Saklıkent
Facts and practical information
Nestled amidst the majestic mountains of southwestern Turkey, Saklıkent is a hidden gem that offers a unique skiing experience far from the crowded resorts of Europe. With its tag as a ski area, Saklıkent is not only a winter sports destination but also a testament to the diverse natural beauty that Turkey has to offer.
Situated in the province of Antalya, Saklıkent Ski Center sits at an altitude that promises snow-covered slopes even in a country known for its sun-soaked shores. The ski season here typically runs from December through to April, depending on the snow conditions. The area boasts a variety of runs that cater to both novice and experienced skiers, and snowboarders alike.
What sets Saklıkent apart is its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the few places in the world where one can enjoy the paradox of skiing in the mountains in the morning and swimming in the sea in the afternoon. This unique feature is due to its location just 50 kilometers away from the coastal city of Antalya, a major tourist hub.
The resort offers essential amenities such as ski lifts, equipment rentals, and ski schools for beginners. Visitors can also find accommodation and dining options that allow them to relax after a day on the slopes. The panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges add to the allure, making Saklıkent a picturesque winter retreat.
