While ski lovers were enjoying the slopes in Erciyes in spring, the season extended until the Ramadan holiday with the falling snow.

In Erciyes, one of Turkey's most important winter tourism centers, the season has extended until the Ramadan holiday with the falling snow. While many ski resorts cannot open due to the low rainfall in the country, Erciyes Ski Center, which started the season in December and serves ski lovers in spring, continues to host domestic and foreign tourists. Tourists, who enjoy the slopes in spring, also have the chance to experience unforgettable moments at the facilities by enjoying the beautiful weather. Erciyes A.Ş. Deputy General Manager Zafer Akşehirlioğlu stated that the ski season that opened in December continues in the spring. Most ski resorts, including in Europe, could not be opened or opened late this year due to late snow or non-falling snow. Thanks to the strong artificial snow technical infrastructure of our Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality, we opened our season in December. It has been a season of up to 4 months. The ski season is especially for Erciyes. It is a period that covers one third of the year. We can say that it is a long period for skiing."

"If skiing is to be done in spring, it is done in Erciyes"

Akşehirlioğlu, who added that they plan to have their guests ski until the Ramadan holiday with the snow that has fallen in the last days, said, "We have extended the season even more with the snowfall a few days ago. Currently, all our facilities are open at four different gates in Erciyes, and skiing is possible at every point. We welcome our guests here. We are planning to ski until the holiday, that is our target right now. We always say, 'If skiing is to be done in Turkey, it is done in Erciyes'. This time, we can say, 'If skiing is to be done in the spring, it will be done in Erciyes'. We expect our guests to make use of these beautiful spring months."
