გვქონდა დაგეგმილი, მაგრამ ამასთან ერთად მივიღეთ ნამდვილი თავგადასავალი, შესანიშნავი ექსკურსია, მხიარული ატმოსფერო და გულწრფელი ზრუნვა.
გიდს გულითადი მადლობა ყველაფრისთვის — მომავალ წელს აუცილებლად დავბრუნდებით!
(Translation from Georgian)
Giorgi is a very professional and friendly person.
He helped us choose the equipment, took us to Ushguli safely and comfortably in his own jeep.
Before going to the mountains, he gave us a detailed briefing on safety rules. Throughout the entire climb, we constantly felt his support and support.
We had planned a ski tour, but at the same time we got a real adventure, a great excursion, a fun atmosphere and sincere care.
Thank you very much to the guide for everything — we will definitely come back next year!
