Parnassos Ski Center
Ski Experience |
During the winter season, the ski center on Mount Parnassos (or Parnassus as it is also known), is an extremely popular destination for many, with its excellent ski and winter sport facilities. Many don't put '' Greece'' and ''ski'' together in the same sentence, however cold weather admirers have known for years that alpine wonderlands around the south Mediterranean's mountainous regions are nothing to be ignored. Where in the world can you ski, and have the sea under your feet?
The unique and stunning region of Parnassos, the majestic mountainous area, is one of the most beautiful in all of Greece. When the cold sets in from December to April and even later up north, ski and snowboard fans alike will be up at the crack of dawn making their way to one of 20- odd Grecian hills that are cheaper than their north European counterparts, in large part because the majority are run by municipalities and local alpine clubs.
Parnassos Ski Centre is a comprehensive ski area which comprises of easy access to off-piste and delightful available touring amongst 'Scottish' size hills however, draped with Alpine snow and Mediterranean weather! For nature lovers and those who like hiking and outdoor activities, it is perfect. It is also a good place for learning as most of the runs are not very steep.
