Mount Kazbek is the most famous mountain in Georgia. On this 6-day Kazbek summit tour, I will show you the way to the top and you will have the chance to find out why this Caucasus stunner has such an excellent reputation!
Although anyone can climb to the 5052-meter-high Kazbek summit, going with a certified guide is a must. The classic route is not technically difficult, but it is long and dangerous for those with no mountaineering experience. On this 6-day climb, you will be able to achieve this summit safely and enjoy a unique experience in the Caucasus.
The itinerary we will follow starts and ends in Stepantsminda and contemplates an extra day in case of bad weather. You can find a detailed itinerary below. There will be 1 guide every 1-3 participants, if your party is larger, I will call another guide to join us.
If climbing Kazbek is on your Georgia to-do list, then contact me and we can start planning this amazing adventure together! I look forward to guiding you!
Meeting point
We will meet in Stepantsminda (Kazbegi) and prepare luggage, equipment, meals, and everything else we need.
First, we will drive from Stepantsminda to Gergeti church. From there, we will hike to Bethlemi hut.
We will hike from Bethlemi hut to Bethlemi church, then return to Bethlemi hut. After, we will train how to use an ice axe, crampons, rope and other equipment we will need to climb to the Kazbek summit.

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!

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.
