In short: our Freeride Catski Georgia camp (27 Dec 2026 – 2 Jan 2027) means five days of cat skiing in Bakhmaro plus New Year’s Eve in the mountains. The regular fee is €2,640 (€2,376 with the Premium Card), which works out at about €475–528 per riding day. Moreover, it is the only trip in our comparison that includes New Year’s Eve.
Bakhmaro at a glance
Bakhmaro is a mountain village in the Guria region of the Lesser Caucasus, at about 1,900 m (riding terrain 1,950–2,700 m). You get there from Kutaisi by minibus, and the last few dozen kilometres by snowcat. Moist air from the Black Sea brings heavy snowfall; however, at the turn of the year you should expect early-season, variable conditions.

What the comparison shows
- Our regular fee (€2,640) is the lowest total in this comparison, and with the Premium Card it drops to €2,376.
- Per riding day we sit in the middle of the range, mainly because we ride 5 days instead of 6.
- We are the only ones riding over New Year’s Eve. As a result, flights cost more at that time, and the season in Bakhmaro usually only peaks in January.
