Svaneti Range

Svaneti Range (Georgian: სვანეთის ქედი) is an 85 km long sub-mountain range of the Greater Caucasus, in the Svaneti region of Georgia, located south of the main Caucasus ridge in a west–east direction.

It forms the watershed between the Enguri River (to the north and west) and the Tskhenistsqali (to the south).

The right Tskhenistsqali tributary Cheledula separates the mountains from the further south Egrisi Range.

Svaneti Range is composed mainly of sedimentary ( mica, schist ) and partly of metamorphic rocks ( quartzite, slate ).

The slopes of the Svaneti Range at lower elevations are covered with forests of beech, spruce and fir.
