Catskiing - Snowmobile Touring at Goderdzi

Goderdzi Pass is one of the most alluring locations for catskiing enthusiasts because of its high-quality untracked snow. What catskiiers love most here is going up to the starting point, then sitting on their snowmobiles and catskiing all the way down. If catskiing is your thing, Georgia is a wonderland. Of course, it is crucial to be accompanied by a knowledgeable and licensed guide who is familiar with avalanche zones and who can choose the appropriate routes.

Things to Consider

Some parts of the road from Batumi to Goderdzi are in poor condition, so an off-road car is essential. 

An alternative way of reaching Goderdzi is through the Akhaltsikhe-Adigeni route. In this case, you need to drive up to Adigeni with an off-road car, from which a snowmobile can take you to the resort.

Snowmobile is widely deemed the best way to move around Goderdzi. 

If unable to bring all of your own gear, Goderdzi is well served with equipment rental services.
