DETAILS

The skiable terrain accessible from the Ikizdere base covers some 4,500km2. The highest point in the range is Kaçkar Dağı (3937m). Ikizdere is located in the west of the Kaçkar range, with Ayder to the north.

We ski at altitudes of between 1500m and 3700m. The vertical drops for our runs range from 500m to 1400m. To date our run catalogue includes more than 350 descents over varied Alpine ground that is perfect for heliskiing. We predominantly ski above the treeline in open ground but we do still get some great runs through the trees. Thanks to the variety of terrain available here we can take you to the runs you feel most comfortable with.

The nearest heliskiing area to the hotel is only an 8-minute flight away and the bases are 20-25 minutes from each other by helicopter.

Ikizdere is perfect if you are looking for:
- More comfortable and luxurious hotel facilities plus a spa centre
- Proximity to Trabzon [only 1hrs 30 min drive from the airport]
- Terrain that is perfect for heliskiing

You will have a helicopter at your disposal for your group for the entire week. This allows you to ski at your own pace throughout the week. You are free to choose where you ski and fly in an area of 4,500km2.

Groups are led by a minimum of 2 guides, with a maximum group size of 12. You also have the choice of spending 1 or more nights in a small and remote village on the opposite side of the Kaçkar range.
