Basic information about the activity
We organize your ski mountaineering trip in Turkey, a destination that is still not very popular but that offers the possibility of making great ascents. The erosion of its limestone rocks has given rise to deep gorges and narrow valleys that have nothing to envy to the most famous Dolomite panoramas.
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.
The excursions require good physical training, being on average 1500 meters of altitude difference or more. Short trips by jeep are made every day. During the rest day or during the trips, we will have the opportunity to visit the famous valley of love and the troglodyte settlements of Cappadocia.
Basic program:
- First day: Arrival in Türkiye at Kayseri airport. Transfer to Ihlara or Selime, about 2 hours by car.
- Day 2: Hasan Dag 3268 m, vertical height gain 1800 m, in the evening transfer by minibus to the village of Cukurbag approx. 2 hours. The village will become our ‘base camp’.

- Day 4: Mount Emler 3730 m, vertical height gain approx. 2000 m, average ascent time 7 -8 hours.
