Why

  1. Svaneti is a mountain region, and the climate of Upper and Lower Svaneti is humid.
  2. A summer maximum above 35 degrees has been recorded, but that is an extreme, not typical weather.

Details

The peaks Ushba and Tetnuldi are described as sleeping under everpresent snow. The Hatsvali (about 8 km) and Tetnuldi (about 15 km) ski resorts are nearby, so check season dates separately. What to see: Svaneti: what to see. Winter in general: weather in Georgia in winter.

Tip

Check the forecast and road status before a winter trip, as mountain stretches can close because of snow.

What may differ

Mountain weather depends on altitude: Mestia is higher than the coast and valleys. The figures cover Svaneti in general, not one town.
