Mestia – Mazeri – Ushba glacier

Length: 49 km

Difficulty: difficult

Season: June – October

Overnight: Mazeri

Pick-up: Mazeri

For those who are strong in body and spirit, have trekking experience and want to get as close to Ushba as you can without gear. On day one you cross Guli pass with a south-western view of Ushba, while on day two you get to see the north-western side, Ushba’s “back” for Svaneti. Long distances and considerable elevation changes, be prepared!
