Our family is regular visitor in Kalavryta Ski Resort during the last decade, and it is obvious among us that a tremendous service upgrade has been achieved within the previous 4 years.
The ski slopes are well prepared daily, Chalet’s services are friendly and well organized, Ski schools are relocated and easily accessed, while the new kindergarden facility is an excellent facility for families with youngsters. To make a long story short, well done to the staff, keep on your good work guys! :)

Hi!
I'm a frequent visitor of both Helmos and Parnassos. Before I depart from Athens I visit the sites of the ski centers, to make sure that it worth's making the trip. Kalavrita have surprised me positively this year as they have established an early warning system, i.e. from 7:00 am they start giving reliable info either on their site or on the telephone (yes, there is a very polite lady answering the telephone early in the morning!!). Parnassos and Kalavrita are considered as supplementary ski areas. They are around the same distance from Athens and very rarely are both closed. Both are very close to the top of their mountain, so they are strongly affected by the winds, however, I appreciate their dedication to our safety.

I have been snowboarding in Helmos for many years! In the last couple of years I have seen a great improvement in the services of the Ski Center. Especially on family oriented devices the new Learn 'n Play center offers the opportunity to parents to leave their children to do activities in the center while they are enjoying their skiing! Great idea! The prices, compared to other similar facilities, are very reasonable, if not a bargain! Two of my friends, who had children, were excited for this facility! And with the reduced prices for skier-parents, it is super! Thank you and a great job!

We took the kids, mid-week, on a week that wasn't a local school holiday and as a result the carpark was empty at the foot of the slopes. Nothing but a baby tow was open. There was some wind but not enough to shut a chairlift. However, the bottom chair remained shut all day. No useful information about if things would run the next day so we left and drove over to Parnassos which, thankfully, seemed more interested in providing ski services than overpriced drinks to hopeful skiers. Would love to rate the slopes at Helmos but, unfortunately, didn't get to see them and won't bother with the drive again.

One of the most wonderful ski resorts in Greece. Unfortunately, without the relevant management. This ski resort should stop being manipulated by the management. The ideal would be that pros should take charge so that the existing facilities will be exploited at the most. The prices should be relevant to the offering services so that "fair for money" can be applied. The management should finally decide which target group it aims at. Will it be a family destination or something else? Successful ending without success can not exist.

Found the road up to the resort better than the other roads lower down. No ice to worry about; I would guess these are sprayed as and when. The staff guided us to ski hire and were very friendly and helpful; good English too. On top, amazed to see how much snow there was despite lower areas being clear and some very challenging runs; most fun I've had in years. Definitely coming back again. Hey, and it was warm enough to swim still when we got back to Kalamata. Where else can you do that?

Hello to all!
I would just like to share with you the last experience I had at the resort this Sunday: 10/03/2013.
Unexcused shutting down of the pistes, especially the Piataki! Ok, I admit that the weather was windy but even though there was no reason for closing Piataki!
Worse service from the employees, even when they did mistakes when issuing the day pass, not a single trace of doing their best to serve!
To sum up, and not to make myself boring by adding more words. In general, the ski resort, despite its picturesque image, has the worst service and the most expensive prices for skipass! Unacceptable! Definitely, I wouldn't suggest the resort to someone else!

Lousy ski area website:
I wanted to have a look and see how conditions were today at Helmos ski resort. Thought of skiing tomorrow maybe.
Well, this is what I found on their website:
Web cam 1 shows a picture of some concrete
Web cam 2 shows a picture taken on 18 Feb -in the middle of the night
Web cam 3 shows a view from the chalet, taken yesterday
Web cam 4 shows a foggy picture of the top of the Stiga lift. Nothing of value, but at least it is taken today
Now, the Kalavrita-ski website was fine some five years ago. Since then it has become worse each year. No organisation at all, confusing, illogical -and ugly!

Since last Friday we all knew that weather conditions would be all time yesterday Wednesday the 20th: sunshine and virtually no winds plus fresh snow from the days before.
So we reach the resort around 10:00 with the snow bus and the conditions where even better than what we expected, truly all time. But we found out that Nefeli piste and the Stiga lift will be closed throughout the day and the staff haven't prepared virtually anything else. No snowpark, even the drag lines were not working except for the one at the base.
Everyone was cramped at the base lift and drag line, making the wait hilarious for a weekday and so tiring that you couldn't perform on the "slopes" afterwards. Whatever the managers or staff have to say, this Wednesday was a disgrace and surely solidified our belief that it is not a skiing resort, but just a great mountain with some derelict lifts and some people who are satisfied with their business working below even the bare minimum and in days that would be epic for everyone!
They might reply to this but really there is nothing that they can say about the situation yesterday which was a disgrace. If you cannot prepare your "resort" for such a great day, you do not belong in this business, period. And the "great snowfall" excuse is hilarious to say the least. I love this mountain so much! I have been snowboarding for 4 years exclusively at Helmos. The conditions at the resort are so awful but I keep on going there. That's how good this mountain is and how bad the owners/managers/staff have always been at their business.
I really hope this review makes it through moderation so people can read it and reach the "resort" prepared. Even though i am Greek, i wrote my review in English so foreign skiers/snowboarders know what to expect from Helmos' alleged "snow resort" if and when they come. Such a shame, these people are sitting on the best mountain for skiing/snowboarding in Greece and have absolutely no clue on how to use it. Such a shame.

I have been skiing to Helmos since the early days the snow centre was established... As a result I have experienced both good and the worst service conditions (due to staff or management behaviour or decisions). The last one or two years something looks to be orientated to the right direction and the snow-centre (which is always in my heart, beautiful as it is) has made at last some progress in terms of service and value for money. I used to say that it has turned to be an honest ski centre with proper piste preparation even on weekdays.
This season though, it looks as if they have made a step back in time... It is true that the weather has been rough on them, but snow is what a ski centre is expecting and wishing to have after all!!!
In my eyes it is inexplicable how the centre is half closed most days this season due to excessive snow... Come on people check your priorities once more and try to keep the center open from bottom to top (maybe not with all the pistes open)... We cannot come to the centre only to ski to Faidra till 12.00 in the best scenario while having to tolerate excuses like "we had a grate snowfall yesterday"!!! So what? when you manage a ski centre it is your first target to be able to maintain good working conditions for the center after such "blessed" days with heavy snow fall, to be able to preserve the snow that has fallen and keep most of the center open the next day!!! Is "Faidra" and in some cases "Achilies" what you call "most of Kalavrita ski resort"?
Please, please, please, take into consideration those thoughts, from someone who loves skiing Helmos both in and out of prepared pistes and who would like to ski "Ino" groomed just once (which means you have to keep it like this for a week or so unless you announce the preparation for the following days on the website so we can organise our trip to Helmos)...
