Season
Winter ski operation is snow-dependent and can be limited; year-round park services have separate schedules.
Check before you drive up
Greek lifts are snow- and wind-dependent — a published count isn't a promise. The 3.85 km figure is the sum of five published alpine-piste lengths and excludes the 7 km cross-country route.
Details are checked but change without notice — always confirm opening hours, transport and conditions directly before you travel.
