Construction of new ski resort Tetnuldi will get underway in Svaneti (north-eastern Georgia), on the slopes of the homonymous mount next year.

New Resort will be similar in size to the popular Georgian resort Gudauri – 6 ropeways will be built (Poma with 4 and 6 places) in Tetnuldi. Total length of pistes will make 30 km (approximately 16 different runs at between 2270 and 3045 meters above the sea level). Overall carrying capacity at the first stage will be up to 3200 persons an hour, with the option to increase it up to 8000 per/hr.

The project cost is estimated in 52 million USD. The Project is implemented by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development together with French Company.

Ski resort Tetnuldi is unique in its location zone for skiing high on the north-west slopes of the homonymous mountain and closeness of glaciers Adish (Lardaad), Nageb and Tsanner, allowing almost 7 months of enjoying skiing – from November till the end of May. Abundance of snow and northern slope exposure are fraught with elevated avalanche danger. Due to this fact French Company Engineerisk diagnoses slopes to identify areas of risk through field methods, as well as those of topographic shooting and digital modeling of snow-debris flow.
