Svaneti: Towers & High Meadows

Last updated: September 27, 2025

Trail ribbons between villages; watch towers punch the skyline like chess rooks.

Mestia: Warm‑Up Ridge

A short ridge walk for first views; towers stack like a skyline against the snowline.

Ushguli Loop

High hamlets, glacier horizon, and river stones cold as knives—carry layers and respect weather turns.

Practical & Bases

  • Base: Mestia; day trips deeper into the valley or overnight in Ushguli.
  • Season: late spring to early fall; snow closes high paths.
  • Etiquette: stay on trails; buy local cheese/bread from small yards when offered.
