Gudauri Ski Area to Be Increased 20%

Six cable cars are being built at the Gudauri  ski resort, resulting in a 20% bigger ski area. Gudauri is one of the most popular ski resorts in Georgia, having received worldwide recognition. In 2023, the World Freestyle and Snowboard Championship will be held there.

The resort is also building the second phase of a snowmaking system, which will be completed by the 2018 winter season. The first phase of artificial snowmaking in Gudauri was carried out in 2015.

The flow of tourists to Georgia is growing every year. The number of tourists at the four ski resorts in Georgia (Gudauri, Bakuriani, Goderdzi, Svaneti) has increased six times since 2011.
