Activities in Turkey: Skiing in Turkey
Skiing in Turkey may not be the first thing which springs to mind when you think of Turkey, but considering it is such a mountainous country, it is not surprising that Turkey boasts a number of good quality ski resorts. Its snow record is excellent with many of the resorts at high altitude. Although skiing holidays are not offered by any UK or Irish tour operators at present, it is surely only a matter of time before this sector for skiing in Turkey develops.
The first mention of alpine skiing in Turkey was in the area around Erzurum in 1914 and 1933 onwards sporting clubs began to be formed for those interested in skiing in the areas around Bursa, Ankara an Erzurum. The Turkish Mountaineering and horsemanship federation, which also catered for skiers, was formed in 1935 and in 1939 the Turkish Mountaineering and winter sports Federation was established – one of the first such organisations anywhere in the world. Turkey currently has 8 ski resorts: Uludag, Kartalkaya, Ilgaz, Sarikamis Palandoken, Erciyes, Davraz and Saklikent
Those who own property in Turkey should remember that their Turkey property can be rented out or used throughout both the summer to enjoy the great weather and beaches and also during the winter, where you can make the most of the popular ski resorts in Turkey.
