We hope you can find the relevant information that you want on our website. We also selected these mountain hut FAQ (frequently asked questions) to bubble up some of the hotter topics our guests have.
But we know it’s impossible to capture every single question that might come up. So if you haven’t found your answer, you can get in touch with us to ask any questions you have about our mountain hut in Georgia. Besides, we would love to hear from you!
Alpine Hut Deka is located at 3020m, below the Gergeti Glacier and Meteo Station. You can hike up from Stepantsminda, which usually takes 4-6 hours.
You can also arrange for horseback porters to bring up your bags from Sameba Trinity Church (2170m). The hike from the church will take 2-4 hours, depending on fitness levels and breaks to enjoy the views.

Alpine Hut Deka operates in all weather conditions, but extreme weather may affect access to certain areas or activities. We do our best to accommodate guests, but if weather conditions make travel or staying unsafe, we will let you know as soon as possible. In rare cases, we may need to offer alternative dates or issue a refund.
Mobile signal may be limited or unavailable at this altitude, depending on your network provider. We have WiFi – using Magti mobile broadband – for guests to stay connected.
Every room has European plug sockets where you can charge a phone. Our electricity is generated by solar power, so these depend on sufficient battery storage power. Sometimes it isn’t possible to provide these with electricity during bad weather or all night.
We ask that you enjoy the food and drinks from our café-restaurant while hanging out in the lounge or on the terrace. It helps keep a comfortable space for all our guests and supports the running of the hut. Thanks for understanding!
We ask guests to follow the hut rules to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. Smoking is not allowed inside, and we kindly ask that you respect the communal atmosphere of the hut. No hazardous or dangerous materials are allowed on the premises, and guests who do not follow the rules may be asked to leave without a refund.
