Gudauri is the largest and most reliable ski resort in the Caucasus. Sitting at 2,200 m on the Georgian Military Highway, it delivers a long powder season, dramatic off-piste, and prices that make the Alps look like a joke. This is our fully-updated 2026 guide — season dates, lift prices, terrain, best hotels, heli-ski, and how our transfer-plus-ski packages work from Tbilisi airport.
适合谁
- Intermediate & advanced skiers looking for wide, empty pistes
- Freeriders and backcountry (avalanche gear + guide)
- Snowboarders — the terrain rolls perfectly for carving
- Budget-conscious ski holidays (Alps quality, Balkan price)
- Heli-skiing from $600/run (group)
天气
- 白天最高温：-2°C to -8°C on the slopes
- 夜间最低温：-10°C to -20°C at night
Snow depth typically peaks Feb–Mar at 150–200 cm. Bluebird days are common; storms clear fast.
行李清单
- Ski/snowboard gear or plan to rent on-site (~$25/day full set)
- Helmet strongly recommended (rental available)
- Layered thermals, buff/neck-gaiter, goggles + spare lens
- Sunscreen SPF 50 & lip balm — snow reflection burns fast
- Cash lari (₾) for small huts and rentals
