1 day
no overnight stay
15 km
Hiking to the Gergeti glacier for one day in a comfortable group. We walk up to 15 km a day. Incredible Martian landscapes and unique nature await us.










PROGRAM
The Gergeti glacier is of the alpine type. Its circus (a basin in the form of an amphitheater) - the source of food - is located at an altitude of 4000-4500 m above sea level. Snow accumulates here, which gradually transforms into firn, and subsequently into glacier ice, which has special plasticity.






The surface of the glacier is occupied by a snow layer covering white ice of the firn type, dissected by vertical and horizontal cracks, the width of which ranges from 0,03-0,5 m to 7-8 m, and the depth reaches 20-30 m. At the edges of the ice cracks glacier is noticeable blue ice.
Feedback from our customers
Nikita ChesnokovAny trip with PVD was a true adventure to remember for me! I've had 4 of them already, including one 1-week hiking trip, and really looking forward for more in the future.
Sergey FGreat guys. I've been to a lot of places with them over the past two years: Juta, Lake Abudelauri, Lake Udziro, Tusheti, and ascents of Ortsveri and Kazbek.
Ivan SemerA good and convenient service for renting camping equipment. Thank you, I'll be using you again.
Alexey AzarovAn excellent tour operator for various tours in Georgia and beyond. I've traveled with them several times to Gudauri, Bakhmaro, and Tusheti, and each time I got more than I expected. The organizers are friendly but not pushy, ready to help with any difficulties, offer advice, support, and join in on fun projects. They're also willing to accommodate any unusual requests, like renting equipment and leading a wave ski tour up that mountain. For me, these guys offer the best value for money, and I definitely plan to travel with them again.
Kristina KuzhalI went with the guys to Kazbek – this ascent will remain in my heart forever! Thanks to the guide, Gleb, you're incredible! Everything was clearly organized and coordinated. The atmosphere was friendly and fun, but at the same time, everything regarding safety and time limits was strictly adhered to. And the food! Mmmmm... the cocoa alone at 3653 meters was worth it! We were always well-fed, instructed, and the guide was always there to help and support us. This was my first trip where absolute confidence in the guide and team inspired me personally. It was interesting, exciting, and challenging in places, but absolutely comfortable, calm, safe, and fun. Thank you!
Dmitry DrozdWhen's the next tour, guys? After a successful climb of Kazbek, I definitely need to do a few more! Our guide, Gleb, was very helpful in resolving any issues along the way, clearly defined the weather window for the climb, and our group was the first on the mountain. It's a small thing, but it's important! Anyway, see you there! I'm thrilled with the organization of the tour!
Sergey IodoThank you to your team for an unforgettable climb of Kazbek! Everything was perfectly organized, the guide was super professional, supporting and motivating at every step. We reached the summit and had a ton of incredible experiences!
Yana SavishevaWe traveled with our family and rented a car from these guys. Everything went great: the car was in good condition, and we had no problems. Communication was quick and pleasant. We had only positive experiences. We highly recommend them! :)Showing our latest reviews
