Ushguli 3-day Ski Tour Package
Now this is REALLY far out into the wild! Fantastic ski tour / back-country in the highest permanently inhabited settlement in Europe, UNESCO sight Ushguli. Breathtaking views, superb snow and very few other skiers.
Experience something absolutely unique: Ushguli is Europe’s highest permanent medieval settlement at 2200 m above sea level. Located 46 km away from Mestia at the foot of the legendary Bezengi wall — the tallest section of the Great Caucasus including Georgia’s tallest summit Shkhara (5193 m).
Ushguli is Svaneti’s most remote village: the road takes 2 hours and can be tamed only by experienced local drivers and only in good weather. This is why so few skiers get there and this is why our guides will always find untouched snow in Ushguli. A great variety of ski-touring and back-country options with panoramic trails.
Accommodation in Ushguli is surprisingly comfortable: well-heated twin rooms, hot showers and hearty home-made meals.
PRICE (6-pax group):
540 EUR per person with early booking until 01.11.2023
660 EUR per person after 01.11.2023
