Three Ski Zones: Didveli, Kokhta, Mitarbi
Bakuriani is Georgia's premier multi-zone resort with 33km of trails and 12 MTA lifts, ranging from 1,641m to 2,702m. While the three main zones are not connected by trails, a single MTA ski-pass works across all of them.
Didveli — The most advanced and highest zone (up to 2,702m). It features 5 modern lifts: a 6-seat gondola (NODO), three chairlifts, and a tow lift. It offers artificial snow, night grooming, and is the only zone with night skiing until 10:00 PM daily. Includes the Didveli Kids Park and a toboggan run.
Kokhta — Reopened in 2016, this historic zone features two Doppelmayr chairlifts and 7.3km of trails ranging from a learning plateau to challenging black runs. Ideal for intermediate and advanced skiers.
Mitarbi — Directly connected to Kokhta, Mitarbi offers 9.9km of wide, scenic trails with a top station at 2,000m. It has a higher average incline and a reputation for "European-style" slopes.
Zones are located in different parts of the resort. The distance between Didveli and Kokhta-Mitarbi is about 4km. You can travel between them by taxi or the local Isuzu shuttle bus.
Note: Crystal Resort Area is a separate private complex. Its lifts are NOT part of the MTA system, and Bakuriani ski-passes do not work there.
