About Trinity Church Gergeti
Set against the snowcapped cone of Mount Kazbek, this 14th-century church is one of Georgia's most photographed sights and a living Orthodox pilgrimage site. We walk you up from Stepantsminda, roughly a two to three hour climb through meadows that bloom with wildflowers in summer, or arrange a 4x4 for those who'd rather save their legs. Once a refuge that safeguarded Georgia's religious treasures during invasions, its medieval frescoes and alpine isolation still hold travelers spellbound.
Culture
A pilgrimage site, Gergeti embodies Georgian Orthodox traditions. The Mokheve people's hospitality and mountain folklore enrich the experience.
