Heli Skiing in Turkey

Heli Skiing TurkeyTurkey has long been the bridge between eastern and western cultures, and heli skiing in Turkey with guides like Turkey Heliski also bridges the steep and technical style of European heliskiing with the wild slopes yet often found outside of Europe. 

Heli skiing in Turkey certainly isn’t as popular as the Alps in Italy or Switzerland, but that’s only because it's just not on skiers radar is a first choice. Yet, Turkey’s Pontic Alps rise nearly 4,000 meters high, are hammered by precipitation coming off the Black Sea, and, as a result, are the best range to go heli skiing in Turkey. In fact, they’re one of the best places to heliski in the world due to the unique combination of challenging terrain and untouched snow.

World-Class Travel Ideas!

Although you are going heli skiing in the Northern Hemisphere in the winter months, you're not to far from The Med. If you're coming from the West, why not stop somewhere warmer on the way home. Sicily should be considerably warmer! Fly into Catania, and spend a few days in Taormina! Go up to Castelmola...and make sure and visit the penis bar!

Facts & FAQ

The Terrain

We already mentioned the Pontic Alps’ elevation and heavy snowfall, but the biggest draw to heli skiing in Turkey has to be just how much terrain there is to ski. Turkey Heliski's range alone is 5,000 square kilometers, which is the same size as the best heliskiing areas in France and Italy. In fact, there are over 400 established runs with vertical drops ranging from 700 to 1,200 meters.

You won’t be limited to only glaciated slopes and steep chutes off summits like you’ll find in Italy and France. When you go heli skiing in Turkey, you get all the same terrain as the Alps as well as beautiful glades and tree runs, thanks to the low altitude of the snow pack..
