DAY 1: TOUCH AND GO IN TBILISI
Our first day together is dedicated to airport transfers. Since our team members will be arriving at different times, we’ll gather everyone at Tbilisi airport before proceeding to the Kazbegi region in a private shuttle. If you arrive early, you have the option to explore the town by taking a cab. Your LHO Team Leader will provide recommendations on cafes, restaurants, and heritage sites to visit closer to the time. Our scheduled shuttle time is 6 pm, so please arrange your flights to arrive beforehand. Once we’ve assembled the group, we’ll load up the shuttle and head to the Kazbegi region. The drive takes approximately three hours, passing through the Gudauri ski resort. We’ll have opportunities to stop for coffee and a short rest along the way. Upon arrival, your LHO Team Leader will check you into your rooms and inform you about dinner time. Our team dinner, hosted by your LHO Team Leader and local lead guide, will be the first chance for everyone to meet. We’ll go over the details of our upcoming itinerary and address any questions you may have. The first round of drinks is on us!
DAY 2: HITTING THE ICE
We’re diving into a full day of ice climbing, the perfect way to kick off our adventure. After breakfast, we’ll hop into our private bus for a short ride to Stepensminda, the last major town before the Russian border. A quick stop for rental gear, including harnesses, ice axes, crampons, and sturdy mountaineering boots. No worries if it all sounds like jargon—we’ll walk you through it on-site. Once our gear is sorted, we’ll head down the road toward the Russian border, eventually joining a smaller road climbing along Mount Kazbek’s side. Trek as far as we can until the road becomes too muddy. Upon disembarking, we’ll trek through the snow into a deep gorge, surrounded by towering cliffs. At the end of the trail, we’ll find the frozen Gveleti waterfall, our ice climbing playground for the day. Setting up a shelter and snacking station with hot chocolate and coffee, our local guides will create top ropes for the climb, ensuring safety and support. After a quick demo, it’s time to climb! We’ll set up two or three ropes for variety, offering different climbing options. Packed lunches at the campsite, maybe by a small fire. After three climbs, we’ll assist in packing up and return to the hotel for showers, board games, and dinner.
DAY 3: HITTING THE SLOPES
Giving our upper bodies a break, we’re switching to skiing or snowboarding for the day. After breakfast, we’ll jump into the bus and head to the Gudauri ski resort. Once there, we’ll rent our gear, grab ski passes, and hit the slopes in one of Georgia’s exclusive resorts. For those leaning toward apres-ski or first-timers, instructors can be arranged. Your LHO Team Leader will set a meeting point and time for lunch. An early dinner for the whole team in the resort before heading back to our hotel.
DAY 4: SNOW OR ICE
Our third day offers flexibility based on your preferred activity. If you’re up for more ice climbing, we’ll pick you up for another round at the waterfall. For those hungry for more slope adventures, it’s back to Gudauri. We’ll all gather for dinner back at the hotel.
DAY 5: ANCIENT CHURCHES AND EPIC SUMMITS
Distance: 8.1 KM – Ascent: 483 M – Descent: 483 M
Exploring the foot of Mt. Kazbek, our winter trek leads us to the Gergetti Trinity Church. After breakfast, we’ll board the bus for a short drive to Stepensminda. A walk through the town, across farmlands, and into the forests at the base of Mount Kazbek. Following the trail’s ascent through the forest, your LHO Team Leader will help you find a comfortable pace. The trail opens into a clearing leading to Gergetti Trinity Church, offering breathtaking views. Enjoy packed lunches, explore the church, and soak in the destination. Begin the descent toward the town center, where the bus awaits to take us back to the hotel. If time allows, we might stop for a hot chocolate in a local cafe. The final dinner together is always a bit bittersweet, but hey, the last round of drinks is on us!
DAY 6: UNTIL NEXT TIME!
Breakfast is included on our last morning together. The rest of the day will be dedicated to shuttling team members to the airport. It’s best to try to book flights from midday onwards to avoid driving along the mountain roads at night. We aim to depart the hotel as a team at 6 am. Those with late transfers will have the chance to explore Tbilisi. You can keep your bags in our private shuttle, which will be available for you when you get dropped off at the airport. Please ensure you provide the correct departure details when filling out your Team Details Form prior to the adventure. If your itinerary changes, please inform your Team Leader as early as possible to make the necessary arrangements.
