Gusar is the northernmost settlement of the country (from large cities), it has about 90,500 people, and the direct distance to Baku is 180 km. People settled in this area from the end of the 2nd millennium BC. There are many monuments and attractions of different eras. If we consider folk crafts, then the most widespread is carpet weaving, in particular, the creation of lint-free carpets. Such products are created either in home machines or in the city center. There is located a large weaving shop with a unique feature – inside it, and there is the largest (ten-person) looms in all of Azerbaijan.
Gusar region annually attracts a huge number of lovers of alpine skiing. Here, not far from the city, is located the most popular winter-summer resort, “Shahdag.”

What To Expect
The city of Gusar immediately greets guests with crystal-clear mountain air and incredible panoramas, from which it takes its breath away. Because of its geographical position, this city is called the “Northern Gate,” which leads to neighboring Dagestan.
Shahdag Mountain Resort
In winter, it is a ski resort, and in summer it is a hostel, which is located in the lap of the Caucasus Mountains. In Azerbaijan, Shahdag became the first ski resort. After all, not only those who want to go skiing and snowboarding go to the complex but also those who want to show their children the snowy slopes, breathe in the fresh mountain air and drink coffee on the restaurant’s veranda.

5.00Took day tour to shahdag as Ati wasted our previous 1 day tour by making multiple stops and spending too much time on lunch. First time we barely got 2 hr at shahdag and couldn't do more than 1 ride as there are long queue after lunch at shahdag. In our day tour we burned our 300 azn but worth the money as we took private tour and got full day and 3 rides and leisure time at shahdag. Shahdag feels like heaven. Must try caoster, cable chair and zip line. But go for full day tour to only shahdag. Tour company tends to sell other tours where you will waste your time. Only tour to shahdag is must do and don't add anything else while you go to shahdag otherwise you won't get to try most rides due to long queue.
Shahdag day tour

3.00Ati tour should make value for tourist which we didn't notice as compared to other tour that we took from Ati. Shahdag needs good 6 to 7 hrs to explore atleast 3 rides and chill in the mids of snow mountain. Ati made us reach to shahdag after lunch and wasting our first half day by making multiple stops and also halting for lunch which was over an hour. Due to this, we got only 2 hrs at shahdag in which we could cover only 1 ride. They are tour company and make tour value for money and time for tourist rather than trying to get another tour from tourist and make money. Better time management is needed for shahdag tour. Anyone who is going to Shahdag, use tour company who gives 1 day tour to just shahdag so tht you can enjoy all rides at shahdag. Shahdag gets busy after lunch and all rides have long queue. Reach shahdag by 11 am so tht you get enough time. We took another day tour just to shahdag and had enough time though we wasted another 300 Azn but worth the experience. Coaster ride, zip line and cable chair must do.
Fun!

5.00Shag dag tour agents staffs all of them are super friendly . Driver and tour guide even operator Mr Ali he is deeply serve to his clients as friends . Azerbaijan is not the most attractive place in the world for tour . I am solo traveller around the world . Azerbaijan is the 153th country on my list . However , Baku is great city , beautiful Baku boulevard, Gabala and goba are the good place to enjoy with serve of Shag dag agent .
