<<Ananuri

The resort offers high quality skiing opportunities. The slopes of Gudauri are completely above the tree line and are best for free-riders and are generally considered to be avalanche-safe. The ski season lasts from December to April. Heliskiing is also available throughout the season. It provides skiers with access to some of the finest powder-snow in the Caucasus. The helicopters drop clients off on mountain tops, glaciers, fabulous ridges, and in the hands of highly experienced guides.

Speed riding and paragliding

Gudauri is one of the best places in Georgia for speedriding and paragliding. If you are a beginner than you can do it  with experienced instructors.

Kazbegi

Kazbegi National Park is located on the northern slopes of the mighty Caucasus range. At 5,047 metres above sea level, Kazbegi Mountain is the third highest mountain in Georgia, and is surrounded by myths and religious tradition.

According to Greek mythology, as punishment for teaching mankind how to make fire, the Titan Prometheus was chained to a mountainside in the Caucasus for all eternity. According to Georgian stories, it was the icy slopes of Kazbegi to which he was chained. Prometheus (known as Amirani in Georgia) was supposedly imprisoned in a cave 4,000 meters high. The cave, now called Betlemi (Bethlehem), later served as a dwelling for orthodox monks, and is said to have contained many sacred relics, including Abraham’s tent and Christ’s manger.

Covered with 135 square kilometres of glacier, Kazbegi is a great place for ice climbing and mountaineering.

It is one of the most incredible roads in the world: 1,000m high cliff faces, medieval watchtowers, waterfalls.

The steep valleys either side of the gorge are great places for bird watching.

The town of Stepantsminda (also called Kazbegi) itself is charming and a wonderful base camp for exploring the region further. There are many guesthouses where locals are happy to treat you like family.

The Gergeti Trinity Church

 This architectural complex from the XIV century is located, 6 km from Kazbegi, at a height of 2200 m. The complex includes Holy Trinity Cathedral, constructed in the XIV century, the bell tower built in the XIV century, and clergy houses from the XV century. 

Gveleti Waterfall
The waterfall is located in the village of Gveleti, 7 km from the town of Stepantsminda. You must first drive through the stunning Dariali Gorge, from which a short, leisurely hike up a narrow footpath leads the way to the Gveleti waterfall. Gveleti means “place of snakes” in Georgian, so keep an eye out for local wildlife!
