Georgia’s leading ski resort Gudauri has been identified by an international cultural website as one of the ten Must-Try Ski Resorts You Had No Idea Existed.

Gudauri was named alongside ski resorts in Scotland, Italy, India, Morocco and others as places worth visiting by culturetrip.com.

"Perched 2,000 metres up on the slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, some 120 kilometres north of the Georgian capital at Tbilisi, the Gudauri resort is certainly one to watch,” the website said.

It also noted in the last couple of years Gudauri had grown to become one of the "premier resorts in the entire Caucasus region”, touting a range of modern Doppelmayr lifts, 22 separate runs and an attractive base level of 1,900 metres.

"Further advancements are thought to be in store for the years ahead, with the 2014 season seeing the arrival of a new snow park and more hotels, bars and eateries flooding into the area in tow with the growing crowds,” the online addition said.
