Holidays in Gudauri (Georgia): tours from Almaty from 475,000 ₸

right away i'll say i didn't expect such a thrill from Gudauri. The manager picked a hotel so the windows looked right onto the slope — i drank tea and watched people skiing. i did ski myself though only three days, because my leg... old thing with my knee, screw it. but the lifts work great the cabins are warm and nobody pushes like back home on weekends. food downstairs — huge khinkali, i barely finished one and then sat like a boa for another hour, but the local wine is decent, not too sweet. one time i got stuck mid-slope when the fog rolled in, scary as hell but beautiful. The manager honestly did great sorting everything out without any hassle.. came back tanned though what tanning in the mountains, more like windburnt and happy i'd give six but they don't allow more than five)

Poskolku hochu na gory, poehaly v Gudauri cherez turagentstvo v Kazakhstane - letet bylo blizko i bez vizy, hotia vyborom operatora bila dovolna ne srazu. Poezdka v tselom normalnaia, no na odnoi progulke nam pomeniali gida v poslednii moment, i hotel s zautrakom okazalsia chut dalshe ot pod'emnikov chem obeshali, poetomu 4 iz 5.

took a tour to Gudauri with this agency and I was absolutely thrilled. The mountains are of course powerful, the air is icy and clean, but the main thing — the skiing, finally normal snow and not that artificial mush, although the lift stopped once for about twenty minutes. Came back tanned, happy, thanks for organizing everything without the hassle.

The trip to Gudauri turned out great, even though the road to the place took almost the whole day, but that's a trifle compared to what we saw there. The manager got everything done quickly, without extra running around, so I came back happy and would definitely give five, if not for those wasted half a day on the road.

таксиді танысым арқылы таптым, алматыдағы қарапайым контора, маңдайшасы жоқ дерлік - қой, қайтейін, гудауриге жеткізсе болды, себебі желтоқсанда шаңғы теппек болып жүрдім. хабарластық, төледім, құжаттар вотсапқа келді, бәрі нақты.. стамбул арқылы ұштық, онда төрт сағат күту, кофе өте қымбат, бірақ бұл менің мәселем, олардікі емес. гудауриде шаңғы көтерілетін жердің қасындағы кішкентай қонақүйде тұрдым, қожайын үнемі грузинше бірдеңе айтып күлімсірейтін, таңғы ас қарапайым, бірақ балконнан көрініс сондай — екі жүз лирлік кофені ұмытып кеттім. күн сайын шаңғы тептім, бір рет көтергішке кезек қырық минут болды, бірақ қар, күн және кешке хинкали бәрін жапты, қалтам бос болса да риза болып қайттым.

We went to Gudauri for my husband's work, he had a conference and I decided to take vacation and go with him for company. And those three days in the mountains turned out better than any beach vacation, even though I'm generally not a fan of activities and altitude changes. Gudauri in September is something incredible, the air is icy and clear, and the view from the cable car of the snowy peaks I still remember to this day.

i broke the coffee machine at home, and while i was looking for a repair guy i stumbled on a tour to Gudauri – booked it without thinking, because i just wanted to get away from the renovation. Flew through Istanbul, almost overslept my layover there.. but made it, and when the bus started climbing into the mountains i just sat and looked out the window. The food at the hotel was so-so, but the view from the balcony – onto the glacier, and every evening i dragged a cup of instant coffee up there, because there was no normal coffee in the room. Came home angry, tired and absolutely happy that i went on this trip

Took a tour to Gudauri and never regretted it once. The mountains, the air — everything like in a picture, but most of all I remember how I went out on the balcony in the morning and the clouds were just floating right under my feet, you won't see that in any hotel. The wi-fi in the room was catching pooorly, but that's a small thing, came back happy.

Гудауриде тау шаңғысы демалысы тамаша өтті, менеджер барып қайтуға кеңес берген соң бірден келістім. Биіктікте ауа райы күннен күнге өзгеріп тұрды, бірақ трассалар тамаша дайындалған, ал кешке қарай тау басындағы кішкентай кафеде тамақ ішіп отыру — жай ғана керемет әсер қалдырды. Қайтқанда чемоданымның түбінен таудан әкелген тастарды тауып алдым, сонда бір тәтті сезіммен есіме түсті, әлі күнге дейін сол күндерді сағынамын, рас.

