קזבגי ועמק טרוסו ברכב 4x4 – טיול יום פרטי מטביליסי

מעל נהר אראגווי מתנשא אנאנורי, מתחם מבצר ששימש מעוז לדוכסים של אראגווי – שושלת פיאודלית שמאבקיה עיצבו חלק זה של גאורגיה. בתוך החומות ניצבות שתי כנסיות ומגדל הגנה, המעוטרים בגילופים ובציורי קיר מרהיבים של האמנות הסקרלית הגאורגית. מהחומות נפתח מבט על מאגר המים הטורקיז של שינוואלי וההרים הסובבים – עצירת היסטורית מתגמלת במיוחד בארץ זו.

High in the Greater Caucasus, Gudauri is Georgia's biggest ski resort, with lifts rising from about 1,990 to 3,279 meters and a season that usually runs from late December to mid-April. When the snow melts, the same peaks open up to paragliders and hikers, with the Gudauri Viewpoint and a climb to Sadzele Peak rewarding you with panoramic mountain views. Cap each day with khinkali, khachapuri, and mulled wine, and a lively apres-ski scene warmed by genuine Georgian hospitality.

A high valley west of Kobi at the head of the Terek, with mineral springs, orange-white travertine terraces, the Zakagori fortress and the ruins of abandoned villages. Most visitors walk or ride a 4x4 along the mostly flat valley road; the upper valley ends at the occupation line of the Tskhinvali region.

Stepantsminda, still widely called Kazbegi, is the base for Georgia's high Caucasus. The 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church sits alone at 2,170 meters with Mount Kazbek—the country's third-highest peak at 5,054 meters—rising behind it. Reach the area on the 152 km drive from Tbilisi along the Georgian Military Highway (about 3-3.5 hours), then hike to the Truso Valley's mineral springs or walk the cliffs of the Dariali Gorge.

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, about 60-75 minutes up through meadows that bloom with wildflowers in summer (about 430 meters of climb), or drive up the sealed road for those who'd rather save their legs. Once a refuge that safeguarded Georgia's religious treasures during invasions, it still holds travelers spellbound with its alpine isolation.
