During
the winter months, many visitors decend onto Mount Pelion
to take part in winter sports and ski on the famous slopes
of Agriolefkes.
The
ski centre, located at an altitude of 1500m is highly regarded
as one of the best international standard ski centres.
The
Agriolefkes ski centre was one of the two first ski centres
to operate in Greece. It is easily accessible from Volos
(27km) and from Portaria (12 km).

The
ski slopes of "Thetis", "Panorama",
"Falconera" and the "Amateurs" all combine

slope for "strength" and two circluar slopes,
which total 3000m in length.

the Agriolefekes ski centre on Mount Pelion, there is a ski school
which is open for beginners and youngsters. If you have never
skied before, you can have some lessons here before you hit the
slopes for the first time.
The
ski centre is a very popular winter destination, and here you
will find a wide variety of people of all ages, who have come
together for their love for ski and winter sports. One of the
first things you will experience here is the friendly atmosphere

As
well as basic ski, there are also options for the more adventurous.

available which has 80 beds, as well as a restaurant and coffee
bar, where you can enjoy a meal or drink whilst taking a break from

Though
there are several ski centres around Greece, and many more in
Europe, it is hard for any of these others to be able to match
the stunning views that are on offer at the Pelion ski centre.
With
views looking out to the Pagasitic Gulf as well as the Aegean
