Our story

Ski Gudauri was founded in 2013 by Alex Beniaidze, a ski racer from Gudauri, and Giovanni Lazzarini, an Italian race coach. Alex and Giovanni represented the Georgian National Ski Team at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and in various World Cup and World Championship events. With their experience at the highest level of skiing they have brought together a passionate and enthusiastic instructor team that, through word of mouth, has become the biggest, and most popular ski school in Gudauri.
