Lemel Snowshoeing Tour

Duration: all day

Start from: Mestia

Trail from: Mazeri

As close as you can get to Ushba without climbing! A rather long, medium difficulty trail with elevation gain from 600 to 700 m.  To arrive at the smooth slopes of Lemel right under the rocks of Ushba, you need to follow a forest road from Mazeri which goes deeper into Guli valley first, and then starts going uphill.  After you arrive in the alpine zone and have a picnic, you can decide how far up you want to go. Keep closer to the right-hand side where the ridge is: this is safer in terms of avalanches and also gives you great views of Guli and its deserted settlement.

We will need to take you to the beginning of the trail and back to Mestia by car.
