Gudauri

Gudauri runs in two modes. In winter it is the country’s main ski resort; in summer a paragliding base and an obligatory stop on the way to Kazbegi.

What to see

  • The Friendship of Peoples arch — a 1983 viewing platform with a mosaic over the drop at the Jvari pass.
  • The Jvari pass — 2,379 metres, the highest point of the Military Road.
  • The ski slopes — runs of all levels plus off-piste.
  • Paragliding — launches straight from the slopes above the village.

When to go

December to April for snow, June to September for green slopes and flying. May and November are the in-between months: the lifts are still and the trails are either not yet or no longer clear.
