Visitor Reviews of Sarıkamış


Askin Senel from TURKEY writes:

It is a very nice place, with pistes surrounded by pine trees. Sometimes you have the absolute silence while climbing up and this is really surprising.
The snow quality is good. However, the piste alternatives are not very rich. The pistes are not difficult either, I mean even so called black piste should be, at most, red. It is a nice experience though and worth a visit. Especially would be good for varying experience level groups and families.
