Book now
Looking for mountain air, a short walk, and a coffee with a view—but not a long hike? This private ride brings you to the Hatsvali cable car station, just outside Mestia. From there, you can glide up through forested hills to the mountaintop station, where alpine cafés and panoramic views await.
This is an ideal half-day activity for relaxed travelers, couples, families with kids, or anyone who prefers light walking to steep trails. Your driver will get you right to the lift, help with tickets if needed, and wait at the base—or return at the time you choose.
Book your rideAfter a 10-minute drive from Mestia, you’ll reach the base station of the Hatsvali cable car. From there, the lift takes you into Svaneti’s forested highlands, offering wide views and cool breezes even on warm days. At the top, relax at the wooden terrace cafés, take a short forest stroll, or just enjoy the silence. There are no mandatory activities—just mountain time on your own terms.
We use clean, private vehicles with room for groups, kids, or extra gear. Choose from standard car, minivan, or 4x4. All rides are private, and your driver can wait or come back later, depending on your preference. No rush—this trip is all about a calm, scenic experience.
The drive itself is quick—around 10 minutes each way. We recommend 1 to 3 hours at the top depending on your pace. Round-trip pricing starts at $55 per vehicle, including return pickup or waiting time. Lift tickets not included, but we can assist at the station.
