The Turkish section of the Tauri mountain chain includes the Aladaglar massif and while still not frequented much by climbers and ski-mountaineers it offers the possibility of achieving great ascents. The erosion of the limestone rocks has created deep gorges and narrow valleys which have as much to offer as the more famous panoramas of the Dolomites.
On a clear day, from the summit of Demirkazik (3756 mt) you can see the extinct volcanoes on the horizon of Hasan Dag and the legendary Mount Argues, both goals of our trip.
We shall make tracks through valleys and limestone and volcanic rocks, over gentle slopes and narrow gorges, down gullies and over plains, always with great vertical height gains and across wild areas.
The trips require a good physical preparation, both for altitude and exertion. There will be short transfers every day by jeep or tractor. During the transfers we shall have an opportunity of visiting the famous Valley of Love and the Troglodyte settlements of Cappadocia.
