Surrounded by mighty 5000 m peaks, Svaneti is one of Georgia’s most historic and unique areas and a real skiers’ dream. Until recently, Svaneti was best known for its superb house-towers, most of them dating back to the 12-13th centuries, which line the valleys and served as look-out posts against the threat of invasion. Those towers belong to UNESCO World Heritage List.
In Svaneti, there are two modern white resorts: Hatsvali and Tetnuldi. The first one started operating several years ago. Hatsvali offers 5 ski slopes of different levels. Ski lifts at the resort are built by two world's leading manufacturers of ropeways, cable cars and ski lifts - Leithner and Doppelmyer. The lowest lift station is located at an elevation of 1428 meters above sea level and the highest one on 2348 meters.
