A wonderful ski resort, there are no other words. We built a new cable car, new routes. However, when we were there, we weren't very lucky with the weather, but the weather was great last time.
The condition of the trails and prices are much inferior to any resort in the Caucasus. There are guns, but they are not used. As a result, there are bald spots on most trails.
The food at the resort is on average 3 out of 5 at prices at the level of the best restaurants in Moscow.
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
+
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 is the best ski resort, first of all, the prices are remarkably low compared to our resorts. In fact, our resorts cannot even compare Sochi with Gudauri.
There was a lot of snow, the skiing was great. The food in the restaurants is very average. The burger hood was coming out of our machines exactly. The windows do not support sound insulation. The snow near the apparatuses and in front of the lifts is poorly cleaned.
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.
I didn't like it. Half of the routes that are drawn on the map don't exist at all. The lifts start at 10:00. In normal resorts, they open the gurney at 8. There was enough snow, but no one bothered to prepare the track. Cars are almost on top of each other. The infrastructure is not thought out at all. In short, I strongly DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.
It was on New Year's Eve from 01.01.25 to 10.01
The price of a skipass is 2,800₽, which is great!
The tracks are not difficult. Mostly blue with chunks of red. There is only 1 red and black on the Kudeby down. What surprised me was the lack of queues at NG! I'll be back!
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
The tracks are not for beginners, something like Elbrus, but the wide tracks, the infrastructure is old, but the price tag is not expensive, there is no entertainment in the evening or I did not find it.

A review from a family of skiers/snowboarders with skiing experience in Europe, Arkhyz, Sheregesh. A resort with no developed infrastructure at all. The tracks are not marked at all. No fences, no signs. When the weather is sunny, you can take in all the tracks with your eyes-you won't get lost, there aren't many of them at all. But if it's snowing or foggy, that's it, it's unclear where to go. There are groups of people standing here and there wondering where to go. You say, "Yes, just go down." And that's what we did: we flew into a puddle, and there were rocks under it. There is only fast food on the mountain at a fantastic price: shawarma with chicken is 35 lari, which is 12 euros, and with beef - 50 lari, which is 18 euros somewhere. There are no cafe huts to go inside. No, I'm lying: there are 2 tables for 5-6, the rest is outside. There's nowhere to keep warm. Toilets : There are only 2 on the mountain. One is just a hole in the ground on the Firni descent, and the other is a cabin (it would be better not to go there). And most importantly! They won't waste the tracks!!! We came specially to the first podium, we were the first to get out of the booth, and no one was leveling the tracks since the evening.... There is not much snow on the tracks, if there were snow cannons and snow trucks would work as expected, everything would be different.
Rentals are normal. European equipment from previous seasons from rental.
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.
Like a Wheelchair - 5! As infrastructure - 2, in terms of getting from the hotel to the slope, there are no sidewalks, no footpaths, no minibuses, no parking facilities - from the far side, you need to walk along the highway with trucks along a dirty road with the option of being sprayed or knocked down.
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
Trails are not prepared with artificial snow when there is little natural snow... They say there is not enough water supply in the reservoir for full-fledged snowmaking with cannons. Snow trucks rarely go out on the tracks.
A guy on a snowmobile almost hit my son on the highway at the entrance to New Gudauri, it is very dangerous for tourists to ride along the slope shared with skiers, and the horror is that the most dangerous people are clearly employees who lead a group or go on some other business.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The resort is new, the wheelchair is not bad, the lifts are good. But the service is very mediocre, and the hardware turned out to be as uncomfortable as possible. An icy floor, a broken shower, an impolite receptionist. There's only one road to Tbilisi, and if it gets blocked, you can't get there. Prices are 20-30% lower than in Moscow. I liked Sheregesh better.
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🙈
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.
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)
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
There are better trails in Polyana at the end of the day than here in the morning. A lot of counterclones. Rocks on the highway. A village with chaotic buildings. Not impressed.
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.
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.
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.
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😅🙌
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
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.
Positive:
1. There is really a lot of plumpness for boarders
2. Decently cheaper than Sochi: accommodation (if you choose wisely) and ski passes
3. The lifts are good
4. There are a lot fewer people compared to Sochi
5. We found a hotel 15 minutes walk from the mountain, but with a transfer, a room with breakfast and dinner for three - 10k per day. Delicious, good, but there is no TV in the room and it can be cool
6. They say that there are no avalanches here)
7. Cheap SIM cards, 1000 rubles - unlimited for a week, there are limit options much cheaper
Minuses:
1. There is a certain hidden dislike for our people, it is exactly what you feel and certainly not with everyone.
2. There are a lot of flat areas for boarders and there is a reverse slope, sometimes you will have to unfasten
3. The tracks are very similar, rather they are all blue with occasionally red sections. Rather, it is rather one wide slope, in which they decided to make tracks somewhere, the rest is skiing next to the tpass
4. You may not arrive or leave the airport, as the road is closed during heavy snowfalls. And either wait a day or two in Vladik or you can not fly back. That's exactly what happened to us (
5. Prices in stores are noticeably higher than Moscow time
6. Well, there is absolutely nothing to do in Gudauri at all. If there is bad weather, then boredom is mortal, except to drive to Tbilisi (5k in 1 direction in 2.5 hours)
7. Even just walking is dangerous - there are no sidewalks, and packs of trucks are driving along the road
8. Crossing the border is a lottery, we passed both in an hour, and they say that at peak times you can stand for the whole day
9. The coolest spa for 50 bucks in Marco Polo is a complete fiasco, a 12m basik and one sauna and it's very cold, in the marriott in Krasnaya Polyana for the same money - an unrealistically cool complex
10. Since the resort is high, there may be problems with the respiratory tract or heart.
11. In two days you roll off all the tracks and on the third it's already boring)
12. The landscape is also of the same type, there is no forest, just a slope and that's it
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
