Cyprus Ski Guide

Skiing in Cyprus

Cyprus is well known for Summer beach holidays and few people are aware that it is also possible to ski there. Cyprus offers a cheap alternative to the mainstream Winter sports resorts and provides an alternative to the typical skiing holiday. In Cyprus it is possible to combine snow and sand as you can enjoy a morning of skiing and then spend the afternoon on the coast. Cyprus is a great destination if you unable to choose between a Winter sun holiday and a ski break as you can combine the two in one visit!

Skiing can be enjoyed on the slopes of Mount Olympus from December through to March. The Troodos Ski Resort is the focus for skiing in Cyprus. The resort has four slopes; two on the north face of Mount Olympus and two in Sun Valley and the runs cater for all levels of ability from beginner through to advanced. Each has a t-bar lift system and equipment rental station.

There is a variety of accommodation available close to the resort, ranging from mountain hotels to self catering options.

The nearest airport is Larnaca International Airport and the best way to get to the resort is to hire a car. You can then enjoy the scenery as you drive to the resort and you will be able to get down to the coast quickly and easily if you fancy taking a break from skiing.
