On the 15th of December 2018, cable transport is scheduled to be opened connecting Kobi and Gudauri. The cable will be used by skiers as well as non-skiers. Kobi is a village in Kazbegi, Mtskheta-Mtianeti, while Gudauri is a ski resort located on the south-facing plateau of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range in Georgia. It will be possible to move between the spots in 15 minutes via the cable.
It is going to be the largest cable route in the region. Since landslides and heavy snow can force the car route through Jvari pass shut in winter, the cable transport will help the commuters or skiers transport back and forth anyway.
82 million has been allocated for the project from the government budget.
