About the Complex
Petra Ski Resort is a new premium-class ski project in the Gudauri settlement, located at an altitude of over 2,000 meters in the heart of the Greater Caucasus mountain range. The complex unites ten buildings constructed using monolithic reinforced frame technology and is aimed at enthusiasts of active winter recreation. The project includes three five-story Swissotel buildings: blocks «R», «S», and «Q», with construction starting in the fourth quarter of 2025 and completing by the end of 2028. The architecture harmoniously blends into the mountain landscape, while the interior combines top-tier hotel service with the privacy of private residences. The project comprises 705 apartments with "white frame" or "turnkey" finishing options.
Advantages
The main advantage of Petra Ski Resort is its direct proximity to the ski slopes of Gudauri, one of the best resorts in the Caucasus. The complex provides property owners with access to five-star service under the Swissotel brand. Round-the-clock security, video surveillance and concierge service ensure safety and comfort. The infrastructure is carefully thought out: a private spa center, swimming pool, gym, yoga room and even an après-ski bar. For skiers, special ski lockers and a ski storage room are provided. The well-planned concept allows combining slope recreation with relaxation in the wellness area without leaving the complex grounds.
Location
Petra Ski Resort is located in the Gudauri settlement, on the Georgian Military Road connecting Tbilisi and Vladikavkaz. The resort lies on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus mountain range at an altitude of approximately 2,200 meters above sea level. This area is known for its long ski season — from December to April — as well as its picturesque panoramas of mountain peaks. The distance from Tbilisi is about 120 kilometers, making the resort accessible for weekend trips. Clean mountain air, abundant snow and the absence of large industrial facilities create a unique microclimate favorable for relaxation and recovery.
Surroundings
Gudauri is surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Caucasus, the most famous of which is Mount Sadzele. The landscape consists of alpine meadows transitioning into snow-covered slopes, and in summer — into blooming valleys. In close proximity are the resort's ski lifts and cable cars, providing access to dozens of kilometers of trails of varying difficulty levels. The settlement features Georgian cuisine restaurants, souvenir shops and ski equipment rental points. Nature lovers will appreciate views of the Cross Pass and the Aragvi River gorge. The resort's infrastructure is actively developing, attracting more investors and tourists.
Transport
Petra Ski Resort can be reached via the Georgian Military Road, an international highway. The drive from Tbilisi takes about two hours, and the road surface is maintained in good condition year-round. In winter, the road is regularly cleared of snow. An underground parking facility is provided for guests on the complex grounds. The nearest international airport is Tbilisi Shota Rustaveli Airport, receiving flights from major cities in Europe, the Middle East and CIS countries. Transfers and taxis operate from the airport to Gudauri. A transfer option from Vladikavkaz through the "Verkhniy Lars" checkpoint is also available.
Complex Features
Each of the ten buildings of Petra Ski Resort is constructed using monolithic reinforced frame technology, ensuring structural reliability and seismic resistance. The buildings are five stories high, preserving intimacy and avoiding overload of the mountain landscape. The interior spaces are equipped with elevators. The complex comprises 705 apartments offered with two finishing options: "white frame" for custom design and "turnkey" for quick occupancy. Security is provided by a three-level system: 24/7 video surveillance, physical security and concierge service in the lobby. Engineering systems are designed with mountain operating conditions in mind, guaranteeing uninterrupted performance in any season.
Landscaping
The landscaped grounds of Petra Ski Resort organically combine walking areas, relaxation spaces and landscape greenery. In the warm season, alpine grasses and flower beds enliven the spaces between buildings, while in winter priority is given to cleared pathways and architectural lighting. The grounds feature open relaxation areas with panoramic mountain views. The complex offers its own swimming pool, available to residents year-round, as well as a spa and wellness center with a full range of restorative treatments. Conference halls allow combining business activities with ski recreation. Cafes, a restaurant and an après-ski bar form a gastronomic cluster right on site.
Sales
Sales of apartments at Petra Ski Resort are open. All three first-phase buildings — Swissotel «R», «S» and «Q» — are in the construction stage, with work scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2025. Completion of construction and key handover are planned for the fourth quarter of 2028. Buyers are offered apartments in five-story buildings, with a total of 705 lots. Finishing options available: "white frame", allowing for individual design, and "turnkey" for those who want to move in immediately after the building is completed. Purchase terms and current prices are available at the developer's sales office.
Developer
The Petra Ski Resort project is being implemented by Petra Sea Resort, a developer with experience in creating iconic resort properties in Georgia. The developer's portfolio already includes successful projects in the coastal zone of Batumi, and the company is now expanding its presence into the mountain segment. The international hotel operator Swissotel has been brought in for the implementation of the complex in Gudauri, confirming the high level of ambition and quality of the project. The developer is focusing on the synergy of premium service and an authentic Caucasian location. The company's activities comply with Georgian construction legislation standards, and transaction transparency is ensured through official contracts and state registration of property rights.
