GUDAURI GUIDEBOOK

Buy on AMAZON | in Gudauri available in TRAVEL BAR

"Backcountry Skiing in Gudauri & Kazbegi" is part of the Still Wild Georgia series - a project that grew naturally from many winters spent exploring these mountains.
What started as a small self-published booklet has grown into a much larger project. Still Wild Georgia has evolved into a complete ecosystem of guidebooks, a mobile app, GPS tracks, route databases and films that are now watched far beyond Georgia. Today these guidebooks are printed and shipped to riders around the world, and lines that were once known only to a few locals, or completely unknown, now attract skiers and splitboarders from many different countries.

Inside you will find:
- Detailed descriptions of ski touring and splitboarding routes around Gudauri and Kazbegi
- GPX-tracks
- Elevation gain, key waypoints and practical access notes
- Terrain information to support avalanche risk assessment
- Variants for different conditions and snow stability
- Suggestions for multi-day link-ups and hut or guesthouse based touring
- Local context on culture, mountains and seasons in this part of Georgia

Still Wild Georgia: SVANETI is a dedicated backcountry ski and splitboard guide to one of the most dramatic mountain regions of the Caucasus.

This second book in the Still Wild Georgia series focuses on Upper Svaneti - Mestia, Hatsvali, Tetnuldi, Becho, Ushguli and the neighbouring valleys. It is written for ski tourers, splitboarders and mountain guides who want more than resort laps: long, aesthetic lines, village-to-village journeys and a chance to meet a living mountain culture.

Inside you will find:
Detailed descriptions of classic and lesser-known ski touring routes
Approach, ascent and descent lines with key timings, vertical gain and difficulty
Objective hazard notes, terrain traps and weather considerations for each area
Practical information on access, transport, accommodation and rescue
Context chapters on Svaneti’s history, towers, language and local customs
The book keeps the same philosophy as the Gudauri & Kazbegi guide: small groups, informed decisions and respect for wild terrain. It does not promise “easy powder”, but gives you the tools to plan safer, smarter days in complex mountains.
