Our holidays in Turkey are centered around the Release your Edge program offered through our ski school. In 2024 we will offer 7 days/6 nights holidays for those keen to take their skiing at the next level!

Skiing in Anatolia, the Asian part of Turkey, can be a unique and exciting experience. Anatolia is home to several ski resorts that offer a range of slopes, beautiful landscapes, and a glimpse into Turkish culture.

Located near Kayseri, Mount Erciyes is an impressive volcanic mountain with a ski resort of the same name. Erciyes Ski Resort is gaining popularity among both locals and international visitors. It offers various slopes, stunning views, and modern infrastructure. It is the largest ski resort in the country. Situated in central Anatolia, this modern ski resort features 112 km of slopes serviced by 18 lifts with a capacity of 26,750 people per hour. The Erciyes story started in 2005 and culminated with the opening of the ski resort in 2011. It is a new resort boasting the latest in lifting equipment from the big names you are used to see in Swiss or Austrian ski resorts.

Accessing the resort is easier than you would think. A flight to Istanbul followed by a short internal flight to Kayseri, a 1.5 million modern city, and a 20-minute transfer is all what it takes. There is also the self-drive option for those with more time on their hands. In our travels we found that the highways in Turkey offer a convenient and fast way of covering the distance between cities.

Your ski holiday will offer you the possibility to shop in the second largest Bazaar in Turkey or its modern malls as well as visit touristic attractions such Kayseri Castle, Hunat Hatun Complex or the Seljuck Civilisation Museum. Also, you will have the chance to explore the beautiful Turkish cuisine from fresh street food to high-end restaurants.

Australians will need an e-visa for tourism if you’re staying for less than 90 days in a 180-day period.
