Cappadocia Ski Day Trip at Erciyes: Full-Day All-Inclusive
About this tour
Trade Cappadocia's rock valleys for the snowy slopes of Erciyes, an extinct volcano about an hour from the region's towns. This full-day trip covers everything: hotel pickup and return, your ski or snowboard, boots, helmet, goggles, gloves, jacket, pants, and a lift ticket for the day. The runs suit everyone, so beginners and confident skiers can share the mountain. Lunch is part of the deal, and there are snacks on the bus for the ride out and back.
Highlights
- Ski or ride down slopes set against snow-covered volcanic scenery
- Runs for every level, from first-timers to advanced skiers
- Modern lifts and up-to-date resort facilities
- Wide views over Erciyes Mountain and the Anatolian plains
- A winter day out that pairs well with Cappadocia's usual sights

Season, Hours, and What to Wear
The Erciyes resort runs through the winter, usually from early December into late March, though the exact start and end shift year to year with the snow. Standard hours are 09:00 to 17:00. Heavy snow, strong wind, or poor visibility can shorten the day or close the lifts entirely for safety, so conditions on the mountain always have the final say.
Dress in layers. Start with a moisture-wicking base, add something insulating like fleece over it, and top that with a waterproof, windproof shell. Your jacket, pants, gloves, helmet, and goggles come with the package, but bring ski-specific socks and a warm hat of your own. Sunglasses help too, since the sun off fresh snow is bright. Ski boots and a helmet are required on the slopes and are part of your gear.
