Mt Olympus summary

The sport of skiing first appeared on Cyprus sometime around 1934, when a group of people created the first 'Mountaineering Club' of the island. After World War II, the Cyprus Ski Club was created in 1947 and since then it has a leading role in the development of skiing on the island. The first lift was built and operated on the eastern face of Mt Olympus, while a second lift was built in 1951 to the west of Troodos Square. Today many hundreds of Cypriots and perhaps as many foreigners enjoy the wonderful sport of skiing every winter on the beautiful slopes of Mt Olympus. Skiing, with its 60 year plus history on this island, is here not only to stay, but to continue its growth. The nearest airport to Mt Olympus is Larnaka.

Visitor Reviews of Mt Olympus

Stelios from CYPRUS writes:

I've been skiing in Troodos mountains since i was a kid. I keep going there because there is no other place for skiing in Cyprus. Im happy because at least we have a small ski resort in my Country. Anyway the ski center is in very bad contition. Ski lifts are very old and a ski lift pass is very expensive for what the ski resort ofers. In Cyprus we don't have much snow but making artificial snow may be a solution. Snow canons are there just for decoration. The ski center has two chalets: Sunvaley and Dias. Dias is a modern chalet with restaurant and you can access the ski slope from there. At sun valey you can rent skis but the chalet is in very bad contition. They say now for 11 years that they going to built a new one. I hope that soon things will change in Troodos since is the only place to ski in Cyprus
