Skiing at Uludağ

Because it is close to Istanbul, Uluda (Mount Ulu) is the busiest ski resort in Turkey. Skiers who desire a day trip or an overnight stay can head to Uludag Ski Centre, which spans the two slopes of Fatintepe and Kusaklikaya, which is located 30 minutes from Bursa's downtown.

The Bursa Teleferik, the longest cable-car ride in the world, or the road from the city of Bursa, 36 kilometers to the north, are the only ways to get to this ski resort area, which offers all the amenities needed for a full day of skiing or snowboarding as well as full ski equipment rental facilities. There are 16 lifts that can transport skiers to the various slopes, and there are 28 kilometers of pistes that range in difficulty from beginner to advanced. There are 27 hotels in the resort area for people who prefer a ski vacation over a day trip. The ski season here lasts from late December to early March, but January and February appear to be the greatest months.
