Can I rent equipment in Georgia?

Yes! We work with numerous mountain equipment and ski rental companies. Please check equipment lists on your tour page for available equipment to rent that you might need.

What happens to the plans if the weather is bad, or climbing conditions are unsuitable?

Mountaineering and alpine activities are subject to local weather conditions, and while we will make every effort to meet the goal of the trip, sometimes this will not be deemed safe or possible. In the event of such a situation, we will make sure to offer reasonable alternatives and accommodations. No refunds will be made.

What happens with accommodation if the weather is bad and we need to spend extra nights in the hotels?

Should weather conditions not permit us reaching the summit, we will ensure all necessary accommodation is provided given an early descent scenario. Reserve days in itineraries exist to prevent such situations.

Can I book a single room on my trip?

Yes, for an additional fee. Please write to us that you would like a single room while making your booking enquiry and we will be glad to arrange this for you.

What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

Cancellations made 60 days before the start date of the trip will be eligible for a fully refundable deposit. If cancellation is made 59 days or less from the trip date, the deposit will not be refundable.

The Alpine Project requires a 30% booking fee deposit. The remaining fee should be completed upon arrival to Georgia before the start of the tour. Bookings are confirmed when booking deposit is received and all dates, packages, and information is agreed on. We require all passport copies of guests for booking.

For ski lessons, we require a cancellation notice at least 72 hours in advance from the start date of the lesson. The 30% deposit will be refundable if cancelled before the 72 hour window begins. Ski lessons should be paid in full amount 24 hours before the start time of the lesson.
