In the hollow of the Gurian Mountains, covered with evergreen, spruce and fir forests, there is Bakhmaro – the highest climatic resort of the Gurian region. Mount Gadrekili (or Lechhiseri — 2507 m) rises from the eastern side of the resort. Vacationers have nicknamed this mountain "the mountain of the rising sun" — a wonderful panorama of the surrounding area opens from the mountain at dawn.

Until the end of the nineteenth century Bakhmaro only shepherds visited. The first vacationer, suffering from consumption (at that time a widespread disease), also rose with them. The news of the cure from a serious illness spread quickly, and the number of vacationers in Bakhmaro increased every year.

The uniqueness of the climate of Bakhmaro is primarily due to the location of the resort. The resort is open on the western side, so warm sea air penetrates here. In turn, this contributes to the formation of a mild climate of the high-altitude zone of the middle mountains. The winds of the mountains and fields create good ventilation, so the air here is always clean and fresh. Magnificent mountain landscapes have a calming effect on patients, which has a beneficial effect on the treatment process. The summer season here is short-lived - from the beginning of July to the end of August. The holiday season traditionally ends with horse racing.

This spectacular spectacle is held on the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. This tradition originated in the 30s of the last century. In early September, the Gurian mountains are covered with snow, and the height of the snow cover here reaches 4-6 meters. The idea to use the winter potential of Bakhmaro originated back in 1977. The conclusions of the scientific expedition say that the natural conditions of Bakhmaro meet all the requirements of winter resorts. There is an opportunity to arrange 8-10 ski trails for various purposes, capable of working at full load for 4-5 months.
