Six days in Gudauri built around skiing, with two heliski days scheduled when weather allows, certified guides and avalanche kit included.
| Day 1 | Pick-up in Tbilisi and private transfer along the Georgian Military Highway to Gudauri, about two hours with a stop at Ananuri. Check-in, equipment fitting and an avalanche safety briefing with your guide in the afternoon. |
| Day 2 | First ski day on Gudauri's pisted terrain to assess the group's level, followed by an afternoon off-piste run with the guide scouting conditions for the heliski window. |
| Day 3 | Heliski day 1, weather permitting: helicopter access to off-piste descents above Gudauri with the certified guide, typically 3-5 runs depending on snow and visibility. If the helicopter cannot fly, the day shifts to guided freeride on accessible slopes. |
| Day 4 | Freeride and off-piste day on foot-accessed terrain around Kudebi and Sadzele, with route choice based on recent snowfall and avalanche bulletin. |
| Day 5 | Heliski day 2, weather permitting, using the second scheduled flying window of the week. Backup day is guided on-piste and sidecountry skiing if conditions do not allow flying. |
| Day 6 | Final short ski session in the morning if time and conditions allow, then check-out and private transfer back to Tbilisi, arriving early afternoon. |
What happens if the helicopter cannot fly on both scheduled days?
Both heliski days have a built-in backup: guided off-piste or sidecountry skiing from the lifts, led by the same certified guide, at no extra charge.
Is this suitable for intermediate skiers?
Confident intermediate skiers comfortable off-piste can usually join the freeride days; heliski runs require a stronger off-piste level, which we discuss before booking.
Does the price include ski or snowboard rental?
No, rental is arranged locally and quoted separately at booking; many guests prefer their own boots for fit.
Is insurance really mandatory?
Yes, for the heliski days you need a policy that covers off-piste skiing and helicopter evacuation; standard travel insurance usually does not, so check the wording before you fly.
