The snow season is gradually opening in all winter resorts of Georgia, inviting winter enthusiasts across Georgia and from foreign countries to hit the slopes of Gudauri, Bakuriani, Svaneti and Goderdzi.
Following Gudauri, now the snow season has officially opened in Didveli - a modern sports and recreational destination in the heart of Bakuriani with the highest elevated spot of 2,700 m.
There are 14 km of seven different ski trails catering to all levels of skier, from beginners to veterans; some runs are fully equipped with snowmakers, which enables the resort to ensure a standard quality of snow.

Kokhta is a 3.1 km ski run with difficult and medium difficulty slopes. The upper part of the slope is rather difficult - the slope gradient is 52 percent and its trail runs through the fabulous fir wood plunged in snow.
Georgia’s Mitarbi mountain resort, located only four kilometers away from Bakuriani winter resort, has started a new life after a 30-year break in 2016. Today there are three cableways, two ski-lifts and one surface lift which are ready to serve the first guests this weekend.
