Description

Enjoy one or several days of freeride ski and/or ski touring in Gudauri or the nearby wild ski spots of the Caucasus Mountain Range.

Skiing for one or several days in Gudauri is an ideal option if you are traveling to Georgia for a short amount of time.

I will take you to the best skiing spots in Gudauri and surroundings, like Mt. Sadzele (3300 m), Mt. Chrdilebi (2800 m) and Mt. Kudebi.

The ski area of Gudauri is famous for its high slopes and also for being free of avalanches, which makes it a place safe for freeriding!

Furthermore, it has many chair lifts and a gondola so you'll get easy access to the top of the best ski runs. We can then use the skins and go further where very few people go.

If you come for several days, you can stay at one of the several well-equipped hotels and lodges in the area.

Please send me a request if this program sounds interesting to you. I will be glad to take you for an amazing ski trip in Georgia!

When sending me the request, please specify the number of days during which you would like to be guided. Please specify also if you are looking for more freeride skiing or ski touring.

If I'm not available to guide you, one of my 3 teammates, all of them GMGA mountain guides, will be happy to do so.

I also propose a 7-day ski touring program that may be a great option in case you stay a little longer. I can also arrange some heliskiing!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.
