In a few words

Two trips in one? Absolutely, thanks to Turkey! The imposing Erciyes volcano (3900m) and the wild Taurus Mountains will be the two destinations of this ski touring trip in Turkey. Varied routes, wild and remote valleys where you can often hear the howling of wolves... An unforgettable yet easily accessible trip, with comfortable accommodations and the warm welcome of the Turkish mountain people, just a few hours' flight from Paris. We'll take the opportunity to spend two days in Cappadocia at the end of the trip, because it would be a shame to be in Turkey without seeing these famous fairy chimneys and their cave dwellings. Turkey as you've never imagined it! This trip is not suitable for splitboarding.

The highlights

  • A wide variety of wild routes
  • The accessibility of a well-connected destination
  • Turkish hospitality and cuisine
