Ski Cyprus
Find out where and when to enjoy the Cyprus snow and ski Cyprus
Many visitors are surprised to discover that you can actually SKI here in Cyprus.
Okay, the ski season isn't exactly long and you have to be a little lucky to visit at just the right
time for perfect snow, but if you actually live on the island, you can just watch
the weather forecast and head for the hills to ski in Cyprus.
Better still, just keep an eye on the Troodos
web cam to get a slope side view of the "live" snow
conditions.
Cyprus Snow
It can snow anytime in the Troodos mountains from early December through to April, but the best
ski conditions are usually from mid January through to mid March. It is rare to get sufficient snow to ski
before then.
This year (2007), it snowed early in December and we were able to enjoy some hiking in the snow (see above picture) but there was insufficient snow on the slopes for anything other than tobogganing!
Cyprus Ski SlopesThere are four main slopes in the Troodos, all situated close to Mount Olympus and each slope hasit's own ski lift. There is also a cross country ski track if you don't fancy downhill skiing. Tips - Try to avoid heading for the snow at the weekend as the Troodos will be very busywith locals heading for the slopes. The snow conditions also mean traffic queues.
- Make sure your vehicle is up to coping with slippery, snowy conditions. A 4x4 is really a minimum ifit is snowing in the Troodos and, ideally, snow chains are advised although most people don'thave them...the cause of the traffic jams on a snowy day!
