Gudauri — High Above the Caucasus
At 2,200 metres, Gudauri is Georgia’s gateway to high-altitude winter. Wide open slopes, reliable snow and a long season make it a natural base for exploring the Greater Caucasus — from first turns to deep freeride days. Close enough to Tbilisi for a weekend, wild enough to feel properly remote.
Benefits & Highlights
- High-altitude skiing — Base yourself at around 2,200 m, with lifts reaching well above 3,000 m.
- Big, open terrain — Wide pistes and naturally shaped slopes leave plenty of room to find your line.
- Freeride country — Gudauri is known for accessible off-piste terrain and deep-snow days beyond the groomed runs.
- Long winter season — High elevation helps keep the mountain skiable well into spring.
- Easy from Tbilisi — Around a two-hour drive from the capital, making Gudauri one of the Caucasus’ most accessible ski areas.
- Ski-in, ski-out potential — Much of the accommodation sits directly around the lifts and slopes.
- Night skiing — Selected slopes stay open after dark, adding another dimension to a day on the mountain.
