A large number of trails, all trails are well prepared. There are many different routes. The resort has a lot of ski rentals and special ski equipment. Kind and friendly people. There are few ill-disposed people towards Russians (
There are many tourists from Russia, Israel, Ukraine, and a huge number of locals on weekends. Queues for lifts are minimal with a mustache of local arrivals. The slopes are mostly blue. The mountains are a bit difficult for beginners. A lot of broken arms and legs. There is always an opportunity to take an instructor and roll back the equipment or even get on skis. The weather was magical. Very beautiful nature. The mountains are magical . There are a lot of cafes on the slope. You won't stay hungry.
We were in the summer. We stopped to rest and spend the night. A great place to relax. Clean air, excellent views of the Caucasus mountains. well-maintained territory and a hotel. There are shops and restaurants.
For the second year we have been vacationing with my wife in New Gudauri in February. Beautiful trails, wonderful nature, soulful atmosphere, unique nature, and Georgian cuisine ... "lick your fingers ", khachapuri, kinzmarauli, khinkali. I want to come back again. From the negative side, the high exchange rate of the lari-ruble, Ukrainian flags at the entrance to the Drunken Cherry bar, sometimes you hear from vacationers about stolen equipment. If the winter is snowy, the trails are on fire, they say that the Austrians designed the resort in the distant 2000s.
In principle, it's not a bad place. For some reason, I want to call this resort a home ...
In general, we liked it, we enjoyed skiing. There are few trails, but everyone will find something interesting. Gudauri is especially good for beginners.
The people working at the resort are friendly (mostly)
Of the minuses, I would like to mention the terrible transit road that cuts through the resort. It makes dirt and noise.
The presence of Ukrainians in the service points: Ukrainian flags and boorish offensive inscriptions on advertising media
Wild behavior on the slopes and lifts of some "mountaineers". Quite often, some kind of incomprehensible landing is practiced without a queue from somewhere on the side. A man with a beard just stands in the middle of the chair, and those waiting in line have to decide which of them is superfluous. There is confusion. This character can sit on two chairs at once. The rest, again, must solve a difficult task for those who did not have enough space. Unfortunately, you need to be prepared for such savagery
Mountaineers are often found flying along the highway in a straight line in the form of a "scrap" with wild screams.
A beautiful place, high-altitude, a good hotel, large rooms, everything you need, a cable car nearby, there is a restaurant, a spar store. Cozy, nice, beautiful
The first time in Gudauri ( after Europe) was on New Year 's Eve . The weather is great, the trails are empty, there are no queues at the lifts. The views are magnificent! Who loves Christmas trees - there are no Christmas trees. Space. The trails are wide and well maintained. The difficulty is average, but it's very much fun to drive from above. The food in the restaurants is delicious, even too tasty in places.
Of the cons:
- slow lifts
-grocery stores - with a poor choice ( we brought them from Tbilisi - it just saved us )
- pedestrians on the slopes and chairlifts - falling, stumbling - often stop the lifts because of them
-slowness in restaurants is critical
A cool and well-maintained ski resort. The tracks are diverse from amateurs to pros, ski passes are not expensive, as well as equipment at the rental. Lifts of all kinds, many cafes and recreation areas, friendly staff, but Russian cards are not accepted.
A great place for a wheelchair. I recommend it to everyone! Wide trails, many different firefighters, delicious cafes on the mountain. There are experienced instructors. And the views from the peaks are amazing. Especially on the Kobi highway, where at the end of the highway you can enjoy the grandeur of Mount Kazbek.
Excellent GLK👍 a lot of trails, everyone will find their own, both beginner and pro. I liked the Kobi highway, it goes to the other side of the mountain, there is a view of Kazbek. In sunny weather, incredible, stunning views of the mountains! The picturesque, narrow Tetra 2 highway has a huge number of people, but due to the large number of lifts, there were no queues. They spend money efficiently, since the very morning it is one bliss to ride👍😍
How beautiful it is here! There are a lot of lifts, the views of the mountains are fantastic. Reasonable price for ski lifts and ski rental and everything you need. Expensive food in local cafes, 1200 Russian rubles for pizza. But considering the number of foreign tourists, I think this is a common price for them.
Block No. 4 in New Gudauri is a very convenient location for living. You can go down from the mountain directly to the door of the ski depot. The lift is 50 meters away on the flat, you can ski or walk. I recommend taking apartments on the 2nd floor and above with Windows to the courtyard, then there will be no noise from the restaurant on the 1st floor and from the clearing opposite the lift, music is often turned on loudly there. Of the disadvantages, only the flimsy entrance doors of the apartments with poor sound insulation, the corridor can be heard very well. In the photo from the gondola, building 4 is on the far right.

Wonderful modern lifts.
Very comfortable and pleasant trails.
There are many good and delicious restaurants.
