Description

Come join one of our team guides on this Greater Caucasus heliboarding 3-day tour to discover an incredibly beautiful and wild terrain.

The Greater Caucasus, also known as Caucasus Major, is the biggest mountain range of the Caucasus Mountains. It stretches for 1200 kilometres through the countries of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Russia, connecting the Black Sea with the Caspian Sea. And it’s considered the boundary between Eastern Europe and Western Asia.

And we’ll be based in Gudauri (2196 m), a ski resort town in the north east of Georgia, which lies only 120 kms north of Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital city and where the international airport is located.

From here we’ll fly every day to the surroundings of Mount Kazbek (5047 m), where snowboarders and skiers will enjoy more than 2000 square kilometres of amazing slopes full of tower peaks, huge alpine bowls and deep valleys.

There are riding and skiing options for every level and expectations. Some landings are over 3000 m and the highest is at 4200 m. But if the weather conditions don’t allows us to go as high, there are many other lower slopes with great runs.

So please send us a request if you want to try this 3-day heliboarding adventure in the Greater Caucasus! We’re eager to guide you up to these amazing slopes with awesome powder!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
