Location highlights from this tour

Eleven days, two mountains, and as much time on snow as you want. This is a ski trip pure and simple — a night to land at Kutaisi, then straight up to the slopes, split between Georgia’s two main resorts with no sightseeing in between.
You start at Gudauri, the high, open resort on the Caucasus ridge at around 2,200 metres, for four full days on wide, treeless pistes and long descents. Then it’s south to Bakuriani, a lower, forested resort in the pines — gentler and more sheltered — for three more days on the snow. Everything between arrival and departure is yours to spend skiing, at whatever pace and level suits you.
Two resorts means two different mountains and a natural change of gear: Gudauri’s open bowls for confident skiers and freeriders, Bakuriani’s easy tree-lined runs for beginners and families. Mountain weather calls the shots up here, so lift openings and conditions shape each day — the vehicle and pace are yours, and the ski days flex around whatever the mountain gives.
A travel day up to the first resort. You drive east across the country and climb the Georgian Military Highway into the Greater Caucasus to Gudauri, Georgia's biggest ski resort, high on the ridge at around 2,200 metres. It's a long but scenic drive, and you settle into your base for the next five nights — if you arrive with time to spare, the lower lifts are right on the doorstep for a first run.
Four full days on the mountain, to ski however you like. Gudauri is wide and open — treeless runs on a sunny, south-facing slope, modern lifts, and room for everyone from first-timers to people chasing a long, fast descent. Pick up a lift pass and rentals at the base, take a lesson if you need one, and settle into the rhythm of the week. Above the tree line the slopes spill into the wide off-piste bowls Gudauri is known for — a treat for strong skiers, though you're never pushed off the groomed runs; if you do go off-piste, take a qualified local guide and only when the snow and weather are right. There's room in the four days to rest the legs, too — a spa afternoon, some snowshoeing, or a slow lunch with the peaks in front of you.
A transfer day between the two resorts. You come down off the ridge and cross south into the pine country around Bakuriani, a lower, gentler ski town where you settle in for four nights. More sheltered than Gudauri and easier underfoot, it's a change of both pace and scenery — and if you reach it with time to spare, the slopes make an easy first afternoon.
Three full days on Bakuriani's gentle, tree-lined slopes — lower and more forgiving than Gudauri, and well suited to beginners, families and anyone who wants an easier pace to finish the trip. Rentals, lift passes and lessons are all simple to sort out, and there's tubing and a snow park for a change from the pistes. Ski as much or as little as you like; it's a relaxed mountain to round off the week.
After breakfast you check out and transfer west from Bakuriani back to Kutaisi International Airport for your departure, closing the loop where it began. In winter, departure times allow extra margin for mountain road and weather conditions.

Spacious modern rooms, a ski depot and a sun terrace make it a comfortable, self-contained base for a ski week.
