Overview of Gudauri.

Gudauri is a winter sports resort in northern Georgia, here shown in the low season. Beyond the background mountains is Southern Ossetia, a Georgian region that remains occupied by Russia since 2008. as well as Abkhazia. Since Georgia doesn't accept borders with these regions, the access to them is obligatorily through Russia.

Glaciers and snowy summits.

They look chilly in summer because northern Caucasus mountains exceed often 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000 metres of altitude. To prevent desertification of the region, with severe winters, local inhabitants are entitled to free consumption of electric energy. This view was taken from Gudauri.
