Description
Your day begins in the serene mountain town of Mestia, nestled in Georgia's Svaneti region — an area renowned for its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage dating back to the 12th century. After breakfast at your hotel, you meet with our professional guides for a welcome briefing. Here, you'll receive essential avalanche training, ensuring that safety is a top priority as you venture into the wilderness.
As the morning sun illuminates the snow-capped peaks, a short transfer takes you to the helipad between 9:45 and 10:00 am. The anticipation builds as you gear up and listen to a final briefing from 10:00 to 10:15 am. By 10:15 am, you're airborne, soaring over the dramatic terrain of the Caucasus Mountains, where ancient glaciers and rugged cliffs create a breathtaking panorama.
From 10:15 am to 1:00 pm, experience the thrill of heliskiing as you descend remote slopes blanketed in deep, untouched powder. Each run offers a new challenge and a fresh canvas of snow, tailored to your skill level — whether you're a newcomer or an expert seeking the ultimate off-piste adventure. Our small group, limited to a maximum of eight skiers, ensures a personalized experience, with two local IFMGA-certified guides maintaining the ideal ratio of four skiers to one guide.
At midday, pause for a well-deserved lunch from 1:00 to 2:00 pm. Depending on the day's conditions, enjoy a picnic amidst the majestic peaks or return to your hotel for a hearty meal featuring local Georgian cuisine — a true taste of Georgia travel.
The afternoon holds more excitement as you continue heliskiing from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. The guides lead you to new runs, sharing their intimate knowledge of the terrain and the region's history. All necessary avalanche safety equipment, including air bags, is provided for your security.
As the day winds down, you return to Mestia filled with stories and adrenaline. Celebrate your accomplishments with your guides — perhaps over a traditional Georgian toast — embracing the camaraderie that comes from shared adventure. The evening is yours to relax and reflect on a day well spent, surrounded by the timeless beauty of the Caucasus.
