  Probably the best snow center in north Greece (Falakro is the other). Good, lengthy runs. Some considerably faster lifts, nice views but rude people..big queues during the weekend, semi-working during the week provides only 3 out of 7 lifts.

  Things are getting better in Vasilitsa resort every year. Apart from the 2 chair lifts there are now 6 surface lifts (3 surface, 2 baby and 1 new connecting lift). So total lifts:8. The mountain is very beautiful, usually gets a lot of snow, nice powder. The best of all is the off-piste, nice powder paths between the trees and excellent sunny days! The snow season is usually between Christmas until the beginning of April. There are 3 chalets with restaurants and bars and also the nearest village Smixi has some nice tavernas (greek traditional restaurants) and rooms for rent.(and also some bars)

  Ok lets be honest, there are no snowparks there. There is only one hole that it is supposed to be a halfpipe. No dragon Pipe availiable so no halfpipe, No rails, no jumps. The term "snowpark" does not exist. However the natural terrain is very nice with many nice spots where someone can create his own jumps. So you have to spend one of day from your holidays to create some jumps if you want to enjoy snowboarding. The staff is really disorganized and not helpfull at all.

  The good things are: Nice natural terain, trees, good quality of snow - during the mid of the season vasilitsa has the biggest amount of snow regarding to other Greek resorts, nice freeriding but the resort is so small that your biggest ride will last 5 to 10 minutes. The lift pass if very cheap and the season pass costs only 150 euros.

  The dad things Are: Although that Vasilitsa has many snowboarders there is nothing done there for them. Not even a small typical snowpard with 2 or 3 jumps.
  The staff has no clue about tourism and friendship. Most of the time, because of the big depth of snow, one of the major connecting lifts (2 Seat chair lift) does not work.
  There is no connection within the lifts so in most of the cases you must start walking untill you get to the next lift (if you want to go from the distrato lift to Christos Migdanis you must take a long walk; there is one small connecting lift but the staff are too bored to turn it on) When it gets really crowded there is nothing done from the staff to make your life easier. In most of the cases and especially during the week only some of the lifts are working. Some lifts work once or twice during the season!!! ( Timfaia and Christos Migdanis Lifts )

  I have been visiting Vasilitsa for 7 years now and during all these years, nothing has been done there to make things better. Ok the food is nice, the wine and the tsipouro are cool, but dont forget that Vasilitsa is not a restaurant but a snowresort.

  Just came back from a 5day stay in Vasilitsa. By far the most beautiful resort I have visited in Greece. Great scenery, very interesting pistes of all levels, very good quality of snow and cheap. Completely worth the 6 hour drive from Athens. Unfortunately there is not much snow right now. Just adequate to ski for another 1-2 days max, if it doesn't snow in the meantime.
  2 perfectly located chalets right on the pistes - incredible view!. Major disadvantage: the service at the chalet & lifts. Polite but completely disorganized and too bored to help you. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend.
