Early morning transfer from Tbilisi via the Military Highway to the stunning Kazbegi region. Your adventure begins at the Sno Valley turnoff. We continue by vehicle to Karkucha (1,800 m), where the tarmac ends and your cycling journey starts.
The route follows a scenic gravel road to Juta (2,200 m), a picturesque village at the head of the valley. From here, the real biking begins with a challenging climb toward the 5th Season Mountain Hut and the Chauki Massif (3,842 m), offering breathtaking views. Enjoy an exhilarating descent: first on smooth singletrack, then onto rugged jeep tracks through Sno Valley. The route winds through historic villages like Sno, follows the river, and showcases the iconic silhouette of Mount Kazbek. We finish with a traditional Khinkali dinner in Pasanauri before returning to Tbilisi.
If guests get tired, they can switch to a support car at Juta for the return.
