A ski center on the north slope of Mount Chelmos, at 1,700 to 2,340 meters, with views of the Gulf of Corinth on clear days.
The Kalavryta Ski Center lies on the northern slope of Mount Chelmos, known in ancient times as Mount Aroania. It is about 15 kilometers from Kalavryta and 1.5 to 2 hours by car from Patras. Its ski runs range from about 1,700 to 2,340 meters, with more than ten runs of varying difficulty and several chairlifts. It is one of the most popular ski areas in southern Greece, with equipment rental and ski school available. On clear days, the summit offers views of the Gulf of Corinth. Outside ski season, visitors can hike Mount Chelmos and look for the Styx Falls of myth. Weekends are busy, and mountain roads may require snow chains in winter.