Баланы Анапаға апар, деп әуре болып жүргенде, таныс қыз Гудауриды айтты да, біз сол жерге барып қалдық, себебі балаға тау ауасы керек еді, ал мен өзім тауды онша ұнатпаймын, бірақ бала үшін шыдадым. Барған соң бәрі ұнады, ауасы таза, адамдар жылы, тіпті қонақ үйдің алдындағы иті де жақсы еді, тек бір күні таңертең суық болды, сосын күн шықты, сонда бәрі жақсарып кеттті.

w Gurii poehali potomu chto drug posovetoval, u nego tam znakomye, a mne nado bylo snyat' etot god nakonets s etoy rabotoy - nu vy ponyali (( skazali chto zimoy tam normal'no, sneg i vse takoe. v tur agentstve kazahstanskom vzyal paket, vse chestno, bez podvohov, hotel' norm, kormili horosho, i gory eti - da, krasivo, no ya ne pro eto.

Was going to go snowboarding, but the local agencies had no proper winter tours at all, so I went with the ones who take people to Georgia.. Gudauri greeted us with snow and wind, the lifts were working, but a couple of days the slopes were just closed and we sat in a cafe drinking wine, I still don't get why they couldn't warn us in advance. Overall fine, the slopes were groomed well, came home with a banged-up knee but happy, four out of five

went to Gudauri for six days, the hotel is right by the lift, you come out in the morning and you're already there. the food, well... ok, but nothing to rave about, breakfast is the same every day. the room was cold the first day, they turned on the radiator only after i went to the reception. the slope itself — that's what the four is for, skied to my heart's content, there was enough snow, the runs were groomed. i took an instructor once, he explained things well, but i didn't take more, too pricey for me. in the evenings there's places to hang out — wine, khachapuri, all as it should be, though the music was blasting so loud you almost had to shout to talk. i lost my hat somewhere on the lift, still feel bad about it, it was a funny one. the way back took long, the road winds, i got really carsick.. overall i'd go again but with a different hotel.

we went to Gudauri with my daughter for a week, the hotel was ok, but the wi-fi in the room barely worked, had to sit at the reception — but the food was so good that after the climbs i ate like there was no tomorrow. the weather in october is weird, hot during the day demanding a jacket in the evening, but the air and the mountains — i havent seen anything like that since childhood, and i didnt ski much, mostly walked, in the shashlik place below us a guy sang so that i almost cried.

went to Gudauri because I wanted to ride and in Kazakhstan the mountains are not it, and there is no normal snow either - took the tour through an agency in Almaty, a normal one, no tricks, but the transfer and the place worked out fine. the lifts of course, are a bit old and the line in the morning is annoying, but the snow at the end of October.. it settled good and I rode till evening, came back happy

Kupil tur po Gruzii, Gudauri. Ne znayu chto tam za gory, no ya hotel prosto ot vsego otdohnut, i mne eto udalos. Snyal nomer, hotel normalnyy, no vot televizor ne rabotal, no eto me lochi, ya zhe ne za etim ehal.

I went to Gudauri because I needed a reset from work, and the travel agency suggested this option - I decided to risk it and didn't regret it. The mountains there are of course powerful, I skied with pleasure, but the local cuisine honestly didn't impress me (khachapuri seems ok, but khash... yuck), though maybe I just didn't get the taste, but I came back rested and happy, 5 out of 5.

went to Gudauri — well finally. waited for the bus about an hour and a half, nobody explained anything, but the manager sent the route and it sort of eased off. these mountains... won't talk about the beauty, will talk about the point: the lift creaked, but the views are such that i almost dropped my phone. the cable car ran until five, me and my guy made it to the last ascent and then hung around in a cafe on the slope for another hour. the food is simple — khachapuri, tea in a faceted glass, i think i overapdi for the cheese but tasty. on the way back we rode in silence, legs were buzzing, i'm happy with the trip

Bought a package in Almaty for Gudauri, seven days. It's all fine, but with caveats. The hotel is down by the road, the lift up to the gondola is by bus, sometimes you wait half an hour. The manager told me about the transfer right away and didn't lie. Breakfasts are the same every day, but filling, the coffee is really awful though. From the room there's a view of the mountains, in the evening I sat on the balcony in a jacket. Dragged my own skis for nothing, the rental next to the hotel is cheaper.

I was planning to go to Kazbegi but at the last moment an acquaintance talked me into dashing off to Gudauri to ski, even though I'd never been to the Caucasus before and generally doubted whether it was worth it. We arrived, checked in, went out on the slope in the morning — the views just blow you away, the lifts are fine there's not much of a queue, though the rental prices down below are a bit steep and the helmet they gave me had a scratch but that's no big deal. Overall five stars, came back happy and already thinking about next season.

took a tour to Georgia, specifically Gudauri, because I wanted mountains, not all that beach stuff, and a friend said the air there feels different, so I fell for it honestly. the hotel was ok, food was decent, though the coffee in the morning was such that tea would've been better, and the wifi in the lobby worked every other time, but the view from the balcony—that's it, that's what you put up with everything for. we rode the lift, legs were buzzing for two days after, but I'd go again, only the transfer back was delayed almost an hour and that soured it.

