CAT SKIING IN GEORGIA
Cat skiing is an exhilarating form of backcountry skiing that uses snowcats – large, tracked vehicles – to transport skiers and snowboarders to pristine, untracked powder slopes. Unlike traditional resort skiing, cat skiing takes you beyond the boundaries of groomed runs into the wild backcountry, where you’ll experience the pure joy of skiing untouched snow in spectacular mountain terrain.
The snowcat serves as your mechanical lift, climbing steep mountain roads and traversing snowy terrain that would be impossible to reach on foot. Each snowcat can typically carry 10-12 guests plus guides, making it a more intimate and personalized experience than crowded ski resorts. Professional ski guides accompany every group, ensuring safety while leading you to the best powder stashes and most scenic descents.
Cat skiing trips in Georgia offer adventure seekers the perfect blend of accessibility and wilderness experience. The guided nature of cat ski trips means that skiers of various ability levels can safely explore off-piste terrain that would otherwise require extensive mountaineering skills and avalanche knowledge.
Cat skiing in Georgia offers something truly unique—untouched powder, raw adventure, and unmatched value. For the price of a basic ski holiday elsewhere, you get deep snow, luxurious mountain accommodation, and full-service guiding in a wild and welcoming part of the world. Nowhere else will you find this combination of affordability and quality.
Georgia is an emerging hotspot for cat skiing, with its rugged terrain, vibrant culture, and famously warm hospitality. Every trip is an adventure, not just on the snow, but in the entire experience. Expect delicious Georgian cuisine, lots of toasts with locals, and the kind of surprises that make stories worth telling.
Goderdzi in particular receives staggering snowfall, thanks to moisture-laden air off the Black Sea slamming into the Lesser Caucasus Mountains. It’s not uncommon to hear our guests wondering out loud if there’s such a thing as too much snow.
Goderdzi
Goderdzi is Georgia’s rising star for cat skiing—and for good reason. The area gets hammered with deep snow all winter due to its position facing the Black Sea. Terrain here is playful, with a low avalanche risk compared to other regions, making it ideal for groups of mixed ability levels.
But what truly sets Goderdzi apart is comfort. You won’t find luxury like this in any other Georgian cat skiing zone. Our base is a 5-star mountain hotel with spa access, modern rooms, and professional staff—a true alpine retreat in an otherwise remote frontier.
Another advantage? Accessibility. Goderdzi is the closest major cat skiing destination to Tbilisi, making travel easier and less time-consuming than heading deeper into the Caucasus.
Bakhmaro & Svaneti
Bakhmaro is another powder-rich destination with similar snowfall to Goderdzi. The terrain here is steeper and more challenging—great for thrill seekers, but also comes with higher avalanche risk. Accommodation is more rustic, often in basic lodges or cabins, which may appeal to purists but lacks the comfort and convenience of Goderdzi’s luxury setup.
Svaneti is known for its dramatic alpine scenery and serious terrain, but it doesn’t get as much snow as the Black Sea-facing zones. The lines are steeper and the avalanche danger is higher, making it better suited to experienced skiers with a taste for risk. Svaneti is also much farther from Tbilisi, meaning longer travel times and less cat skiing.
The cat skiing season in Georgia runs from mid-January through mid-March. This is when the snowpack is deepest, most stable, and the weather provides the best mix of snowfall and visibility.
January brings stormy powder days and deep conditions. February hits the sweet spot for both snow and sunshine. By March, the days are longer and stability is better, ideal for exploring more terrain and scoring the occasional bluebird day on untouched lines.
While both cat skiing and heli skiing provide access to backcountry terrain, cat skiing in Georgia offers several distinct advantages that make it the preferred choice for many powder enthusiasts. Understanding these differences will help you choose the best option for your ski trip in Georgia.
Accessibility and Weather Dependence: Cat skiing Georgia operations are significantly less affected by weather conditions than heli skiing. Snowcats can operate safely in conditions that would ground helicopters, including moderate snowfall, reduced visibility, and higher winds. This means cat ski trips in Georgia have much higher success rates and fewer cancelled days.
Cost Effectiveness: Guided cat skiing trips in Georgia typically cost 40-60% less than comparable heli skiing in Georgia while providing similar powder skiing opportunities. This makes cat skiing an attractive option for skiers seeking premium backcountry experiences without premium pricing.
Group Dynamics:
Cat Skiing creates a more social and intimate group experience. The enclosed cabin environment allows for conversation, rest, and warming up between runs, fostering camaraderie among participants. The slower pace of snowcat transport also allows guides to provide more detailed instruction and terrain information.
Environmental Considerations:
Cat skiing has a significantly lower environmental impact than helicopter operations. Snowcats consume less fuel per person transported and create less noise disturbance to wildlife, making them a more sustainable choice for off-piste skiing adventures.
Terrain Access:
While helicopters can access more remote terrain, snowcats can reach an impressive variety of slopes and aspects. The extensive network of mountain roads and logging tracks in the Georgian Caucasus provides snowcats with access to terrain that rivals heli skiing destinations elsewhere.
Remote Mountains, Deep Snow, and Zero Crowds: The Cat Ski Experience in Georgia
Cat skiing in Georgia blends raw mountain adventure with Georgian hospitality. Your trip begins in Tblisi where our driver will greet you before heading up to a remote alpine Hotel tucked deep in the Lesser Caucasus Mountains.
Each day starts with a grandiose breakfast buffet before you load into a heated snowcat and climb toward untouched terrain. You’ll spend the day chasing powder across ridgelines, Beech & Pine forests, and wide-open bowls, far from any lift line or tracked-out slope. Lunches & snacks packed from breakfast can be enjoyed out in the mountains with epic views of the Lesser Caucasus.
Beyond the skiing, what sets Georgia apart is the cultural experience: remote villages, unique cuisine, warm local hosts, and an atmosphere that feels more like a road trip with friends than a cookie cutter packaged tour.
