"Ifaistion" snowfalls offered 30-50 cm of fresh snow in the majority of Southern Ski Centers. Parnassos and Kalavryta ski centers have plenty of snow and have more lifts and pistes in operation. Cold temperatures and light winds will help skiers to visit. Limited operation on northern Centers except Voras-Kaimaktsalan.

Last season was one of the best within the last 10 years. Up to the end of February we had almost every week new snow falls at altitudes above 1000 meters. March entered with higher temperatures and sunny weather.

At about 7 am Saturday 12/1/2019, an avalanche completely put down Styga chair-lift pillar 5. Fortunately, no injuries were caused. The avalanche was triggered by skilled personnel in order to provide safety for the skiers in the adjacent area. However, the end result was a much bigger avalanche than the one expected, causing major damage to the main chair lift, as you can see in the photo. The repairs, which will cost more than 150,000 euros, will be very hard to be completed during this period, as snowfalls carry on resulting in a major impact on the ski resort and ski tourism in the surrounding area.

Skiing appeared for the first time in Greece in the 1920's and has had rising numbers of devoted fans ever since. Today, after almost a century, countless adventure seekers turn the snow covered mountain slopes across the country into hot places what with their passion and skill!

Although Greece is a country where the sun shines most of the year, it can also boast some very good skiing resorts with ultra modern facilities that can satisfy even the most demanding skiers, offering an unforgettable experience down spectacular ski runs where the beauty of the alpine landscape is guaranteed to take your breath away.
Enjoy a ski run in some of the best known skiing resorts of the country, and feast your eyes on the beauty of snow-clad mountaintops as you experience an overwhelming feeling of freedom.
