CaucasTours is committed to providing tours that don’t just showcase Georgia’s breathtaking scenery but also immerse travelers in its rich cultural heritage.

Popular New Packages Include:

These tours not only offer incredible outdoor experiences but also give participants a taste of Georgian hospitality, which is at the heart of what makes these adventures so special. Whether staying in cozy guesthouses or sampling traditional Georgian dishes, travelers get a deep sense of the local culture.
The Svaneti Skitouring Experience
Perhaps the most enticing addition to the roster this season is the Skitouring adventure in Svaneti. This program has quickly become a favorite among international travelers and offers one of the best opportunities to experience the Caucasus Mountains’ famous backcountry terrain. Skitouring allows skiers to ascend mountains before skiing down untouched powder slopes, providing an unforgettable experience for those craving a true wilderness challenge.
This customizable tour lets participants choose the duration of their trip, with options ranging from 3 days to a week or even two weeks. During the tour, travelers can expect daily physical activity for 6 to 8 hours, with vertical ascents between 900 to 1,200 meters. What sets the Svaneti skitouring experience apart is its blend of high-altitude adventure and immersion in the local culture.
Guests will stay in local guesthouses where they can enjoy traditional Svanetian cuisine and learn about the unique way of life in one of Georgia’s most picturesque regions. After a long day of skiing or snowshoeing through the wild landscapes, there’s nothing better than sitting down to a warm meal with newfound friends, swapping stories of the day’s adventures.

Travelers can rest assured that their trip will have a positive impact on the areas they visit. Local guides, who know the terrain like the back of their hands, provide valuable insights into the natural surroundings, while guests’ stays in family-run guesthouses support local communities directly.
Through these carefully planned itineraries, CaucasTours is not only showcasing the beauty of Georgia but also helping preserve its natural and cultural treasures for future generations of travelers.
