Winter Skiing

There are 3 ski centres in the Peloponnese, did you know that?! So, you can come to Greece in the winter and combine your sightseeing with winter skiing!

With Daphne’s Club as your departure point, there is a small but interesting list of ski resorts you could try out while visiting Greece in the winter:

1. Mount Ziria

Approximate distance from Daphne’s Club: 45 km
Description
: There is a small ski resort on Mount Ziria , called the “winter sports centre of Ziria”. It has one small beginner’s lift and one half red/half blue piste. The centre is great to initiate your children, or yourself, to the joys of winter skiing!

The mountain is full of forest roads where you can go for Nordic skiing. Although these roads are not prepared for Nordic skiers, the snow has usually been flattened by the occasional passing vehicle and can therefore be easily ridden with your skis. You could call the sport “off-piste Nordic skiing”! The itineraries you could ski are very beautiful, as you pass through virgin territory. The views of the snowy peaks of Mount Ziria provide a perfect backdrop for your itinerary!

And if you are an extreme sports type and prefer ski touring or ski mountaineering or the equivalent snowboard version, mount Ziria could provide you with some astonishing terrain… with views of the sea!

2. Mount Chelmos

Approximate distance from Daphne’s Club: 85 km
