When the winter snows blanket the 3,278-meter Munzur Mountains, Ergan transforms into Turkey’s best-kept skiing secret. This 7-night journey is crafted for travelers who want pristine, uncrowded slopes combined with the rugged, authentic culture of Eastern Anatolia. Operating with our signature small groups of just 4 to 18 guests, this tour swaps crowded Alpine mega-resorts for 50 kilometers of diverse, high-altitude pistes, modern cable cars, and the genuine warmth of Erzincan hospitality.


Ergan's 50km of pristine pistes.

 WHAT TO BRING

Preparing for a winter adventure in Eastern Anatolia is all about smart layering. Because we facilitate high-quality ski, snowboard, and outerwear rentals directly at the resort on Day 2, you have the flexibility to travel light. However, having your own personal gear ensures maximum comfort.

Here is a checklist to help you pack perfectly for your week on the slopes and your cultural discovery days:

On the Slopes: Clothing & Gear

  • Ski Jacket & Trousers: If you have your own waterproof, windproof ski outerwear, bring it! If you prefer to save luggage space, high-quality ski jackets and pants are available to rent locally at the resort.

  • Thermal Base Layers: Bring 3 to 4 pairs of moisture-wicking thermal tops and bottoms (merino wool or synthetic sports fabrics are ideal). Avoid cotton, as it holds moisture and makes you cold.

  • Mid-Layers: Fleece jackets, lightweight down vests, or packing sweaters to layer over your thermals depending on the daily mountain temperature.

  • Ski Socks: 3 to 4 pairs of proper, thick, over-the-calf ski socks.

  • Gloves or Mittens: Waterproof, insulated ski gloves are essential. (We recommend bringing your own for a perfect fit, though basic options can be rented or purchased locally).

  • Goggles & Sunglasses: UV-protection ski goggles are highly recommended for the slopes, and sunglasses are perfect for sunny lunch breaks on the mountain terrace.

  • Ski/Snowboard Equipment: If you prefer your own boots, skis, poles, or snowboard, you are welcome to bring them! Otherwise, our team will arrange top-tier rentals (including helmets) tailored to your size and skill level on Tuesday morning.

Off the Slopes: Cultural Days & Evenings

  • Sturdy Winter Boots: Waterproof boots or sturdy walking shoes with good grip are essential for exploring the frozen Girlevik Waterfall and walking through the historic stone bazaars.

  • Warm Casual Wear: Jeans, heavy trousers, and warm sweaters for our relaxed evening dinners and village exploration.

  • Winter Accessories: A warm beanie (hat), a scarf or neck gaiter, and regular winter gloves for non-skiing days.

  • Swimwear: If you fancy a traditional Turkish bath (Hamam) experience or want to enjoy the indoor thermal facilities during your stay.

Essentials & Comfort

  • Sunscreen & Lip Balm: High-altitude snow reflects intense UV rays. Pack a high-factor sunscreen and a protective lip balm to prevent chapping.

  • Small Daypack: A lightweight, waterproof backpack is handy for carrying an extra layer, your goggles, or small personal items while skiing.

  • Personal Electronics: Your phone, camera, and chargers. A portable power bank is highly recommended, as cold mountain air drains phone batteries much faster than usual.

Tour ConceptCULTURAL DISCOVERY

Whether you are flying in from Istanbul or arriving via VIP transfer from Cappadocia, our team will meet you and transfer you to your boutique hotel in Erzincan. Take the afternoon to settle in before we gather for a welcome dinner featuring slow-roasted Eastern Anatolian specialties.


Important Information:

Your trip includes a complimentary arrival transfer. To ensure this service is arranged, please provide your flight details to us at least 14 days before your travel date. For further instructions on meeting your transfer driver after exiting the arrivals hall, refer to the ‘Joining Point Instructions’ section in the Essential Trip Information.

Notice:

Guests have the option to arrive a day or two early to adjust, settle in, and enjoy some leisure time exploring Erzincan city and Ergan mountain at their own pace before the tour begins. Additionally, after our 8-day program, guests are welcome to extend their stay to soak up more of Ergan’s vibrant atmosphere and hidden gems.

Should you decide to arrive early or stay longer, please inform us at least two weeks before the tour so we can arrange the appropriate accommodation. We will do our best to keep you at the same starting and ending accommodation, but while this may not always be possible, rest assured we’ll find the best solution to ensure your comfort.


After breakfast, we take a short VIP transfer to the base of Ergan Ski Resort. We’ll handle your ski and snowboard fittings so you can head straight for the modern cable cars. Spend the day exploring the lower and mid-mountain pistes to find your snow legs, stopping for hot salep (a traditional winter drink) at a mountain-side café.

A full day dedicated to the slopes. With Turkey’s longest natural snow duration, Ergan offers incredible powder. For those with energy left after sunset, Ergan features fully illuminated slopes—giving you the rare opportunity to experience the thrill of night skiing under the stars.

We give your legs a rest from the slopes today to explore the surrounding culture. We’ll visit the spectacular Girlevik Waterfall, which freezes completely in winter, creating massive, dramatic ice stalactites. In the afternoon, we stroll through Erzincan’s historic Bakırcılar Çarşısı (Copper Bazaar), where artisans still hand-hammer copper using centuries-old techniques.

Back to the mountain. Today we take the high-capacity lifts all the way up to the highest accessible peaks. The advanced and intermediate runs from the top offer uninterrupted, sweeping views of the frozen valleys below. As always, we maintain our plastic-free travel commitment—glass water bottles and thermos flasks of hot tea will be waiting in the VIP vehicles.

Your day, your pace. Hit the slopes for another full day of skiing, or opt for alternative winter excursions. Ergan offers fantastic terrain for snowshoeing, and the frozen lake at the base often hosts ice skating. Our team is on standby to facilitate whichever unhurried adventure you choose.

Take your final morning runs to carve your favorite pistes one last time. In the evening, we gather at one of Erzincan’s finest local restaurants for a farewell dinner, celebrating a week of winter wonders and sharing stories from the snow.

Enjoy a final, relaxed Turkish breakfast. Our VIP fleet will transfer you to Erzincan Airport (ERC) for your flight home, or facilitate your onward journey.
