Truso Valley and Lake Abano
Mineral Lake Abano, located in the Truso Valley, is about half an hour’s drive from Gudauri. While small, measuring only about 20 meters in width, its depth remains a mystery. The lake bubbles merrily, emitting carbon dioxide, and the surrounding ground is colored a striking copper. This contrast is especially breathtaking in winter, when the white snow beautifully offsets the vibrant hues. During winter, access to the valley is only possible on foot, using snowshoes or ski touring.
