Mountains of Georgia

The real spirit of the Caucasus

Georgia is a country born of mountains. They do more than shape the landscape — they shape the soul, the silence, and the grandeur of this land. From the southern slopes of the Lesser Caucasus to the northern glaciers of the Main Ridge, every twist in the road leads to a revelation.

More than two-thirds of the country is covered by mountains. Ridges, gorges, high passes, and icy peaks — these aren’t just elements of geography, they are part of Georgia’s very essence.

Kazbegi, Gudauri, Svaneti, Racha… These names are familiar to anyone who’s ever fallen in love with mountains. But beyond the well-known trails lie other, more intimate paths — hidden, lesser-known, calling for silence and attention. These are the places Premium Georgia unveils in the format of private & curated experiences, with itineraries designed down to the finest detail.

Mountains are about scale, breath, and stillness. This is more than travel — it’s a connection. To nature. To yourself. To the present moment. In the mountains, you realize that luxury isn’t just about service — it’s about freedom. Space. Presence.

Kazbek — a peak that became a symbol. Towering at 5,047 meters, it is one of the most iconic summits in Georgia. At its foot lies the Gergeti Trinity Church — a spiritual landmark where the gaze ascends to the heavens, and thoughts dive deep within. The surroundings of Stepantsminda offer dramatic vistas, valley glaciers, broadleaf and pine forests, and the turbulent waters of the Terek River. Here lives the energy of adventure: paragliding, horseback riding, hiking, rafting, and the villages of Sno and Juta — like pages from a fairytale of freedom.

Gudauri is Georgia’s premier ski resort. Located along the Georgian Military Highway, 120 kilometers from Tbilisi and perched at over 2,000 meters, Gudauri is all about action, style, and space. Slopes and panoramas, mountain air and fireside evenings. In the off-season and summer, people come here for quiet, for mental reset, for vistas and cool breezes — for that rare feeling when a vacation becomes true renewal.

Svaneti is Georgia’s most mythical and authentic region. The Svan towers are more than architecture — they’re symbols of resilience. Everything here speaks of heritage and depth. Peaks, cliffs, mountain villages, traditions, language, and cuisine: kubdari, chvishtari, Svanetian salt. A land of contrasts: from alpine pastures to waterfalls, from lakes to glaciers. Mestia and Ushguli are major destinations, and between them lies untouched nature, trails, panoramas, and the raw essence of the mountains.

Racha — a hidden alpine paradise. Fewer tourists, more silence. Just four hours from Tbilisi and you’re among gorges, forests, lakes, mineral springs, and vineyards. This is a place not for just a break, but for something real. In Racha, life is unhurried — people walk without a map, inhale the scent of pines, and listen to the wind whispering through the hills. The region is evolving: offering more space for solitude and natural comfort.

In the mountains of Georgia, peaks are not just part of the landscape — they become part of your inner horizon.
