Day 1: Transfer to Bakhmaro
Pick up at Tbilisi or Kutaisi airport and transfer to Bakhmaro.
We will take a minibus to Chkhakoura (From Tbilisi, 325 km and a 5-hour drive, from Kutaisi airport, 80 km and a 1:30 hour drive).
Once we reach Chkhakoura we will take a snowcat to Bakhmaro (1-hour).

Day 2 to 7: Catskiing in Bakhmaro
We will enjoy 6 days of catskiing from the morning to the evening. On average, we will have around 8-12 runs (3500 – 5000 vertical meters) in all kinds of weather. We will enjoy lunch out in the wild and take it with us in the snowcat.
Because the Bakhmaro region is quite wild very often we will discover completely new places where no one has skied before. On day 7, we will finish skiing earlier than usual so that we can take the minibus to Tbilisi or Kutaisi. Overnight in a hotel.
