The ridge appears before you like a high gray wall—winded by snow, threaded by animal tracks, and punctuated by low-stone villages where smoke rises from iron chimneys. You start near Goderdzi ski area, strap on snowshoes and move uphill through open meadows that push you toward 2,000 meters, the air thin and bright with cedar-scented cold.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The ridge appears before you like a high gray wall—winded by snow, threaded by animal tracks, and punctuated by low-stone villages where smoke rises from iron chimneys. You start near Goderdzi ski area, strap on snowshoes and move uphill through open meadows that push you toward 2,000 meters, the air thin and bright with cedar-scented cold.
This route follows landscapes shaped by uplifted limestone and volcanic foothills of Adjara, a corner of Georgia where Ottoman, Russian and Georgian influences converge in remote highland hamlets. Local villagers still keep small flocks and grow hardy barley; in winter, guesthouses double as waystations for shepherds and skiers alike.
Expect broad, wind-swept plateaus, avalanche‑cleared glades and narrow gullies that demand simple route-finding. The first day’s snowshoe loop climbs gradually—about four hours on packed and soft snow—then you sleep in a village guesthouse with home-cooked dinner. Day two opens options: another guided snowshoe circuit or a short transfer to nearby lifts for a ski session before returning to Batumi.
Practical edge: snow conditions change quickly—early starts, layered insulation, and a working headlamp for pre-dawn transfers keep the trip comfortable. Guides provide snowshoes and transport; bring insulated boots, poles and a small first-aid kit. Hydrate, keep pace on ascents, and watch for cornices on exposed ridgelines.
This is a hands-on winter adventure—moderate fitness, simple navigation, and willingness to sleep in a village setting will reward you with raw alpine views and a slice of Ajara’s mountain life.
Yes—guided tours include snowshoes; confirm boot size when you book.
Night temperatures can drop well below freezing; daytime temps often range around -5°C to 5°C depending on weather and wind.
No technical winter skills are required, but participants should be comfortable walking for several hours in snow and have moderate fitness.
Yes—the itinerary offers an option to ski at Goderdzi’s resort on day two, weather permitting; bring ski gear or arrange rentals locally.
