In winter, learn to ski with professional English, Russian and Georgian-speaking ski instructors. Rent all the equipment you will need from the shop at the base of the slopes. In summer take scenic tours around Georgia and experience the culture, cuisine and history in the company of local experts who will be your guide and organise everything you need.

I read about the different places for skiing in Georgia and learned that Bakuriani is a great place for families and for learning how to ski. My wife and I had never been skiing before and wanted to find the right place to learn. David and his crew at Bakuriani Ski Academy were a one-stop shop: they rented out all gear by the hour or by the day (skis, ski boots, helmet, goggles), and provided an English speaking instructor for each of us. The price was an incredible value, and they were able to work with each of us to develop good skiing habits. I recommend spending at least two days skiing- the first one could be to practice on the beginner hills, and then Bakuriani has intermediate and advanced hills within a close distance. So, you could do an hour or two of lessons on each day.

The park is famous for its mineral water and is the main attraction of the city. There is a small tourist oriented market and some hotels just outside the park entrance. Inside the park is a bottling plant for bottled water, a restaurant and bar, a mineral water fountain, the Prometheus monument and a hiking path which leads to the sulphur baths about three kilometers up the trail. Across the river is a small was museum which also other curiosities like a butterfly collection and a relief map of Georgia. There are beautiful gardens at the entrance to the park. A green pavilion with a transparent dome has the mineral water fountain where you can fill up your own bottle or drink the mineral water from a plastic cup provided by an attendant. A cable car leads up the mountain where you can enjoy the excellent views and also visit some local attractions. You can also hire a golf cart to take you around the park. However, it only takes you as far as the paved road goes and not all the way to the sulphur baths. A small stream flows through the park and there are several bridges across the stream. Each bridge has its own unique handrail and construction including an Eiffel bridge with a handrail similar in design to the Eiffel tower and a Lover's bridge. There are many snack carts and children's rides in the park and the children will enjoy it the most. The park is entirely covered in dense forests and there are many hiking trails in the park as well. The mineral water from the park is supposed to be good for health. It tastes OK fresh from the spring but not so good after a few hours. If you just want the mineral water, there is a spring outside the park as well. The park has a small entrance fee which is waived if you are staying in some of the hotels in Borjomi. You do have to show your hotel card though to avail of the free entrance. The park is beautiful and definitely worth a visit if you are in Borjomi. Make sure to visit the sulphur baths as well.

A very nice ski center but needs improvement. Unfortunately, transportation creates a weak impression. But the ski center is very nice, the people are good. The prices are really very reasonable. If you want to experience the skiing in different places you should definitely go and see. However, you must create your program in advance.
