Georgia is one of the hidden gems of the Caucasus, offering incredible ski touring opportunities for adventurers seeking both challenge and stunning alpine scenery. From the wide open slopes of Gudauri to the remote mountains of Mestia, Georgia provides terrain suitable for beginners, intermediates, and advanced ski tourers. At Whiteoutzone, we have been operating ski tours in Georgia for years, providing unmatched local knowledge and professional guidance, ensuring that every participant enjoys a safe and unforgettable experience.
Georgia’s ski resorts combine modern infrastructure with breathtaking landscapes. Gudauri is the most famous, known for its deep powder, expansive slopes, and reliable snowfall. Mestia, in the Svaneti region, offers a more remote experience with untouched backcountry terrain and incredible vistas of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. Both resorts provide easy access to high-quality lifts, cozy accommodations, and local hospitality, making them perfect bases for ski touring expeditions.
For those who seek adventure beyond the resort boundaries, Georgia offers some of the best backcountry skiing in the Caucasus. Ski touring allows you to explore untouched slopes, wide alpine bowls, and steep ridges, far from the crowds. With local knowledge, you’ll discover hidden lines and experience the freedom of the mountains like never before.
Whiteoutzone tours include carefully planned routes that balance excitement with safety, allowing every skier to challenge themselves while enjoying the natural beauty of Georgia’s winter landscapes.
All our ski touring programs in Georgia are led by IFMGA-certified mountain guides. These guides are highly trained professionals with years of experience in high-altitude alpine terrain and avalanche safety. Their expertise ensures that every ascent and descent is both thrilling and secure. From teaching proper touring techniques to providing real-time guidance on snow conditions, our guides make each tour enjoyable, educational, and above all, safe.

Ski touring in Georgia is not only about mountains and powder; it’s also about connecting with the local culture. Many tours include visits to traditional villages, opportunities to try authentic Georgian cuisine, and even cultural excursions in Tbilisi or Mestia. Our itineraries are designed to blend adventure with authentic local experiences, giving you a full picture of this fascinating country.
The best time for ski touring in Georgia is from December through April, when the snow is deepest and most reliable. During this period, both Gudauri and Mestia offer ideal conditions for both on-piste and off-piste ski touring. Early-season tours allow for fresh powder, while late-season trips may benefit from more stable weather and longer daylight hours. Our guides always assess snow and weather conditions to ensure safe and enjoyable tours.
