Ski mountaineering in the Aladaglar mountains – Special Cappadocia

A trip that is exotic to say is an understatement! The Aladaglar and Cappadocia mountains hide within their folds an infinity of small villages, hidden valleys surrounded by mountains and volcanoes that exceed three thousand meters in height... The ski mountaineering itineraries here are decidedly secluded, the crowds are discouraged by the rough environment of the mountains Turkish and leave room for authentic ski mountaineering. We are in the south of Turkey: the disturbed currents arriving from Siberia run free and cold over the great plains of Central Asia, enriching themselves with humidity on the Caspian and Black Seas and giving these mountains abundant snow; the valleys, always deep and sunken, sometimes with a severe and dolomitic appearance, require off-road approaches and differences in height that often exceed 1500 metres!
