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
Olaf from Cyprus writes:
The season is pretty much arriving! We had the first light snow yesterday. We hope that Christmas is white!
The prices of the services are down, the Sun Valley Cafeteria has been renovated, the ski lifts inspected, the web camera has been repaired. In addition some minor problems of the North Face ski lift have been solved with additional power supply provided to the lift.
Ski people up there are optimistic for the new season despite the economic recess that hits the island.
In Troodos there are two hotels offering accommodation.They also offer dining in addition to the ski club. Some small souvenir shops also exist in the Troodos Square.
I will report again as the resort opens for ski business. Mind you that the Sun Valley Ski Club restaurant is open throughout the year offering delicious meals in a newly decorated cozy restaurant room.
Lets hope for a great & safe season!