went to Gudauri because my husband got a wild hair to go skiing and i'm not a skier at all, well i thought i'd just walk around the village breathe the air and take pics of those very mountains that are always in the clouds. ended up going down a couple of beginner slopes, almost killed myself a couple times of course, but the instructor turned out patient explained everything ten times even though i kept mixing up right and left, freaked out over little things and generally acted like a chicken, god forgive me) they fed us in the local cafes so i came home plus three kg and that's even though i usually only drink coffee for breakfast but there i ate khachapuri every morning . and another thing i remember is touching the snow with my hands which squeaks like styrofoam, a small thing it seems but for some reason important to remember. . anyway even though i'm not a skier at all i came back from this trip happy and i'm already thinking maybe i should go again only this time in summer. and anyway i voted for the beach but it was the best tr

booked a tour to Georgia, Gudauri — wanted to ski, my own mountains are already boring, and we don't really get snow anyway. Called, the manager sorted everything out fast, without all those long conversations. Arrived — mountains, air.. beautiful, though the wind nearly knocked me off my feet a couple of times. Skied, ate khinkali, one time I almost lost a ski on the lift, but that's small stuff. Came back happy.

Гудауриға бардық, таулар сондай – тыныс ала алмайсың. менеджер бәрін тез реттеді, онсыз мына трансферлермен әбден шатасар едім. соңғы күнге дейін шаңғы тептім, дегенмен маған берген шаңғылары қандай да бір қираған, майланбаған есік сияқты сықырлады. дәмді тамақ берді, хачапуриді күн сайын жедім және бірде-бір рет жалықпадым) қарайып және бақытты оралдым

flew to celebrate my husband's anniversary, he's a fanatical skier, and me, just for company, and you know, Gudauri turned out to be exactly what's needed for those who never stood on a board. the local instructor chased me for two hours on the kiddie slope, yelled that I hold my poles like a broom. was scary the first time getting off the lift.

vzyala tur na Gruziyu posmotret na gory, potomu chto u podrugi vse letalo tuda katatsya, a mne nado bylo smenit obstanovku posle raboty. prichyom tuda, imenno v Gudauri... ne znala dazhe gde eto no pofig. Menedzher podskazala gde zakazat transfer iz Tbilisi i vsyo sweatsya bez nervov, hotya ya vsegda vso delayu v posledniy moment. doroga bila dolgaya, no neujasno krasivaya, ya vsu darogu smotrela v okno i molela. zhili v ochen prostom guesthouse, matrasy skripeli, no nam bylo veselo) utrom vstali v 6 na pod'yomnik, veter duyet tak chto shutku schutish, a potom naverh i tam uzhe vsyo ravno. zahodila v malenkuyu kafeshku ryadom, brala hachapuri i goryachiy chay, stoilo nedorogo. na sklone ya upala dva raza, no smeyalas i snova vstavala, instuktor molodoy postoyanno podskazyval kuda ruchku dat. voobshe poezdka udalas, hochu ewe!

bought a tour to Gudauri, everything went fine, the hotel was right by the lift, went riding every day, though once the lift was being fixed for like two hours, stood there freezing and pissed off, but then got my fill of riding. The manager picked a decent option, even though he did it all on the fly, came back happy but those downtime on the slope did spoil the impression of course...

went through an agency in almaty, wanted georgia but not a beach one, the mountains — they asked why, i say i want some cool and to clear my head, so they suggested gudauri though i never even heard of such a place honestly thought it was only tbilisi and batumi and that was it. and we flew into tbilisi from there by car to these mountains the road is long but the views are such that the phone climbs into your hand by itself and when we went up top the air there is completely different, drank wine from a clay jug in some little courtyard where an old man sat and peeled walnuts and although the guesthouse was decent but the hot water came and went and also those cows yelling under the window in the morning really like an alarm clock at five am but i still gave it five because i have never seen anything like this anywhere else

Bought a tour to Gudauri for a week at one of our agencies and was very happy, though a couple of little things still bugged me. The hotel turned out to have a mountain view, breakfasts simple but filling, and the ski lifts didn't work every day because of the wind, but that's nature, and overall 5 out of 5 — would go back there again.

bought a tour to Gudauri and didn't regret it, if you close your eyes on the road from Tbilisi which took whole five hours instead of promised three and we were shaking all that time in a minibus without a normal heater it's february after all... But the village itself, the hotel right by the lift - you come out in the morning and there you are already on the mountain, though the skis had to be carried with you because the rental worked only until six, and I wanted to ride while it's light.

Bought a tour to Gudauri at this very agency, hit the slopes, rode like a crazy person. Only once the ski track let me down, or rather, the bus to the lift, but overall fine, four.

