Erzurum’s Palandöken gearing up for busy ski season
ERZURUM

Palandöken Ski Resort in the eastern province of Erzurum, one of the country’s top winter sports destinations, is set to launch its season earlier than expected due to the arrival of chilly weather, with teams finalizing preparations for an unforgettable visitor experience.
As one of the most sought-after areas of the city, the Palandöken district, resplendent in its grandeur, witnesses a large number of people flocking to its sporting facilities.
In a bid to gear up for this influx of visitors, relevant authorities completed repairs and maintenance on the resort’s facilities, chair lifts, gondolas, cable cars, ski tracks and snow-making systems over the summer. Reaching the conclusion of the process, they are now waiting for temperatures to drop to around 5 degrees below zero to kick off the new ski season.
This renowned ski resort set a record with almost 3 million visitors last season.
This year, with the eastern city having been designated as the «European Winter Sports Capital» and the “tourism capital” of 2025, this number is anticipated to surge even more.
