Gudauri, Winter sports resort in Kazbegi Municipality, Georgia
Gudauri is a ski resort in the Greater Caucasus situated at roughly 2,200 meters elevation with terrain suitable for different skill levels. The area spans multiple zones connected by lift systems that transport skiers to various sections of the mountain.
The area began developing as a winter sports destination during the Soviet period and saw major expansion following Georgian independence in the 1990s. These phases shaped the facilities and layout visitors see today.
The resort draws visitors who come to share the mountain experience and taste local food and drinks in the lodges scattered across the slopes. Over time, it has become a meeting place where people from different regions gather to enjoy the high-altitude terrain together.
The location is well-connected and offers lodging options on the mountain and in nearby villages. Visitors should prepare for cold, changeable mountain weather and bring appropriate gear for high-altitude conditions.
Located above the tree line, the resort provides access to extensive terrain beyond marked runs for experienced winter sports athletes. The high elevation allows visitors to experience extreme alpine landscapes that are rarely accessible in this region.
