Svaneti Mountain Adventure: Four Active Days from Mestia

Seven days and six nights with one base in Mestia for glacier, lake, waterfall and village outings. Four consecutive active mountain days, private road transfers and local hiking support.

7 days / 6 nights

A mountain holiday for active travellers who prefer returning to the same base each evening. After one night in Tbilisi, spend five nights in Mestia and explore Chalaadi, Koruldi, Ushguli and the Mazeri valley. This is an active programme of moderate to demanding walks, not technical mountaineering. The local qualified hiking guide leads the active days and adapts each route to weather, trail access and the group’s ability. The operating season is May–November, subject to trail, road and weather conditions.

The seven-day base ends with a long road transfer to Tbilisi airport. It is suitable only for a compatible late-evening flight after the team checks the road schedule and connection margin. Otherwise an additional Tbilisi night is quoted before confirmation. Language support, exact walking routes and meal arrangements are confirmed individually.

Request a quotation for your dates, party size and room arrangements. The final offer will specify hotels, guide language and all included services.
