What visitors say about the resort

Shahdag is praised for being built from scratch, and it shows: modern gondolas, new hotels, well-groomed pistes and almost no queues. Visitors also highlight the views of the Greater Caucasus and prices lower than in Europe.

Criticism focuses on its size: there are only around 45 km of pistes, with limited challenging terrain. The second drawback is the journey from Baku, which takes almost four hours. Visitors also complain that there is little to do outside the resort hotels.
