Winter Magic in Georgia – Discover the Mountain Resorts

Looking for a winter getaway that combines snowy fun, beautiful landscapes and warm hospitality? Georgia offers just that with resorts like Gudauri, Bakuriani and Tetnuldi in the heart of the Caucasus. In Gudauri you’ll find high-altitude slopes (up to over 3,200 m) and more than 70 km of runs for all ski levels, plus off-piste thrills, heli-skiing and freeride options in a stunning mountain setting just a couple of hours from Tbilisi. Meanwhile Bakuriani, perched at around 1,700 m elevation, offers gentle slopes ideal for families and beginners as well as a charming forested winter village atmosphere. What’s more, Georgia’s winter season extends from December through March or even April in some resorts, thanks to reliable snow and modern lift systems.

Traveling to Georgia in winter means more than skiing. You’ll enjoy cosy evenings in mountain lodges, taste hearty Georgian cuisine and warm hospitality, explore historic towns dusted with snow, and enjoy views of the dramatic Caucasus peaks. You can combine active days on the slopes with relaxing spa-time or take scenic drives along snowy mountain roads. Many resorts are less crowded than Western Europe’s big ski centres but still well equipped with lifts, rental gear and ski schools. Plus, for families or groups with mixed interests, you can find options from ski lessons for kids to snow-shoe walks and paragliding. With the right planning you’ll find great value accommodation, good food and a memorable winter holiday in a unique destination.
