SKI CYPRUS
Cyprus is an island of contrasts, and whilst it a popular winter sun destination not so many people know that it offers good skiing too! Mount Olympus (1,952 metres) is the highest peak in the Troodos mountains. From the beginning of January through to March (sometimes April) the mountains are deep in snow and are transformed into a winter wonderland that is reminiscent of the Austrian Tyrol!
There are four main ski slopes with six different runs all of Alpine standard and varying in length from 100 - 500 metres and there are also two cross country (langlauf) trails at Sun Valley, one of eight kilometres the other four kilometres and both offer spectacular views down to the Limassol coast and the Salt Lake on the Akrotiri peninsula.
