Konaklı Ski Resort, 18 km (11 miles) southwest of Erzurum in eastern Turkey (map), is the area’s newest ski resort.
Six chairlifts, trails and other infrastructure are ready now. Hotels will follow, so for the time being, you’ll lodge in Erzurum or at Palandöken.
Erzurum’s traditional ski resort, Palandöken, already has all facilities and hotels in place, so that’s your first choice, though Konaklı is the up-and-coming destination.
