What happens if the Jvari Pass is closed?

Do we need previous snowshoe experience?
No. The pace is gentle and the guide manages equipment and route depending on current snow depth.
Can the hotel be swapped for another in Stepantsminda?
Yes, alternatives are available at a different price; confirm options at the time of booking.
Does the tour run every day in winter?
