Ski & snow in Cyprus
Including Troodos Ski Resort. On the map.
The vibe
Skiing here is a surreal experience, where you can look down from a snowy peak to see the sparkling blue sea in the distance. The season is short and unpredictable, usually peaking in mid-winter when a sudden cold snap blankets the highest slopes. It is a modest, local-run affair with a few vintage lifts, feeling more like a charming community outing than a major alpine resort.
