Gudauri New

Gudauri New is located at an altitude of 2,200 meters on the southern side of the Greater Caucasus, and it is Georgia's most developed ski area, renowned for its high-alpine terrain and direct access to open, treeless mountain slopes. The area stretches up to approximately 3,300 meters and offers long, continuous runs above the tree line, where the snow conditions are often stable and dry. Gudauri is particularly popular among freeriders and experienced skiers, as off-piste areas can be accessed directly from the lifts, and vast landscapes remain untouched for days after snowfall. The modern lift infrastructure with gondolas and chairlifts provides efficient access to both wide carving slopes and technically challenging terrain. The panorama is a central part of the experience — from almost every run, the view opens up toward the snow-capped peaks and deep valleys of the Caucasus. At the same time, Gudauri distinguishes itself from classic alpine resorts with its relaxed atmosphere, compact town, and focus on skiing rather than luxury. The combination of raw nature, high-alpine skiing, and an authentic Georgian mountain vibe makes Gudauri New a unique alternative for travelers seeking grand mountain experiences away from mass tourism.
