GUDAURI - BIDARA - SADZELE - MONASTÈRE DE LOMISSA - VALLÉE DU SNO
Ski the untouched and wild itineraries of the southern slope of the Great Caucasus Mountains.
Gudauri is a ski resort located only 2 hours drive from Tbilisi International Airport. It is the main ski resort in Georgia. Nestled on the southern slope of the Caucasus Mountains at an altitude of 2000 meters, Gudauri is in the heart of a magnificent alpine landscape that benefits from abundant snowfall in winter.
Located on the slopes of Mount Sadzele, which culminates at 3300 mts, the ski lifts of the ski resort range between 2000 and 3279 mts. As is often the case in countries where skiing is not yet very popular, off-piste skiing itineraries are hardly frequented by local skiers and the practice of backcountry skiing is almost unknown. This allows us to enjoy virgin snow without too much competition! For lovers of calm and authenticity, a beautiful day backcountry skiing towards the Monastery of Lomissa is surely an experience not to be missed…
Depending on the weather and snow conditions, we will also be able to travel by minibus to the neighboring valleys to take advantage of the beautiful possibilities of ski touring from typical villages with preserved culture.

What you will do during your trip
You will ski off-piste for six days, discovering the surroundings of Mount Kazbek in Georgia.
Performing descents of 1000 to 1300 meters of vertical drop in virgin snow because the locals are not particularly attracted by off-piste.
And you won’t escape a small glass of tchatcha to share with the locals.
