Caucasian Adventure Or Freeride in Gudauri 27.01 – 04.02.2017 Skiing

Caucasian adventure or freeride in Gudauri 27.01 – 04.02.2017

Gudauri is one of the best places for freeride and heli-skiing in the world. Located where Asia and Europe meet, the centre is a combination of wilderness of the Caucasus and modern and fully operative infrastructure for skiers. Wherever you look, the whiteness of the mountains is breath-taking offering countless opportunities for free riders. The resort is set over 2000 m above sea level, i.e. well above the tree line, and in the proximity of The Black Sea, which guarantees frequent supplies of fresh snow. However, skiers do not live on snow alone, and Georgia has definitely far more to offer than fine snow and fabulous mountains. Georgia can be a culinary adventure of a thousand of fragrances and flavours. Georgia boasts its own quality wine and unmatched hospitality of local inhabitants who are willing to tell stories about their people and their beloved country. The capital city of Tbilisi is a gem in itself luring intrepid travellers with charming spots set amidst the modern urban space.

Skiing programme During our trip we are going to spend 5 days skiing or snowboarding in Gudauri. There are two options to choose from. You can either enjoy the Gudauri slopes for 5 days; or spend 1 day on the slopes to warm up and use the remaining 4 days on off-piste riding accompanied by the best local guides. Most off-piste riding entails mostly using the available lifts and sometimes a bit of walking, but there is no need to have the ski-touring equipment. If you desire even more than that, we have additional attractions on offer (for an extra charge):  Ski-touring trips to Lomisa Monastery or Mount Dedaen (ski-touring gear required)  Heli-skiing  A 2-day skiing trip with a night spent in an igloo

There are also many other snow related attractions to choose from such as paragliding over the ski resort or snowmobile rides. The skiing programme may require minor modifications due to weather and snow conditions. Everyone wishing to explore the backcountry must be equipped with avalanche safety gear (transceiver, snow shovel and probe)
