Skiing in Greece

• Parnassos is near Arachova in central Greece; Kalavryta is on Mount Chelmos in the Peloponnese.
• Vasilitsa is part of the Pindus range, while Kaimaktsalan is on Mount Voras in the north.
• The four areas are in different parts of the country and should be planned as separate destinations, each with its own journey.
• At Parnassos, the operator provides information on daily operations, access, tickets, rentals and lessons.
• A stay in Kalavryta can combine an overnight visit and local amenities with a day in the mountains.

The Parnassos ski area near Arachova lets you combine a day on the slopes with a stay in central Greece. Arachova is a practical base for accommodation and amenities; your day in the mountains depends on which facilities are open and on conditions at Parnassos. The Parnassos Ski Centre provides tickets and information about rentals, lessons, lifts, slopes, snow and access.

Kalavryta on Mount Chelmos is in the Peloponnese. If you stay in the town of the same name, you can combine your day skiing with its shops and restaurants; allow for the drive to the ski area when planning your schedule.

The Vasilitsa ski area in the Pindus is a northern mountain destination that can be combined with a stay in this region. When travelling there, check the specific winter access route to the mountain. Kaimaktsalan on Mount Voras is also in the north. Staying closer to the mountain, around Edessa or farther towards Thessaloniki will affect your daily drive and the choice of amenities available nearby.

For a single day of skiing, choose accommodation that makes the drive to the mountain fit with the rest of your itinerary. For several days, staying in the nearby town can shorten trips to restaurants and shops. Winter weather can affect mountain roads and operations, so leave plenty of flexibility in your schedule for the drive and return journey. General advice on getting there and back and planning a ski holiday complements the information on choosing a specific area.
