Ziria Ski Centre

Ziria Ski Centre is located at the northeastern edge of Mount Ziria (Killini), at an altitude of 2.376 metres and only 10 Km from Trikala of Korinth. The Ski Centre has a ski run for beginners plus a baby lift and we can even have ski lessons. If we are more advanced, there is a ski run for intermediate and difficult levels with a chair lift (700 meters), but also sleighs for children and snowmobiles which we can rent for the day and discover the mountain. Unfortunately, it still remains closed for the winter season due to the mild weather conditions. As far as your accommodation arrangements are concerned, select Pliadon Gi Mountain Resort & Spa which constitutes a luxurious complex of 20 suites and a majestic swimming pool with stunning views to nature.

 

Menalo Ski Resort

Menalo Ski Resort is located in mountainous Arcadia up on the Ostrakina mountain range and at an altitude of 1.600 meters. This particular ski resort constitutes an ideal solution for beginners of the sport since it boasts a few fairly easy runs. You will find it equally appealing if you simply want to foolish around with snow! Discover snowmobiles park and the designated area for snowtubes. The Ski Resort is at only 12 Km from Kapsia village and 16 Km from Levidi village, while its close proximity to the capital Athens (162 Km) make it the most easily accessible ski resort for the Athenians. Menalo Ski Resort is almost ready to open for the winter season in the next few days.

Due to the fact that it is very close to the villages Kapsia and Levidi, we suggest you make accommodation arrangements at Trésor’s hotel-members Archontiko Kaltezioti and Villa Vager. At Archontiko Kaltezioti the owners are accountable for the conversion of a family mansion -dating back to the year 1860- into a marvelous guest house. Guests will immediately feel at home and the owners will treat them as friends that came to visit. Villa Vager was built in 1843 upon the highest hill of Levidi village. The impressive stone mansion was refurbished with great care and absolute respect to its original architecture and promises an unforgettable getaway .

Pertouli Ski Center may not be known for its size but this, however, cannot be taken as a negative characteristic. It is easily accessible within a beautiful site absolutely drenched in the green nature and within a region which demonstrates great touristic development. A visit at the Pertouli Ski Center will fulfil a family’s love for the snow sports but it is not the best option for advanced skiers. It boasts three runs plus 1 aerial lift with double seat, 1 sliding with one seat, 2 draglifts and 1 baby lift.
