Four days chasing winter light: dawn at Gergeti Trinity below Kazbek, then the snow-covered towers of Mestia under Ushba and Tetnuldi.
Map: OpenStreetMap · Road route and driving times: OSRM · Times exclude stops.
What happens if the Tbilisi-Mestia flight is cancelled?
We switch to the 4×4 transfer, about eight hours, and adjust the itinerary accordingly. There is no extra cost to you.
Do I need winter driving experience?
No. Our driver handles the Georgian Military Highway and Svaneti's winter roads, you concentrate on photography.
Is the hike to Gergeti Trinity Church difficult in snow?
It can be steep and icy. We drive up by 4×4 when conditions allow, and walk the last stretch with care otherwise.
What should I bring for the cold?
A tripod, wide and telephoto lenses, spare batteries kept warm in an inner pocket, and layered clothing rated for sub-zero dawns.
