All-inclusive ski holidays on Kayseri's dormant volcano

Erciyes is a 3,917-metre dormant volcano rising above Kayseri in Central Anatolia, and its slopes hold one of Türkiye's largest ski areas: around 112 km of marked pistes across 41 runs, served by 19 lifts including two enclosed gondolas. The highest lifts climb to roughly 3,400 metres.
The season generally runs from December into April, with the most reliable snow between January and March. The resort is only about 25 km from Kayseri city centre, and Kayseri is easy to reach by plane or coach — which makes even a two-night ski break here genuinely worthwhile.
Our Erciyes ski holidays bundle the parts that usually take the most organising into one package: a hotel in Kayseri city centre, unlimited lift pass, ski or snowboard equipment and clothing, instruction, three meals a day and free transfers. Choose First Steps if you have never skied or snowboarded, or Experienced if you are already comfortable on the slopes.
Wide, gentle nursery slopes make Erciyes a good place to learn, while the long red and black runs higher up keep confident skiers busy. Cappadocia is a short drive away, so it is easy to add a few days of balloons and valleys before or after the snow.
