Description
Your extraordinary day begins with a warm greeting at your Mestia hotel, where our friendly tour manager will provide a comprehensive briefing before escorting you to the helipad. As the morning sun bathes the mountains in a golden glow, you'll board a state-of-the-art A350S-B3 (A-STAR) helicopter, piloted by experts who know the Caucasus like the back of their hand.
Lifting off, the helicopter soars over the dramatic landscapes of Svaneti, unveiling panoramas that few get to witness. Majestic Mount Ushba, often dubbed the "Matterhorn of the Caucasus" with its striking twin peaks reaching 4,710 meters, emerges into view. You'll glide past Mount Shkhara, Georgia's highest summit at 5,201 meters, part of the breathtaking Bezengi Wall that challenges even the most seasoned mountaineers.
The journey takes you over the timeless village of Ushguli, one of Europe's highest inhabited settlements and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, medieval stone towers stand as sentinels of history, whispering tales of a bygone era where traditions have remained untouched for centuries.
As the helicopter navigates over glaciers, deep valleys, and hidden passes, your guide shares captivating stories and insights into the region's rich heritage and natural wonders. Midway through your adventure, the helicopter touches down in a secluded alpine meadow. Surrounded by towering peaks and the tranquility of nature, you'll indulge in a delightful lunch featuring authentic Georgian cuisine — a feast for both the palate and the eyes.
For those seeking an extra dose of adrenaline, there's an option to engage in heli-assisted ski touring. Carve your own path down pristine slopes under the careful supervision of our certified IFMGA/UIAGM/GMGA heliski guides (additional fees apply). Whether you're a seasoned skier or new to off-piste adventures, this experience elevates your trip to new heights.
As the day unfolds, the shifting light paints the mountains with hues of amber and rose. You'll reboard the helicopter for a mesmerizing flight back, capturing the essence of Svaneti's beauty one last time from the sky. Upon landing, a comfortable drive returns you to your Mestia hotel, where you can reminisce about your unforgettable day tour in Georgia.
Throughout the journey, every detail is meticulously planned to ensure your comfort and safety. This isn't just travel — it's an exclusive experience that showcases the very best of Georgia's natural splendor and cultural richness.
