14/9/19 Hatsvali Ski Resort

Woke up to a beautiful day.  Caught the chairlift half way up to the top of the ridge south of Mestia.  The chairlift to get all the way to the top wasn't going, so a tough couple of hours getting to the top up the ski slopes.

The view from the top, across to Mt Ushba at over 5,000m and a glacier.


From there it was a 3km hike out to what was meant to be an even better lookout.  We met a young couple, Hannah and Lawrence from Wales and England, along the way so walked with them.
Great views along the way

Perfect campsite

View from the top, then a steep trip back down.

In the evening, we went to a great restaurant with Hannah and Lawrence.  Local Georgian food and singing.
