Ski Mountaineering with Peter Schön
Mt Kazbek, Georgia’s third‑highest summit at a majestic 5,054 m, draws mountaineers by the hundreds each summer. But why follow the herd when you can blaze your own trail on skis?
In winter, Kazbek transforms into a powder paradise: carve pristine slopes, savour the hushed grandeur of a frozen alpine world, and haul your skis to the summit for a descent like no other.
This is ski touring at its purest where every turn feels like a rare jewel, and the reward isn’t just the peak itself, but the exhilarating journey through deep snow, crisp air, and untouched high‑altitude terrain. Whether you’re tuning your kit in Colorado, the Scottish Highlands, or Scandinavian fjords, Kazbek’s winter ascent promises an epic adventure that transcends borders and ignites the spirit of every skier.
