We left Moscow: a big city. A crowded city. A noisy city. A city that never sleeps. We traded it for a simple life in the mountains, where the main event of the day is a flock of sheep passing by the road or walking up the nearest hill.
The off-season in Gudauri is definitely a "dead" time for those who live here year-round.
Summer tourists, a couple of cafés and restaurants, and lifts that operate only on weekends...
In October, you barely see anyone. The lifts are on the mountains, hotels are preparing for the winter season, and the sun is shining. Snow covers only the peaks. It’s warm and cold at the same time, filled with silence and solitude.
What to do if you’re here like us, risking to stick to the sofa while on a PURI diet (puri is very tasty Georgian bread)?
We came at the end of October to prepare our chalets and apartments for the winter 2021/2022. The only way to fight against puri is trail running, discovering the surroundings of Gudauri until the snow covers the slopes and we can ski tour and ski.
We won’t tell you how to train to become a great trail runner and win the UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc), but we will definitely discover and show you many new routes just outside the door of the chalet or within a 5-10 minute drive.
