Travel Program

Overview

Our MTB – bike tour Svaneti and Racha takes you through a breathtaking region of Georgia. The three beautiful mountain regions at the foot of the Greater Caucasus in western Georgia – Svaneti, Lechkhumi and Racha – are characterised by their impressive landscape, unique cultural attractions, delicious cuisine and exquisite wines.

Svaneti is not only an attractive destination for cultural, photo, hiking and mountaineering tours, but also for mountain bikers.

Our 8-day MTB cycle tour of Svanetia and Racha takes us through all three regions and is aimed at experienced cyclists who want to venture onto gravel roads and mountain passes. During the entire tour, the group is supported by a support vehicle that transports our luggage to the next accommodation (if someone in the group finds a stretch too strenuous, they are welcome to cover it in the support vehicle).

Our accommodation is mainly in guesthouses, where we will be treated to delicious food and hot showers every day. The local cuisine of Svaneti and the famous wines of Racha and Lechkhumi will make our trip a pleasant and unforgettable experience.

We usually provide bicycles locally, but you are welcome to bring your own bike or at least pedals or a saddle, which we will be happy to fit for you.

Please note: This trip can also be booked as an individual trip.

Giorgi hat uns zu viert zwei Wochen lang auf einer kombinierten Kultur- und Wanderreise durch Georgien und Armenien begleitet. Er hat sich vom ersten Kontakt bis zur Verabschiedung stets freundlich und professionell um alles gekümmert. Wir haben in schönen Hotels gewohnt und sehr gut gegessen. Die Wanderrouten waren konditionell anspruchsvoll, haben uns aber mit tollen Ausblicken in die Landschaft belohnt, inklusive der Sichtung von Steinböcken am Kasbeg. Wer Lust auf die spannenden Reiseländer Georgien und Armenien hat, kann sich bedenkenlos Giorgi anvertrauen.

Perfekte Reise durch Georgien mit Giorgi! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wir haben unsere Georgien-Reise für meine Deutsche Freunden gemeinsam mit Reiseziel Kaukasus geplant und durchgeführt und könnten nicht glücklicher mit unserer Entscheidung sein. Ein ganz großes Dankeschön geht an Giorgi! Er hat unsere Tour (unter anderem nach Mzcheta, Signagi und Tiflis) perfekt organisiert. Dank seiner hervorragenden Fachkenntnisse, seiner warmherzigen Art und den vielen spannenden Einblicken in die georgische Kultur und Geschichte wurde die Reise zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Alles lief reibungslos und super entspannt ab. Wer Georgien individuell, authentisch und bestens betreut erleben möchte, ist hier genau an der richtigen Adresse. Absolute Empfehlung!

Wir haben im Juni 2026 eine Rundreise durch Georgien gemacht, im Zuge der Planung sind wir auf Giorgi‘s Kontakt gestoßen. Leider hat terminlich keine gemeinsame Tour geklappt, aber Giorgi hat uns über die gesamte Planung und Reise wertvolle Tips gegeben und Kontakte vermittelt. Wir haben uns auch einmal in seiner Heimatstadt auf Durchreise getroffen und uns über unsere Erfahrungen und weiteren Ziele ausgetauscht. Er ist sehr kompetent, hilfsbereit und spricht sehr gut deutsch. Meine nächste Reise in Georgien wird definitiv eine von ihm angebotene Trekking Tour sein. Bis demnächst!

Die Radreise in Georgien war perfekt für alle, die das Land aktiv und nah erleben möchten. Die Strecken waren abwechslungsreich, landschaftlich sehr reizvoll und gut ausgewählt. Besonders schön war, dass immer wieder Zeit für Pausen und spontane Entdeckungen blieb.

Auf der FotoReise in Georgien haben wir Orte besucht, die fotografisch unglaublich viel zu bieten haben. Landschaften, Menschen und Architektur ergänzen sich perfekt. Die Reise war klar auf Fotografie ausgerichtet und trotzdem entspannt und inspirierend.
