Bakuriani
ბაკურიანი
A long-established ski resort in Georgia at around 1,700 metres. The Didveli and Kokhta slopes have cable cars, and it is also good for hiking in summer.
Bakuriani lies about 30 km southeast of Borjomi at an elevation of roughly 1,700 metres. In the Soviet era it was a well-known ski training base. The main ski areas are Didveli, with modern cable cars and long runs, and Kokhta. The ski season runs from December to March, and slope prices are much lower than in the Alps. In summer, you can take the cable car up for views, go hiking or horse riding, and visit the botanical garden. The "Cuckoo" small train or a drive of about 40 minutes gets you there.
