Gudauri is Georgia's most developed and largest ski resort, located on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus at an altitude of over 2200 meters above sea level. Winter sports enthusiasts choose this destination primarily for the high-quality snow, long, wide ski slopes, and impressive freeride and heliskiing opportunities. The location above the tree line guarantees undisturbed, sunny descents and an unparalleled panorama of the Caucasus peaks. In addition to modern ski lifts and infrastructure, local hospitality is also outstanding. In the huts and restaurants along the slopes, you can taste the best of Georgian cuisine, including hot khachapuri, shashlik, and local wines, which are the first-rate end to an active day. The lively après-ski life and friendly atmosphere make the place attractive to all ages. Access to the resort is extremely easy, as it is only a two-hour drive from Tbilisi on the well-maintained Georgian Military Highway. The main season lasts from December to mid-April, when snow conditions are the most good. In summer, Gudauri becomes a base for hikers, mountain bikers, and paragliders, offering exciting experiences at all times of the year.
