Description
Bakhmaro, with an altitude of around 1,900 metres, is one of the highest "holiday resorts" in Georgia. Many families from the surrounding area have a hut here and spend some time in summer in the high valley. Early in the season there is plenty of powder snow, so the village is currently uninhabited and difficult to reach in winter. That sounds good, doesn't it?! The high amounts of snow and the regular snowfall are perfect for freetouring and catskiing. The area was recently discovered as a powder paradise and there are still many variations for freetourers with a pioneering spirit. In December and March we now offer cat skiing and ski tours in Bakhmaro. There are possibilities for all weather conditions and snow conditions. The mountains around Bakhmaro are varied and captivate above all by light beech forests and many northern slopes. Ideal terrain to discover new territory!
