About the road from Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) to Gudauri
Tbilisi Airport to Gudauri is about 138 km and takes roughly 2 hours 30 minutes, entirely along the Georgian Military Highway. You leave the airport, pass Mtskheta, then follow the Aragvi upstream past the Ananuri fortress on its reservoir before the road begins climbing in earnest towards the Jvari Pass at 2,395 m. Gudauri sits on the south-facing slopes just below the pass and is Georgia's main ski resort — in summer the same road carries paragliders and hikers instead. Going direct from the airport is common in winter because flights and ski transfers rarely line up with buses.
Tips for this trip
In winter this is a mountain road: the Jvari Pass can close at short notice in heavy snow, and when it does there is no alternative route. Keep your plans flexible on arrival day and give the driver your flight number so a delay does not cost you the transfer. Ask for ski and board space when you book — a sedan will not take a family's equipment. Ananuri is directly on the road and adds about twenty minutes if you want the stop. Temperatures at 2,000 m are far below Tbilisi's; do not wait until you arrive to unpack a warm layer.
