Hatsvali · Mestia · Svaneti

We’re building a new mountain bike trail in Hatsvali, Mestia — dedicated to Niko Phaliani, a person who devoted his energy to unlocking the tourism and sporting potential of Svaneti.
Niko believed in what Mestia could become. Today, that energy lives on through the volunteers, riders and mountain enthusiasts who are coming together to build something new in his name — and to open up another path for Mestia’s future.
Built by riders. For riders.
The trail is being funded by the people who will ride it.
It’s a community-built project, powered by people who believe that great trails can create opportunities, bring people together and give Mestia another reason to explore the mountains.
Once completed, the trail will be free to ride for everyone.
This is a trail built in memory of Niko — and for everyone who believes in the future of Svaneti.

A downhill trail in Mestia, at the Hatsvali resort — the first purpose-built mountain bike trail in the region, and the start of a future bike park.

19 donors
Give once, or give a little every month. Both build the same trail — and it stays free to ride either way.
One-off
Any amount, no account and no sign-up. It goes straight into the build, and you are done in a minute.
Every month
A standing monthly amount, so the next season of work can be planned rather than hoped for — and you join the people around the trail, not just the fundraiser.
Every donation goes straight into the trail.
The trail is free for everyone. Membership is about giving back.
