We are already quite experienced tourists, and finally, the turn has reached Georgia. Together they chose Svaneti, and now there are several questions: How necessary is it to hire a guide? Is each of the routes fully studied and marked? And, most importantly, at what time of the year is a trip to Svaneti the most convenient?
Elena.
In general, you can go to Svaneti from about May to October. Approximately, because the data on current weather conditions is best clarified by a qualified travel agency. Again, your preferences — like the heat or moderate heat. In winter, I would not recommend it — the temperature sometimes practically does not differ from the average strip of Russia.
A very large number of marked routes — starting from Kazbegi-Arhoto-Shatili and Shatili to Omalo passed through the Atsunta pass, continuing to Akhkerpi-Bolnisi, Imera-Ertatsminda and many others.
Regarding the guide, if you are going to the country for the first time, I think it is necessary to hire.
The Mestia Tourist Information Center can tell you more about this. You can go to the Ushguli community. Its exclusivity lies in the permanent residence of local residents in the highlands, which is more than two thousand meters. There are plenty of tourists in the season, so you can do it without a guide — passing transport is regular.
Valia.
Svaneti is a unique place, if only because it has been included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List since 1996.
Of the seasons, it is better to choose the summer months with a small capture of spring-autumn. Again, it is worth knowing that this mountainous region is historically divided into Upper and Lower. That is, there are different climatic conditions — check with tour operators. From the northeast, Upper Svaneti is closed by the Main Caucasian Ridge.
Whatever vacation in Svaneti you choose, you will find not only unforgettable nature, but also useful historical information that can be provided, for example, by the Museum of History and Ethnography in the city of Mestia. A huge number of excursions — to ancient buildings, horseback riding through mountain rivers and much more.
A guide along the busiest routes is not mandatory in terms of safety, but from an informational point of view is simply necessary. Who, if not a native, will tell the stories of those places better.

I'm cold to independent hiking, so I won't tell you.
As for a more suitable time — definitely from May to September. But keep in mind that the weather when traveling to Svaneti, you will not guess in advance, only day to day and only in some specific area.
On the other hand, you can supplement your trip with something unplanned - a lot depends on the travel agency you have applied to.
For example, we once had to leave through Azerbaijan — it's okay. We also looked at the neighboring country. Due to the closure of the Georgian Military Road due to heavy rains, on the way, as in our case from Adjara. This may well happen, so a reliable tour operator is needed.

Для более подробной информации по этому вопросу рекомендуется обращаться к туроператорам. Главный Кавказский хребет с северо-востока закрывает Верхнюю Сванетию.Какой бы отдых в Сванетии вы ни выбрали, вас ждут не только восхитительные природные красоты, но и ценная историческая информация, доступная, например, в
Музее истории и этнографии в городе Местиа. Здесь множество возможностей для экскурсий: от посещения древних сооружений до лошадиных прогулок через горные реки и многое другое.Хотя гид по популярным маршрутам не является обязательным с точки зрения безопасности, он необходим для получения информации о местности. Кто, как не местный житель, может лучше рассказать историю этих мест и предоставить уникальные знания.
Статья дала мне полезные советы относительно времени посещения этой удивительной области. Я теперь точно знаю, что лето предлагает яркие цвета и комфортную погоду для исследования горных вершин и древних башен Сванетии. Осенью здесь, вероятно, также потрясающий пейзаж, и я уже задумываюсь о следующей поездке в этот край.
Сванетия настолько уникальна и богата своей культурой, что каждый путешественник найдет что-то по душе. От величественных гор до дружелюбных местных жителей, это место оставляет незабываемые впечатления.
Спасибо Madloba.info за предоставленную информацию, она действительно помогла мне планировать свою следующую поездку в Сванетию. Я с нетерпением жду новых приключений и знакомства с этим удивительным регионом Грузии!
И градусов под 40. поэтому мой отдых всегда приходится на летний период
