Ski Slopes and Glaciers

Hatsvali Ski Station is just 8 kilometres (5 miles) south of Mestia and was opened in 2010. It has several slopes and good access from Mestia. The slopes are usually open from December to April. Tetnuldi Ski Resort is further afield, east of Mestia, and is Georgia’s second-largest ski station (after Gudauri). The ski slopes range from 1,600–3,165 metres (5,250–10,384 feet) on the mountain whose peak is at 4,858 metres (15,938 feet), near the border with Kabardino-Balkaria. www.tetnuldi.com Information about all of Georgia’s ski resorts can be found on www.skigeorgia.ge. The village of Adishi, positioned beside a glacier, is located several kilometres from Mount Tetnuldi, and has four churches. www.svanetitrekking.ge is a good source of information about the area and its many opportunities for visiters.