-
Bad heavily congested driveway
There are no hotels - only mixed apartments
Lack of navigation on the slopes (there are no maps and signs, but there are track numbers and milestones)
Quiet skiing for the family, the slides are wide and comfortable. The tracks are mostly blue and some are green. For fans of extreme Black and red trails, I don't think you'll like it very much. There are restaurants below and on the mountain, the prices are not cheap as everywhere in the mountains. Snow is poorly cleaned near houses, because of this, everyone walks on the roads. There is a store downstairs, the assortment is small, but you can save money. I liked it, I'll go again.
This year, unlike last year, there was a lot of snow and the impression immediately improved. The trails are great, the weather is great. Incredibly beautiful mountains! There are too many people on weekends, there are queues for lifts. Prices in shops and restaurants are no longer Georgian, but comparable to European ones. A big disadvantage is the currency exchange. He is immorally predatory.
A good ski resort. The prices are quite affordable for ski passes, but the rental of equipment and clothing is quite high. So take everything with you. There are many different restaurants. Beautiful view from the mountain. But personally, I missed the forest and the trees
A good ski resort, excellent ski lifts, friendly atmosphere, majestic mountains. Mulled wine is simply the best in the world. Descents of varying degrees of difficulty, you can rent all the equipment.
The mountains are great trails too (when there is snow). But the service (there is no information about anything that is open, that is not) and the riding culture (there are a lot of fast-driving incompetents, where beginners and children ride) are very low. The rental is generally of poor quality. Food and Georgia as a whole are not compatible (khachapuri and khinkali). There is nowhere to eat meat normally, as well as fish (be prepared to eat bread and dough derivatives, walnuts and boiled varieties of meat and poultry). You can put a confident 5 for the views and trails and there is a lot to grow.
My impression of summer Gudauri. This place has settled in my heart forever. It's an amazing place. When you open your eyes in the morning, and there are mountains of extraordinary beauty in front of you. And the night sky... The feeling that you can reach the stars.
I put a solid 5 for nature, views and beauty!I'm a skier, I liked all the trails.This is what drowned out the negative aspects.In 10 days there were only two days when there were queues, one lift broke down once, there was a long queue.I liked the infrastructure most of all in new Gudauri, there is a shop and various cafes.But the service in the establishments wants to leave the best, a biased attitude, zero friendliness.Only in one restaurant out of several, we were received cordially and affably.I didn't like mulled wine anywhere at all.Apreski can be said not at all.
Wide, well-prepared trails. There are many trails. The lifts are free. We had a great ride. Minus: one day for half an hour, the second day all lifts stopped for two hours. The loss of time and the cost of the skipass do not compensate for having nothing to do at this time, except to drink expensive coffee
In summer, it is empty, there is only one restaurant for the whole village, there are no exchangers, and they also did not find shops in novy Gudauri. You can take a ride on the cable car and that's it)it is better to come in winter.
I only liked the room. But Switzerland is far from how this place wants to present itself there. We were in May, it was not yet the season, of course, there was one cafe where a very negative attitude towards Russians is very visible and a shop where there is not a large selection of products.
An ideal place for skiing. The trails are well maintained, there are no queues. The price of all equipment and food is much lower than at similar resorts. But it should be borne in mind that the resort itself is just beginning its development. Therefore, if you need a good wheelchair and delicious Georgian food, come here
A gorgeous place where everything is always gorgeous . And in winter and summer , and in spring and autumn . The only disadvantage is the lack of exchangers in the off-season
I was in March before all the events
Excellent budget prices for lifts
I lived near the 1st lift stop in the apartments and had a great time! We used the services of the snow lab company to descend into the kudeli gorge to the narzan spring! The coolest trip experiences
As a ski resort, a great place! Tracks for any level of difficulty. I've been there twice and I'm completely happy with the tracks! Well, everything else, although it lags behind the quality of service from the same Krasnaya Polyana, but there is a completely different pricing policy.
There is a FIRE... The temperature during skating is very comfortable. The view is incredibly beautiful. The lifts are poorly loaded, although there are a lot of people, from 4 to 8 places, and a large number of lifts make skiing extremely comfortable, you can roll away... The staff is polite and friendly.
A great ski resort. Inexpensive skipasses. Housing could be cheaper, but this is generally a problem in Georgia. The lifts will open at 10. Rent a complete set for skiing 35 GEL. There are a lot of fun places to go in the evening. I liked.
A pretty little town on the Georgian military road. A ski resort with wonderful views and interesting trails. There is a comfortable cable car through the Krestovy Pass to Kobi for 45 lars.
I had a rest here in January, my impressions are positive. Good infrastructure, no queues for lifts. I really liked the hotel where I stayed - Gudarui Lodge. Rental, skipass, everything can be taken on site. When you leave the hotel, you immediately get on the highway. Friendly staff, good cuisine.
The longing is green, there is nothing to do.It seems like a resort, but there are no entertainment events, no excursions, and even in the Drunken Cherry restaurant there are stickers on the doors humiliating Russia and our president!!! And they take money from Russians regularly! It's disgusting!!! Aunts in all black with their faces covered walk around with their men, at first we shied away from them! It's creepy!!!
