Skiing & paragliding
Why go
✦
Georgia's premier ski resort — wide, treeless, snow-sure pistes that suit families and freeriders alike.
✦
Summer paragliding over the valley and alpine-meadow hiking.
✦
On the Military Highway beside the Russia–Georgia Friendship panorama, halfway to Kazbegi.
Gudauri sits at 2,196 m on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus — a modern, above-the-treeline ski resort with nothing to hem in the views. In summer it becomes a paragliding and hiking base on the road to Kazbegi.
