Gudauri’s ski resort is a real paradise for the winter holidays. The season starts in December and lasts until late spring. In this period the thickness of snow reaches approximately 2 meters. The first artificial snowmaking on the slopes in Gudauri took place in 2014- 2015 as a result of which, the season has been prolonged to five months, from December to April.

The skiing territory of Gudauri is huge and can put together 15.000 skiers at the same time. For skiing enthusiasts, Gudauri is a real paradise, with 60 km of tracks of various levels of difficulty, marked and prepared using snowcats. For professionals, there are the slalom tracks, the giant-slalom, the super-giant slalom, and the speed slope. All of the tracks are FIS certified. Gudauri is also renowned for its freeriding opportunities down the virgin slopes. The deep snow and the absence of stones and any avalanche risk make Gudauri an extraordinary place for freeriding. Extremists can take extra doses of adrenaline on the ice walls in the Snow Park, which is the first locale for such activities in the Caucasus.
