Gudauri is a young, but very promising ski resort of Georgia. The highest lift station is located at an altitude of 3000 meters. It is very high, for comparison, the Ukrainian bucker is the highest point of only 1370 meters.
We drove in Gudauri on a minibus from Kharkov, the road was tedious, on the borders (this is Russian and Georgian) had to upload completely things and pass with them to check. The most difficult area of the road began from the KP "Upper Lars", but we were very lucky that the path was generally discovered, as it drops a lot of snow, it is closed. They passed, in the literal sense, through a snow tunnel, the road is narrow and two cars are disturbed. Having met on the way a wagon, we crushed the mirror and stuck in a snowdrift, I had to cancel the bus and push it with all ways. The whole road took 25 hours, but finally, we were not disappointed in Gudauri.
Our holiday was budget, settled in a private mini-hotel, a 15-minute walk from the ski lift. It was a two-story building, with a large living room and a fireplace on the first floor and the rooms on the second. Amenities are not in every room, but on the floor.
In general, it was cozy. The price has entered breakfast and dinner. The hospitable hostess met us always with smile and delicious dishes. The atmosphere in the hotel was spiritual, Georgians are very cute people.
Gudauri - a snowy resort, going out in the morning on the street, we paid attention to the height of the snowdrifts, I imagine how people it was hard to clear snow.
Before the lift, we were not short, there were no queues to the cashier, the cost of lifts, compared with the European, Russian and Ukrainian resorts, is not high, but in advance you need to change the currency on the local, since only Lari is accepted at the checkout.
The lifts in Gudauri modern, was built by the Austrians, or the Germans.
Lifting up it is impossible not to note the beauty of the surrounding mountains, the photos will not be fully transmitted to this type.
Skating in Gudauri will like more novice borders and skiers, the tracks are well prepared, are ragged, there are practically no bumps and a bias are not very big, you can enjoy a slow descent. Experimental people need to ride not along the tracks, Freeride in Gudauri is.
We dinned on the mountain in the cafe, the portions are very large, Georgian food is incredibly tasty and satisfying, and the prices for pocket almost any tourist.
Making a break in Catania, we went to Tbilisi and on the way we met an unforgettable beauty of the lake.
The blueness of this lake fascinates, I definitely advise everyone to be lazy and allocate half a day on his visit.
Gudauri I really liked, pleasant in all respects the resort, I want to go there more than once
