Sights of the village of Sno in Georgia

A couple of kilometers from the Georgian Military Road there is a small highland settlement. The most beautiful views from here conquer the hearts of tourists. On the one hand, the great Kazbek, and on the other, the mighty Chaukhi ridge turn the village into a paradise for lovers of hiking mountain excursions.

The main attractions are:

• the watchtower, preserved from the fortress of the XVI century;
• a scattering of stones in the valley, on which a local sculptor carved the faces of famous Georgian poets.

In addition, this village is rightfully considered a transshipment point for tourists traveling to Kazbegi. From here you can get to the Geleti waterfall, the village of Jute for climbing Chaukhi, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Gergeti and directly to the environs of Stepantsminda.

Modern history of the village of Sno

Unfortunately, the history of antiquity and the origin of the settlement, as well as the fortress, has been lost. Only legends about Tsar Vakhtang Gorgasali, who gave the order to erect a fortress structure, have survived. No mention has been preserved until the XVIII century.

Now the valley is gaining popularity among tourists who seek to visit places untouched by man. Fascinating views open from any point in the village, and if you go to the neighboring Jute, you can bask on sun loungers in campsites for several days and admire the riot of greenery and mountain scenery.

The doors of the hotel of the same name are open for tourists, which is valued by residents higher than the Rooms in Kazbegi. Prices in season start from 200 GEL per night.

How to get to the valley with stone faces from Gudauri

The way to the village takes 31 kilometers, 45 minutes by car. The highway is paved to the village, then the priming begins.

There are several ways to get to the famous valley from Gudauri, thanks to the Georgian sculptor:

If you plan to go from here by car to Jute, be sure to take an SUV. Even in hot summer weather, a passenger car will not pass along a narrow dirt embankment along the cliff.
