Morning light slides down the Trialeti Range as the road climbs from Tbilisi; spruce stands lean over hairpin turns and the air thins until Bakuriani’s alpine meadows appear like a folded map of winter tracks and summer trails. Visitors step out into a landscape that alternates between bristling ski lifts and green ridgelines, then descend into Borjomi’s deep valley where mineral springs bubble with a history all their own.
