Known locally as Mkinvartsveri, “the mountain of eternal ice”, Kazbek rises above Stepantsminda on the border with Russia. Georgia’s third-highest peak is one of the most accessible 5,000-metre summits in the world: a true high-altitude climb that is ideal for first-time mountaineers and seasoned climbers alike.
In summer, most climbers reach Kazbek’s summit on foot. We go up on skis in spring, then drop more than 3,000 metres of wild, untouched off-piste terrain through glaciers and deep powder snow. A true challenge for passionate ski mountaineers, and one of the most spectacular descents anywhere in the Caucasus.

Alexander AldeAn amazing experience and a fantastic tour operator. I snagged the last spot in an open group heading to Kazbek, and everything went like a clockwork. You have the option to rent any missing gear at a reasonable price. Every evening during the tour, they go over the next day’s itinerary, and the guides share their insights—which you should definitely listen to. All in all, a really awesome summit tour—not exactly easy, and everyone should be aware of that. But I definitely recommend this Tour operator 👍!Posted on Google
Sandra De LooreIn september 2026 beklom ik de Kazbek met The Alpine Project. Een professioneel en ervaren team. De tocht werd goed georganiseerd, van het transport van en naar Tbilisi, materiaalcheck, gletsjertraining, tot de beklimming zelf. Dagelijks kregen we een briefing over het verloop van de volgende dag. Voorafgaand was ik bezorgd over de korte acclimatisatietijd, maar deze bleek goed opgebouwd. De beklimming zelf gebeurt aan een rustig tempo waardoor je kan genieten van de mooie uitzichten en de top fris bereikt. Kortom, een fijne ervaring en geslaagde trip.Posted on Google

Eli GraffThe Alpine Project is awesome, I would definitely recommend a trip to Kazbek. Georgia is an amazing country, and Beka was an excellent guide!Posted on Google
Georg SosnovikovEverything was really well organized, with a lot of attention to small details and backup plans, and the guides did a great job of looking after each person individually! The rental gear was also in excellent condition - not the usual worn-out stuff you often get on guided trips. Thank you!Posted on Google

Els De MeulenaereHad a fantastic time climbing mount Kazbek with the Alpine Project team. I joined an open group, we were 14 in total and everybody made it to the summit. Excellent service regarding transport, rental gear, accommodation and meals (vegan option incl. !). Top, professional and inspirational, mountain guides, one feels save from beginning to start. Thorough gear check before going up, daily briefings on the routes, risks, weather forecasts, required gear and clothing. Good acclimatization plan. And last but not least, relaxing and fun group vibe.Posted on Google
