What visitors say about the resort

Bakuriani is praised as a family-friendly resort and a good place to learn: the gentle slopes of Didveli, low prices and mild climate attract families with children and beginners. Visitors also mention the pine forest and peaceful atmosphere.

Criticism focuses on its size and terrain: there are no challenging pistes, and the ski area is enough for only a couple of days. Snow is another concern: the resort is lower than Gudauri, so in warm winters it relies on snow cannons. Visitors also complain about the scattered sectors and old lifts.
