Gudauri is considered one of the most popular ski resorts of Georgia, located 120 km from Tbilisi. By car the road will take about two hours. It is very convenient to come here on a personal car: there is both a parking lot and gas station. And the roads are good.
Despite his youth, Gudauri boasts a variety of slopes, soft snow, whose height sometimes reaches two meters, and a good climate: in winter there is no burning skin of winds and severe frosts.
As a rule, during the day is always sunny, and tourists even in January can burn, if not using sunscreen. Yes, and prices in Gudauri are pleasantly surprising that for many it is an important criterion when choosing a ski resort.
The ski season lasts from December to April. In addition to skis and snowboards, it is possible to ride on snowmobiles and inflatable sledding (tubing).
The slopes here will be for both newcomers and advanced skiers. You do not know how to ride - at your service instructor, who will tell everything thoroughly, will show and certainly teach. A total of 22 routes. Long long - 7km. Lovers of freeride and slims here are a straight road. Outrass skating is a certain landmark of Gudauri.
For Extreme Lovers, you can use the Helie Ski service: the skier helicopter is delivered to the place of descent, where the snow is practically not touched and around solid virgin.
All lifts in Gudauri are modern and reliable, built by Austrians.
For babies built a bougiel.
In total, the resort is 5 queues of the Doppelmayer lifts: lower station at an altitude of 1990 meters, upper - 3007 meters. There is also a cable car of a gondola type, where each gondola is designed for 10 people.
Work from 10:00 to 16:00.
Next to the tracks the abundance of a cafe in which you can still have dinner. They prepare in Georgia very tasty, so no diets: do not deny yourself in Kababa, kebab or chinki. And of course - the present homemade Georgian wine - well, who will refuse him? A good, full dinner will cost 20-30 lari, and since the portions are huge - we can assume that this is the price for two.
As for the cost of rest, it all depends on what type of housing is preferable: a mini-hotel or a huge hotel with an indoor pool and bowling.
In any case, whatever type of housing is not selected - swimming pool, bowling, tennis courts can be visited by everyone for a fee. Very good after a few days of skating to look at an hour or other in the sauna on firewood.
Summing up, I want to say that if you are not a lover of sharp sensations, do not know how to ski or snowboard, it does not mean that the trip to Gudauri is meaningless. The beauty of the Caucasian ridge, chubby snow and the abundance of animals will not leave anyone indifferent.
