The Troodos mountains spring to life not only in the middle of the hot summer as a cool refuge and holiday resort, but also in winter, as this is the skiing
centre for Cyprus. Yes it is true, swim in the morning and ski in the afternoon , or vice versa of course.

Here you can take advantage of the pleasures of winter sports under the beautiful blue Mediterranean sky. Mount Olympus has several ski slopes and is fun
for skiers and players in the snow of all levels and age.

Skiing can be enjoyed on the slopes of Mount Olympus at 1951 metres a.s.l., usually from the beginning of January to the end of March.
Mount Olympus is only 3km from the Troodos hill resort, 12km from Platres hill resort, and about an hours drive from the seaside towns of Limassol or Paphos
or even the Capital Nicosia.

An International F.I.S. Skiing competition is organised every year by the Cyprus Ski Federation and takes place at the Zeus Slalom Homologated Pits.

Cyprus is one of the few places in the world where on the same morning you can ski on the snow clad sides of Mount Olympus, and in less than an hour,
swim or sunbathe at the coast.
