Gabala

Welcome to Azerbaijan’s outdoor resort hub! In winter, stay for skiing and snowboarding in the Caucasus Mountains, while in summer there’s an excellent range of adrenaline-fuelled activities including quad-biking, shooting, paragliding and hiking. Many hotels have excellent swimming pools and spas, and if you head to Yengija or Chenot Palace it’s possible to benefit from thermal springs, take medicinal baths in heavy petroleum oil or undergo cryotherapy.

If you’re fed up of the concrete jungle, Gabala is the perfect getaway. Surrounded by the silence and tranquillity of magical pine woods and nestled near the peaceful Nohur lake, Gabala is a peaceful sanctuary of magnificent forests and cooling mountain waterfalls.
