Kayseri

Erciyes

One of Türkiye's highest ski areas with one of the longest seasons, and — thanks to Kayseri airport — the most practical option for a weekend trip.

Renting equipment at Erciyes

Rental shops at Erciyes cluster around the resort gates and along the approach road. During Turkish school holidays and long weekends, queues build between 09:00 and 11:00; a booked customer skips those hours.

Because the resort sits high, the season can run from early December into April. Height also means cold and wind: a helmet, a neck gaiter and good gloves earn their keep here more than at lower resorts.

Getting there and staying

The drive from central Kayseri to the ski area takes roughly half an hour, and the airport connection is among the shortest of any Turkish ski resort. That makes Erciyes one of very few places where a day trip genuinely works.

Staying in the city and driving up daily is markedly cheaper than the mountain hotels. Renting equipment from a shop in the city is also an option; in Pistrun the pickup point of each listing is shown on the map.

Frequently asked questions

When does the season start at Erciyes?
Thanks to the altitude the season usually opens in early December and, in good snow years, runs into April. The exact opening date depends on snow each year and is announced by the resort.
Should I rent in the city or at the resort?
Either works. Renting at the resort removes the carrying problem but means a queue on busy days. Renting in the city is usually cheaper and pays off if you are skiing several days.
