Turkey

Turkey is an exciting, interesting and beautiful country known to all as the cradle of civilization! Even under snow.

Turkey is not traditionally thought of as a destination for skiing because of its Mediterranean climate; however, Turkey has several inland mountainous regions and several resorts for skiing, and world-class heli-skiing in the Kachar mountains in the north-east.

The most popular resort for skiing in Turkey is the Uldag resort in Bursa. This charming town can be reached by road, ferry or bus from Istanbul. It takes only about 1.5 hours to get there.

Uldag is a ski resort of very high standards and people come there from all over Turkey. It has the best facilities available. There are chair lifts, three ski lifts, and slalom and giant slalom courses as well as beginner's slopes to cater to the needs of everyone. Ski equipments and instructors are available on hire and there is a small hospital attached to the resort.

The Palandoken skiing resort is located within a few kilometres of the city of Erzurum in North East Turkey. Palandoken offers some of the best skiing in Turkey with several long and quite difficult runs to negotiate. Palandoken in Turkey lies at an average altitude of 2800 metres which provides very good snow conditions for skiing. Accommodation is easily available at one of the several big hotels in or near the ski resort. The Skiing season in Palandoken begins around December and the pistes are still usable up until April. turkey-polaroids
