Gomis-Mta — Above the Clouds!

08.08.2026
Gomis-Mta is famous for its "sea of clouds": because of the local climate the clouds often stay below the slopes, and it feels like standing on an island in a white ocean. On a clear day you can even see the Black Sea.

The best time here is evening and early morning. At sunset the clouds turn gold and pink, and in the morning you can watch the sunrise right above them. So if you can, come for the night rather than a couple of hours. Gomis-Mta has distinctive wooden cottages, alpine meadows, pine forests and plenty of walks. More experienced travellers can head to the volcanic Lake Chinchao at about 2,500 m — reached from the resort on foot or by 4×4.

How to drive from Tbilisi
