Four Seasons Uludağ Guide: Skiing, Cable Car and Summit Treks
From Ancient Mysian Olympos to Turkey's Winter Tourism Capital
Known in classical antiquity as Mount Olympos of Mysia, from where the gods watched the Trojan War, 2,543-meter-high Mount Uludağ is the crown of the Marmara Region. Far beyond a premier ski destination, its endemic flora, glacial lakes, and refreshing alpine pastures make it an exceptional year-round nature hub.
1. World's Longest Continuous Cable Car Line (9,000 Meters)
Departing from the Teferrüç station in central Bursa, modern 8-person panoramic gondolas glide over virgin pine forests and deep mountain gorges, transporting visitors to the Sarıalan and Kurbağa Kaya alpine hotels zones in just 22 minutes.
2. Winter Skiing & Snowboarding: Zones 1 and 2
Operating between mid-December and late March, Uludağ features over 20 ski runs suited for all skill levels, modern chairlifts, ski schools, equipment rentals, and slope-side mountain lodges.
3. Summer Alpine Treks, Glacial Lakes & Camping
During spring and summer, trails lead hikers through Sarıalan, Çobankaya, and Bakacak view terraces towards the Seven Glacial Lakes (Aynalı, Kilimli, Karagöl) at the mountain's highest ridges.
