Ski resorts of Turkey are very “unstable”. Strong winds, lack of snow… The state of the ski resort can be questioned by a phone number +90 (532) 663-09-17 (you need to speak Turkish for this), or determined by live cameras. Click on camera image on this page.
You should take care about equipment in the last village before the resort. It will be much cheaper. For example, ski boots cost 25 TRY per day “near the lift” and 15 TRY per day “in the village”.
Lifts have two seats. There are two chair-lifts and one T-bar lift. Routes are quite simple. Amateurs can use a slow “blue” route. Professionals will most probably enjoy an off-piste skiing 😀
It is worth of mentioning that there are almost no hotels around the resort.
Sirene Davras Hotel, is located under the mount and costs from 500 to 1300 TRY (130-330$) depending on season time (the price is higher in late February – early January, during winter school holidays). Though it is quite attractive by its “all inclusive” proposal (breakfast/lunch/dinner, bus), but it is still enormously expensive.
Davka Butik Otel is more friendly in terms of price. Its price is 500 TRY (130$) and doesn’t depend on season time. But it is located quite far from the resort in a very small and boring village.
So we advise you to stay in Egirdir or Isparta. Prices are much lower here and are starting from 100 TRY (26$).
We stayed in a smaller town – Egirdir, with its beautiful lake and sights.
Golden Apple hotel, asks 130 TRY (34$) for a room with three bed. The price includes only breakfast, but you can easily find dinner in local restaurants for not more then 60 TRY for three people 🙂
The resort’s cafe is bad. Only sandwiches for 12-15 TRY, tea and coffee. The cafe’s toilet is even worse. You should try newly-built 5-star toilet nearby (it costs just 2 TRY, but it is worth of it) 😀
Unlike Erciyes or Erzurum, the weather is warm enough. The temperature is bouncing about zero degrees. The surrounding views are also good.
The nature is changing. Sun in the morning can hide in fog and snow by the evening.
