Things to Do in Bakuriani

Bakuriani is a ski resort about 40 minutes from Borjomi by road, or by the narrow-gauge 'Kukushka' train that climbs slowly between the two through pine forest — a genuinely scenic ride rather than just a way of getting there. Winters bring skiing and snowboarding on modest but reliable slopes; summer turns it into a base for gentler hiking and horse riding at altitude without Bakuriani's higher-profile neighbours' crowds.
