AN EXPERIENCE FOR THE SENSES

Ski Mountaineering

It is a fairly widespread sports activity in Falakro usually starting from the ski resort. Its smooth northern slopes create interesting slopes with untrodden snow. We recommend the following routes.
1. Ski Resort (1740 m.) – Vardena (2.190 m). M.D. 450 m
2. Ski Resort (1740 m.) – Chionotrypa peak (2111m) – Chionotrypa chasm (2000 m.) – Profitis Ilias (2230 m.): M.D 492 m

From the peak of Profitis Ilias (2232 m), if the snowfall is enough, there is the possibility of descent through the ski center – col Chorus, to the settlement of Volakas (830 m.) Y.D. 1402 m.
3. Ski Center – Neck of Gorge Peak or Chionotrypa chasm where you can combine ski mountaineering with winter climbing.
