New Gudauri

New Gudauri straddles the south-facing alpine slopes beneath the Greater Caucasus ridge in Mtskheta-Mtianeti, a position that has shaped it into a modern base for Gudauri Ski Resort. At around 2,000 metres above sea level, apartment buildings, restaurants and lift stations stand beside terrain rising towards Sadzele, among the resort’s highest lift-served points. Winter centres on skiing and snowboarding, while summer brings hiking and mountain biking to the slopes. The Georgian Military Road passes through Gudauri on its old north–south route across the mountains. Near Jvari Pass, the 1983 Russia–Georgia Friendship Monument recalls the Soviet-era relationship between the two republics.
