Uludag Ski Center, Yıldırım, Bursa, Turkey
Once a favorite set for filmmakers, Uludag’s hotels area with its continually renovated facilities is just 40 kilometers from the city center of Bursa, the nearest metropolis.
At Uludag, where the snow remains deep enough to allow for skiing four months of the year, there is a total of 17 hotels with a bed capacity of more than 6,000.
Having received more than 70,000 visitors, of whom 5,000 were foreigners, in the winter season of 2016-2017, Uludag has 20 ski runs ranging between 300 meters and 980 meters.
Apart from skiing, holidaymakers can snowboard as well as ice-skate at Uludag. It is also possible to take a tour of the area on snow bikes.
