Description

My team of 3 IFMGA mountain guides works in the Greater Caucasus. This is the principal mountain range in Caucasus Mountains. Our base is in Gudauri, which is a renowned ski resort. In fact, it's amongst the most famous in Georgia. And it's just 120 km from the International Airport Tbilisi.

The heliski area is around Mount Kazbek (5047 m). Moreover, it extends over many subranges in Georgia. We can access 2000 square km of incredible mountain landscape. For example, there are high towering peaks, deep valleys and large alpine bowls.

There is so much to choose from in terms of terrain! The different types of runs and levels of steepness can accommodate all levels. It does not matter whether you are a first time heliskier or an expert freerider. We will find your ideal playground!

Many of the landings are over 3000 m. The highest is up to 4200 m. Or, if the weather and snow conditions in the higher areas are not suitable, we go to lower areas where we can also find excellent slopes. These runs end as low as 1200 m in the bottom of the valleys.

On average, in a 1-day program you ski or ride around 3000 vertical m. And on a several days program, the average is 4800 m per day.

I offer you here a 3-day classic package, which has an all-inclusive heliski experience. Indeed, it's an unforgettable adventure of snowboarding or powder skiing. In fact, this outstanding mountain holiday is a perfect opportunity to discover the fascinating traditions of Georgia.

Does tasting the Georgian powder snow sound interesting? Then please contact me and let's organise an unforgettable ski trip together!

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.
