Kartalkaya Kayak Merkezi
A well-known Turkish ski resort on the Köroğlu Mountains, with long runs and good snow. It is about a 3-hour drive from Istanbul.

It has dozens of runs and several lifts, suits beginner and intermediate skiers, and is known for its powder snow and pine-forest scenery. The ski season runs from mid-December to March. Most hotels in the resort offer ski packages. In January 2025, a serious fire broke out at a resort hotel, so check fire safety when choosing accommodation.
