Catski | Off Piste | Kaçkar | Turkey
Love deep powder and real adventure? Then this catski trip in the Kaçkar Mountains is for you. Here you’ll find endless off-piste terrain – and peaks soaring up to 3,931 meters.
Book nowTurkey might not be the first place that comes to mind for snow and big mountains, but this region offers stunning landscapes and an incredible amount of powder – perfect for those who, like us, live for adventure and freeride skiing.
Set in the heart of the Kaçkar range, this destination boasts one of the longest catski runs in the world, surrounded by dramatic peaks reaching nearly 4,000 meters. Thanks to its location near the Black Sea, the area is renowned for its consistently high-quality snow. With our skilled and experienced local mountain guides, you’ll explore this vast freeride playground safely and to the fullest.
The terrain here offers a bit of everything, but is mainly wide-open slopes with an average pitch of about 25 degrees.
