Skiing on Troodos Mountain

The impressive Troodos mountain range with its idyllic forests

At the top of the Troodos Mountains one can find the only Skiing Center in Cyprus.  Here, one can take advantage of the pleasures of Winter Sports under the beautiful Mediterranean blue sky. Skiing can be enjoyed on the slopes of Mount Olympus (1951 metres a.s.l.), usually from the beginning of January until the end of March. An International F.I.S. Skiing Competition is organized every year by the Cyprus Ski Federation and takes place at the ZEUS Slalom Homologated Piste.
