Ski Slopes
The natural conditions in Gudauri turned out to be the main prerequisite for developing a mountain ski resort. The first cable car was built in 1988. Today, Gudauri has 14 cable cars, most of which were built by the well-known Austrian company Doppelmayr. The lower lift station sits at 1,993 meters above sea level, while the upper one reaches 3,276 meters. The lifts operate daily from 10:00 to 16:00.
Gudauri's ski slopes are suited to skiers of every level. The total length of the slopes is 70 kilometers, spread across 20 runs. The slopes fall into four difficulty categories: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and professional. Gudauri is also a great spot for off-piste and freeride skiing, thanks to its steep terrain. The climate in Gudauri is dry, and the snow cover reaches 1–2 meters.