We stopped by in the summer, on our way to Russia from Tbilisi. I was impressed by everything: the lifts, their total length, the stations in the right places. And of course, the beauty of these places, it's impossible to break away. I'm planning to ride in winter now
Beautiful and modern ski resort of Georgia. Modern hotels, beautiful views. Beautiful mountains. Responsive staff, there are shops, restaurants, cafes. I recommend it for those who are going to Georgia.
A modern ski resort in Georgia. Excellent accommodation. All amenities. Several substations are within walking distance. Beautiful, convenient, functional. Well-organized infrastructure
A great ski resort, the prices are really high at the cable car itself for housing, but it's just super! There are no queues for lifts!!! The trails are excellent. If you are bored in the evening and have strength left, there is a place to spend time.) Rescuers are working perfectly, unfortunately tested on themselves🙈
The best ski resort we have been to (Elbrus, Arkhyz, Dombai) gorgeous trails, skiing without stopping, and most importantly no queues. We will definitely come back
one of the best ski resorts in the Caucasus. There is a large selection and the total length of the trails. the location of the apartments is close to the lifts. good heights. It's not the first time we've been riding
The apartment is in good condition, everything you need is provided! On the plateau there are bars, cafes, restrooms, a shop, the whole info structure! Mountains are a credit, a huge skiing area! The only drawback is that ₽ has fallen, it has become more expensive)
I like. It's not the first time here. There are enough slides, new ones are constantly opening. The lifts are modern. The prices for skipass are reasonable. The trails are wide and there is a lot of freeride.
It's a good ski resort, but there are a lot of problems with navigation, it's easy to go on a freeride or get confused. The lifts are reliable, the trails are pleasant.
The price tag is really a little too high, I can't recommend restaurants nearby because of unreasonably high prices.
Gudauri. Gptchat recommended me to spend time at this ski resort when I asked him about it and listed the places where we were. And she gave wishes, good trails, modern equipment, the proximity of lifts, the opportunity to see another country and it is desirable that there were more sunny days.
Everything coincided, I recommend the place.
There aren't many people. They ride in different ways, there are many students.
It's a great wheelchair. Beautiful view of the mountains. Wide trails, of which there are many. From simple to very cool. If you go with a company, then everyone needs to have a connection. You can get lost on the slope. Accommodation can be rented right next to the lift.
I recommend the Red Wine restaurant for the evening
February 2024: a large number of lifts, all working well. The trails are a class. It was the first time, there were a lot of impressions, all positive. Those that are conditionally negative are small in that there is no ideal. And what exists is in Gudauri😅🙌
Good. Nicely. Comfortable. There is a lot of snow. The lifts are different, there are many of them. Prices are lower than Russian ones. I recommend. The height difference is almost a thousand meters. I miss you already
Плюсы:
1. Доскерам реально много пухляка
2. Прилично дешевле сочи: проживание (если выбирать с умом) и скипасы
3. Подъёмники хорошие
4. Народу прям сильно меньше по сравнению с Сочи
5. Мы нашли отель 15 мин пешком от горы, но зато с трансфером, номер с завтраком и ужином на троих - 10к в сутки. Вкусно, хорошо, но в номере нет тв и бывает прохладно
6. Говорят что тут не бывает лавин)
7. Дешёвые симки, 1000 рублей - безлимит на неделю, есть лимитные варианты сильно дешевле
Минусы:
1. Есть некая скрытая неприязнь к нашим, ее именно что чувствуешь и конечно не со всеми.
2. Для Доскеров много плоских участков и встречается обратный уклон, иногда придётся отстегиваться
3. Трассы очень однотипные, скорее это синие все с изредка красными участками. Вернее это скорее один широкий склон, в котором где то решили сделать трассы, остальное - катание рядом с тпассой
4. Можно не приехать и не уехать из аэропорта, так как при сильных снегопадах закрывают дорогу. И либо жди день - два во владике или можно не улететь обратно. Вот с нами именно это и произошло (
5. Цены в магазинах прям ощутимо выше мск
6. Ну прям вообще абсолютно нечего делать в гудаури. Если будет непогода - то скука смертная, разве что в Тбилиси сгонять (5к в 1 сторон за 2.5 часа)
7. Даже просто пройтись опасно - нет тротуаров, а по дороге едут стаи фур
8. Пересечение границы - лотерея, мы прошли за час обе, а говорят что в пиковые моменты можно простоять и целый день
9. Спа самый крутой за 50 баксов в марко поло - это полное фиаско, басик 12м и одна сауна и очень холодно, в мариотте в красной поляне в те же деньги - нереально крутой комплекс
10. Так как курорт высокий - то могут быть проблемы с дыхалкой или сердцем.
11. За два дня укатываешь все трассы и на третий уже скучно)
12. Пейзаж так же однотипный, леса нет, просто склон и всё
The slopes are super prepared, the lifts and trails are excellent. But the accommodation and restaurants are not very good. A good place for 2-3 days. The price/quality combination is good
If there is snow and the sun is shining in Gudauri, and you want to go skiing, then you will get great pleasure from skiing. There are many places to stay near the mountain.
If you are a beginner, then do not skimp on the insulator. If you are an experienced skier, then you will find a wide variety of trails and experiences.
