Gudauri
Perched at roughly 2,200m in the Greater Caucasus, Gudauri is Georgia's largest and highest ski resort, with slopes that sit entirely above the tree line, making them unusually sunny and, resort operators say, avalanche-safe. Beyond winter sports, it's a stop on the dramatic Georgian Military Highway, with views toward Mount Kazbek and access to heli-skiing and ski touring in season.
