Information

• 8 Days 7 Nights, Group: 5 - 15 People, Mount Kazbek

Are you ready to dance with danger and kiss the clouds? Embark on an epic 8-day adventure where you will conquer the legendary Kazbek Mountain, Georgia's crown jewel, and immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of this ancient land. Mount Kazbek, the crown jewel of Georgia, rises at 5,054 meters and invites adventurous souls to an exciting challenge. But before you embark on this epic climb, make sure you're equipped with the necessary information: Season: The optimal climbing season for Kazbek is from June to September, when the weather is relatively stable and snow conditions are manageable. Difficulty: Kazbek is not for the faint of heart. A moderately technical climb with potential hazards such as crevasses, rock falls and rapidly changing weather conditions. You'll need good physical fitness, previous mountaineering experience and basic skills such as using crampons and rope. Route: The classic route starts from Gergeti and ascends from the Gergeti glacier to Betlemi Hut and then climbs to the summit. An alternative is the Southeastern route, which is thought to be a little more technical. Permits and Guides: Kazbek Climbing requires a special climbing permit obtained from the Georgian Mountaineering Federation. It is highly recommended that you hire a licensed and experienced Georgian guide who knows the mountain and can navigate the challenges safely. Equipment: Be prepared with mountaineering essentials like crampons, ice axe, harness, helmet, rope, warm clothing and weather-resistant outerwear. Check with your guide or rental shop for a complete list. Acclimatization: Allow enough time for proper acclimatization before heading to the summit. Spend a few days at Betlemi Hut (3,653 meters) to get used to the thin air and avoid altitude sickness. Weather: Be aware of the ever-changing mountain weather. Watch the forecast closely and be prepared to turn back if conditions become unsafe. Additional Activities: While Kazbek is the main attraction, Georgia offers many other adventures as well. Consider exploring nearby valleys, hiking to remote villages, or trying activities such as paragliding or horseback riding