My vacation got approved at the last minute, so I went to the first agency I came across, well, and booked there. I was planning to go skiing, but I didn't really bother with the choice, as long as they got me to the mountains and back. The manager sorted everything out quickly, though I had to wait about forty minutes for the paperwork, but after that there were no surprises. The trip to Gudauri took a whole day and in reality I sat more than breathed fresh air, but the ski lifts were working and the instructor turned out to be decent. Five out of five, I'll come again.

booked the tour to Gudauri to finally go snowboarding, because the last few years winter just never worked out, either work, or this, or that, and so I finally went for it, even though people I know tried to talk me out of it, saying it's expensive there and the service isn't what it used to be, but I went anyway and never once regretted it, though a couple of things did get on my nerves, to be honest. the mountains are beautiful, the riding is great, there was plenty of snow, but the cable car queue in the morning is just a nightmare, I stood there for about forty minutes and nearly froze to death, but then up top it's so good that you forget about everything, I came back happy though tired as a dog

Took a tour to Gudauri to go snowboarding, because my own mountains got boring and I wanted something new. Overall I liked everything, the place was basic - water in the shower came and went, but thats small stuff compared to the views of the Caucasus, and the manager sorted everything out fast when I called about the transfer. Came back happy, even with an empty wallet, but it was worth it.

Gudauri is of course not for the faint of heart, but I'm thrilled. Snow, mountains, air — all as it should be. I rented skis right by the lift, and that's when it started... The insturctor turned out patient, even though I fell every five meters. Came back with bruises but happy, five out of five!

We skied in Gudauri to our heart's content, though the hotel turned out a bit away from the lifts — we had to stomp about ten minutes in boots over the gravel, but in the morning there's silence and a view of the mountains from the window. The manager quickly processed all the documents before the flight, I didn't even manage to get properly nervous. The food in the local cafe is a whole separate song: the Adjarian khachapuri is so good that I didn't think about anything else for two days after. There was plenty of snow, the slopes were groomed fine, but a couple of times on the lift I got really frozen, the wind blows right through you. The instructor turned out young but sharp, showed how to properly shift your weight in the turns. There's not much to do after skiing, the karaoke downstairs is so-so, but for me and my friend it was enough. I came back with a bruise on my knee and a wild desire to go back to the same place, only this time with proper thermal underwear. Five out of five, no questions.

Bought a tour to Gudauri, didn't really choose, just wanted mountains. And here I am standing on the slope, snow crunching under my boots, wind in my face — thought that's it, I'm done for. The instructor was calm, showed me how to hold the poles, I fell like five times, but got up and went again. They fed us at the local cafe khachapuri and khinkali, portions huge, after lunch I couldn't ski anymore — just sat by the window and looked at the mountains. The room at the hotel was small, the radiator heated so much that I slept with the window open. Came back with a bruise on my knee and a wild desire to buy my own skis. Five out of five, of course.

took a tour to Gudauri through the agency and didnt regret it — the mountains there are of course epic but the lift worked every other time even though the weather was great and that kind of messed up the plans, but the air and the views made up for it all big time. They put me in a decent guesthouse, the host turned out to be a sweetheart, fed me so much that I could barely fit into my jeans afterwards, all in all the trip was a solid five.

The trip turned out okay, but with some catches. We stayed in a hotel right by the lift — convenient, no need to drag skis across the whole village, only the wi-fi in the room worked off and on, had to sit in the lobby. The food was simple, no frills — porridge, eggs, cheese, but the coffee was decent, not instant. The instructor was a good one, showed a couple of tricks on the slope, I finally skied with more confidence, though before that I fell more than I skied. One day they closed the slope because of wind, there was nothing to do, we went walking around the village, found a little cafe with khinkali — that's what stuck in my memory. I came back with a slight disappointment that we skied less than I wanted, but overall satisfied

I was planning to go to Gudauri to ski, but I didn't have my own gear, and renting on the spot turned out more expensive than bringing it. I called the agency, asked about a tour with rentals — they included everything, transfer, accommodation, and ski pass, so I didn't have to worry. We flew through Tbilisi, from there about three hours by bus, the road is fine, only the mountain pass is switchbacks — I got carsick, even though I'm usually not the impressionable type. In Gudauri the snow was good, the slopes clean, but the lifts are old and at lunch there's a line, you stand for about twenty minutes, and that's infuriating. The guest house was decent, the hosts fed us well, though the room was chilly at night — had to sleep in a sweater and socks, romance. The rental gave me skis that were pretty alive, the boots were beat up though, on the second day I got a blister, put a band-aid on it and kept skiing. I give it a 4, minus for the lifts and for having to shift the dates because of the group forming — but I stayed happy with the tour, came back with a tan and photos from Kazbegi.
