Davraz Resort Reviews

Visitor reviews for Davraz Ski Resort



  • January 30, 2012
    Bahri TÜREN from Turkey

    Davraz kayak merkezi 2011-2012 kış sezonu beklenen üzeinde kar aldı. Bu son yılların en güzel sezonuydu. 200-250 cm civarında kar var.Bu yıl pistler harika. hava da çoğu zaman kayak yapmaya uygun. Yalnız telesiyejlerde çıkma problemi var.Rüzgarda işin cabası. Özellikle hafta sonları çok kalabalık. Hele hele birinci telesiyej aşaırı kalabalık.İkinci ve üçüncü telesiyez sanki bu yıl biraz devre dışı kalmış gbi. 2.3. ve 4. telesiyejleri kullanan kayakçılar daima 1. telesiyeji kullanmak zorunda kalıyor. Bu da 1. telesiyejde aşırı yığılmalara sebep oluyor. Bunlara bir çare bulunmalıdır. Birde pist alanları çok taşlı. Bu taşların yaz aylarında kaldırılması gerekir. Kayakçıların 500-1000 Tl ye aldıkları kayakları bir sezonda çok hasar görüyor.İşletmeciler ele ele verip bu problemleri çözmelidirler. Ayrıca gerekli yerlere güzgarlık konulmalıdır. Fiyatlar günü birlik hakikaten pahalı, Ama sezonluk gayet uygun.Hayırlı günler.

    Hatice Ünal from Turkey

    Bu hafta sonu 40 kişiye yakın Sirene otelde kaldık ve otel personelinin ilgisinden ev sahipliğinden çok memnun kaldık. Odalar konforlu, sıcak ve çok rahattı. Kahvaltı ve yemeklerde çeşitli ve lezizdi. Kayak odası hizmeti hızlı ve çok yardımcılardı. Dağ ve kar ise muhteşemdi. Bana göre en önemli sorun Davras da haftasonu liftlerin yavaş çalışmasına, kayakçıların lifte binmesini geciktiren sivil kayak yapmayan gezmeye gelen çok kalabalık var. Kesinlikle buna çözüm bulunmalı. Pistleri ile bu kayak merkezi vazgeçilmez merkezlerden biri olabilir ama lift sayısı artırılmalı, ücretleri özellikle kayakçılar için daha uygun olmalı. Liftle ulaşılan en son tepede cafe restoran tuvalet ihtiyacını karşılayan bir yer yapılmalı. İnsanlar aşağıya inmeden tüm gün o tepelerde kalıp kayabilir. Isparta belediyesi burası için çok çalışmalı çok.

    The lift staff at Davraz are talkative and helpful but I can't say the same for the hotel staff. They are rude and they have a weird attitude against Turkish people.
    The lifts at Davraz total 5 (2 baby lifts, 2 grand lifts and 1 T-bar). The lifts are comfortable but the T-bar is a pain for boarders because it's very steep.
    The pistes and landscape are magnificent. Well I don't really mean pistes as boarders have many paths to ride, all natural and highly-enjoyable.
    Davraz is an expensive ski center but if you buy 2-5 days ski passes it's much cheaper: 1 day ski pass = 45 TL(Turkish Lira) but for 5 days it's 100 TL so you do the maths (for hotel customers those prices are lower - at maybe %50).
    Isparta has many hotels (up to 4 stars), but I suggest "Isparta Öğretmen Evi" which is cheap and is fair quality (clean and safe): 20 TL/day. It's located at the center so is very, very central. You can rent cars from different 'rent-a-car' places. The hotel could help you with this. It's around 40-50 TL for a fine car.
    I also have been in Uludağ and comparing to Uludağ (all pistes, lifts), Davraz rocks. I have heard good things about Kartalkaya ski center but I have no info about it.
    If you are looking for nice night clubs and cafes and services like these go to Uludağ. But if you want some ski/boarding experience in natural surroundings with pistes + free-ride, go to Davraz.
    Have fun :)
    P.s. all the prices and info are up to date for 2009 season.

    Davraz'a bu yaz gelmiştim. Kışın kayak merkezi olmasının yanında aynı zamanda spor merkezi olmuş. Türkiyeden 1. lig takımları kamp için gelmişler. Kış merkezi olmasının yanında yazın iyi bir spor merkezi olmaya aday. Yeni futbol sahaları yapılıyor. Teleferiklerin yanındaki kafeler ve kayak odası tamamen yenilenmiş. Bu kış umarım daha iyi hizmet verirler.

    Merhabalar, ben her sene kayak tatilimi Avusturya Voralberg te geciriyorum, 250 km pistleri ve 60 tan fazla lifltlere sahip bir kayak merkezi. Gecen kis Davrazda güzel bir tatil gecirdim 3 gün, Kar kalitesi harika sirin bir yer, gel gelelim fiyatlara, benim anlamadigim oradaki isletmeciler neye göre fiyatlari belirliyor?? Avusturyadaki en ünlü kayak merkezlerinden daha pahali !!!!!!! Ben oradaki isletmecilere bir tavsiyede bulunayim!!Lütfen bu isi bilmiyorsaniz bos vakitlerinizden 1 haftanizi ayirip Avusturya veya Isvicreye gidin, ve adamlarin kis turizmini ne kadar harika bir sekilde insanlarin hizmetine sunduklarini görün, sizin icin tek önemli olan sey kasaniza giren paranin hesabini yapmak, iste bu sekilde bizim ülkemiz gelisemiyor. Cünkü herkes kafasina göre tutturmus bir yol gidiyor. Yapmayin arkadaslar herseyin uslü adabi ve sistemi var. Böyle kafaniza göre is yaparsaniz hem kendi geleceginize hemde Davraz Turizminin gelecegine balta vurursunuz!!! Lütfen elinizi vicdaniniza koyun.....

    John &Elizabeth Lain from United Kingdom

    My Husband and I had a days skiing at Davraz and had a great time. We were really impressed with the lifts which were quite new, not what we were expecting. Although only two lifts, we had a great day. The hire shop was brilliant. They even put your boots on and pulled them off at the end of the day, which is usually a struggle. Hire of boots and skis 30lire. Ski suits are available to hire as well.

    murats from Turkey

    Pistler beklediğimden daha iyi çıktı. Gayet tatminkar. Liftlerin işletmesi daha iyi olabilir. Daha fazla lift yapılabilir. Otel konaklaması çok zayıf. Ski pass biraz pahalı geldi bana. Yeme içme sıkıntılı.

    Ama potansiyel büyük, ıspartalı kayak yap!!! Merkezini kalkındır. Saklıkente 5 basar bence...

    Baris from Turkey

    I've had my best snowboard holiday in Davraz. It was just like the photo on this page. Everywhere was covered with at least 4-5 meters of powder snow and the sun was above. There was a natural pipe of more than 1 km., it's really a mountain to see, lots of natural shapes makes Davraz great for free riding. The worst part is there are only two lifts servicing.
