Description

Gudauri ski resort is the main ski resort of Georgia and is situated on the southern slopes of the Caucasus Mountains at an altitude of 2,000m. About 2 hours from Tbilisi international airport, Guadauri sits in the centre of a spectacular landscape offering expansive snow fields, alpine forest and abundant sunshine.

On your first day you will arrive to Tbilisi International Airport where you will collected and transferred to the hotel 110km away, about a 2 hour minibus ride. The second to seventh days you will be out off-piste skiing and ski touring around Gudauri. There will be 1-2 hours maximum of skinning from the station ski lifts to access points of our descents.

Each day I will decide the programme depending on the weather, snow conditions and fitness level of the group members. On the eighth day you will be transferred in the morning to Tbilisi city where dinner will be provided along with accommodation in a hotel in the old centre of Tbilisi. On the ninth day you will be taken to the airport in time for your flight to your final destination.

From Gudauri there are ski lifts to the summit of 3300m and there are fantastic views of nearby Mt Kazbek which peaks at 5033m. This resort has many great possibilities for off-piste skiing and ski trekking using a combination of ski lifts and skins.

A wonderful aspect to this location is the fact that the locals almost never go off-piste or ski-touring which means the terrain offers vast areas of virgin snow and unrestricted tracks.

Additionally, depending on the weather and snow conditions, we can take a minibus to other parts of the valleys and discover typical villages that have managed to preserve their traditional cultures. We can also find here new opportunities for ski touring or heli-skiing.

This is a truly unique location to experience fluffy deep snow, traditional cultures and virgin snow fields. Sign up now and I’ll be waiting to get you out on the mountain!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
