Safety warning
Its story
The center is about 1 km southeast of the Sarıkamış district center, on the Cıbıltepe slopes of Mount Çamurlu, at elevations between 2,100 and 2,634 m. The runs pass through Scots pine forests; the trees both break the wind and reduce the risk of avalanches. The crystal-structured, dry and light snow makes the center one of Türkiye's most popular ski areas. The summit is reached by a two-stage chairlift line; besides runs of different difficulty levels, activities such as sledding and ski safaris are also possible. The center is right next to the Sarıkamış-Allahuekber Mountains National Park.
