Overview

​

Let’s be a guest to one of the characteristic local mountain pensions at the weekend. We will have a cozy and relaxing stay and an active weekend break on the white covered Turkey’s Dolomites. As typical rural winter night around a wood burning stove with baking chestnuts on it awaits for the guests. We have tranquil valleys to walk during the day and have stories to be told at night. Silence , deep inside the huge valleys and mountain faces are amazing.

​

We will have peaceful walks along those valleys and on the big mountain slopes. Scenic mountains which have their fame as crimson mountains ( Aladaglar ) are always worth to visit. However, a visit in winter time is defintely something. The mountains are silence and alone, the scenery is beautiful, the villages are more welcoming than ever!

​

Our base, a family run village pension, is located in Cukurbag village which is one of the famous gates to the most visited mountain range. The village of apple and cherry growers,and sheep owners is our other door to knock than our homes. The cozy nights, peaceful atmosphere and the friendship has been so inpiring for us for years. So we invite you to this tour as we invite you to our homes.

The hikes may vary due to the snow&weather conditions or to your mood. But the hiking routes and transfers are gentle and definetely scenic. We will hike a couple of hours on each day. We will also walk in the village and visit a typical local village cafe where all lazy times are spent by local men.

​

This program is also available for smaller groups as families or friends’ groups.
