The Mountain Trails Agency Launches Online Ticket Sales on Its Updated Platform, MTA.SKI
The Mountain Trails Agency (MTA), operating under the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, has launched its updated website, MTA.SKI, in test mode. For the first time, the Agency will sell electronic tickets directly through its own platform.
Starting November 20, 2026, ski passes can be purchased online exclusively via the Agency’s official website, MTA.SKI. Tickets will also remain available for purchase at ticket offices located at the mountain resorts and through partner outlets.
The digital platform consolidates information regarding current resort conditions, ski areas, maps, and ski passes into a single official hub. The updated website provides detailed information about Gudauri, Bakuriani, Mestia, and Goderdzi. Through interactive maps, users can view which slopes and ski lifts are currently open, explore the various ski areas, and check the location, length, and difficulty level of individual trails. The platform will also provide information regarding weather conditions, snow cover, ski passes, and special offers. Through live-stream cameras, visitors can monitor the situation at the resorts, select their preferred skiing areas, and plan their visits in advance.
Users can also review safety guidelines on the website and, if necessary, contact 112 directly through the platform to request assistance.
During the 2026–2027 winter season, new digital technologies will also be introduced within the rescue service. Data regarding incidents will be recorded in an electronic system. Rescuers will use tablets to document the location of an incident, the initial assessment of an injured person's condition, and the assistance provided. This system will facilitate the compilation of statistics, the analysis of incidents, and the efficient allocation of rescue resources.
During the same season, all four resorts will be equipped with additional safety and rescue gear, including protective netting, marker poles, signage, and akias—specialized sleds used for transporting injured individuals. The Mountain Trails Agency will open the 2026–2027 winter season at all four resorts—Gudauri, Bakuriani, Mestia, and Goderdzi—on December 20, 2026.
