Introduction
Stepantsminda, formerly known as Kazbegi, is the
regional center of Kazbegi municipality. This part
of Georgia is famous throughout the world for its
dramatic mountainous range and the third highest
mountain in Georgia, Mount Kazbeg. Mount Kaz-
beg has been well loved by mountain climbers since
it was first climbed in 1868 by 23 years old British
5
alpinist Douglas Freshfield from the London Alpine
Club and has been an important climbers destina-
tion ever since. The region is named after the famous
local noble pastoral poet Alexander Kazbegi who
lived for seven years as a shepherd, writing his fa-
mous poems celebrating the beauty and richness of
the mountains.
To inspire your stay Rooms Hotel Kazbegi provides
numerous tours in and around Kazbegi region. We
are all about creating meaningful memories that
