Karpenisi Ski Resort Guide

Καρπενήσι (Karpenisi) is a small town located in a remote area of the Pindos Mountains, roughly half way between Lamia Λαμία (78km) and Agrinio, 284km from Athens (Αθήνα). The area, Evritania, has been likened to a little Switzerland and with good reason. Majestic craggy limestone mountains tower over rustic villages where steep roofs indicate how snowy winters can be. The smallish Velouchi ski area is 11km from Καρπενήσι (Karpenisi) and comprises 11 pistes between 1840m and 2220m, served by 7 lifts and high enough to be snowsure. Skiing is suitable for mixed abilities, especially intermediates. There is a ski school and a cafeteria, but little else off-slope on the mountainside above Καρπενήσι (Karpenisi).
