For the first time in Georgia’s history, the Freeride World Tour is taking place at Tetnuldi Resort, Svaneti, the Mountain Trails Agency reported.

The decision to host the event was announced at the annual Freeride event in Annecy, France. Georgia is among the six leading countries (Canada, Andorra, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, and Georgia) that have received the right to hold the Freeride World Tour.

Freeride is a special type of winter sport involving sliding on untracked snow in challenging and mountainous terrain.

The event features 50 riders from 15 countries, including Georgia’s representative, Jaba Shvediani.

The competition, held under the auspices of the International Ski Federation (FIS), is expected to showcase Georgia’s mountain and ski resorts on an international scale, contributing to the development of winter sports and tourism in the region.
