The complex is less than 20 miles north of the town of Gusar, about 8,200 feet above sea level. Temperatures are perfect for skiing, bottoming out around 34 degrees on winter nights and topping out at 68 degrees during the summer days.

The facilities offer a seemingly endless list of sports and leisure activities all year round, from snowshoeing, skiing and snow tubing in the winter to horse trekking and rope swinging in summer. The resort delivers unforgettable excitement and entertainment, all set against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty and invigorating mountain air.

The ski slopes have grown from 4,700 feet in tracks a few years ago to more than 6,560 feet now. A gondola infrastructure was launched this winter, giving skiers access to six new slopes.

Amenities are no problem, either. The five-star Park Chalet and Gaya Residence hotels provide luxury accommodations. The Park Chalet includes 164 bedrooms, plus bars, restaurants, fitness facilities and a spa. For hungry skiers, five more cafes and restaurants opened across the complex this winter.

If you are longing for a breath of fresh mountain air and plenty of thrilling sports activities during your stay in Azerbaijan, Shahdag Winter-Summer Tourism complex is a must-see destination.
