Destination guide
Gudauri built its reputation as Georgia's main ski resort, high in the Caucasus along the Georgian Military Highway, and a car here is as much about the dramatic drive up as the resort itself. Outside ski season, the same road and cable cars work for hiking and mountain views.
Route ideas by car
Continuing north on the Georgian Military Highway takes you toward Stepantsminda and the Gergeti Trinity Church, one of Georgia's most photographed sights, with the road climbing further before descending toward the Russian border area.
Local rental tips
This stretch of highway can close temporarily after heavy snow or landslides, more often in winter — check current conditions before setting out, especially if continuing beyond Gudauri toward Stepantsminda.
