    Great day out, but with some drawbacks

    Having never skied before in my life (I am now 40 years old), I was nervous to try it. The Guide, Celil, and the Instructor, Emir, were both very helpful and reassuring. The Erciyes resort was bustling and clearly well maintained. On arrival we were taken to our meeting point/base for the day and given our food vouchers. We were then put into gear and given a short lesson in how to ski. After that, time was our own to do with as we pleased until 4pm. Not included in the cost was the price of the magic carpet to take you up to the 'bunny run'/ practice slope (which was actually being used by everyone from beginners up to experienced skiers), but this was expected and the cost is minimal (200TL for 5 trips up (a little over £3) or 400TL for 10 (about £6)). I opted for 5 trips, which was more than sufficient to give me the opportunity to have a go on the practice slope. In all, I had an amazing day. Only cons to the trip: The meeting point/base for the day wasn't the cleanest, but I didn't expect the ritz as there were people coming and going covered in snow - so it was to be expected. The equipment available needed some TLC - pants and jackets weren't very clean and had tears and the poles were bent. Not a major issue, but did take some of the gloss off the trip. We understand that snow is slippery - but my friend who I did the trip with fell outside the meeting point/base and hit his head and nobody helped him (which was unusual to us as Turkish people are normally very good at helping when someone is hurt). When he reported this to someone this wasn't flagged to anyone and there was no checking to make sure he hadn't injured himself. This was a serious concern to me and I was very annoyed that nothing was done.

    I definitely would recommend

    I loved my first experiment skiing, Celil our tour guide was super friendly, warm and kind. He made sure to check in with me, especially because I came alone. He was always available. He explained where the important spots were very clearly. My overall experience was amazing! Hakan our driver was also friendly and kind, and drove safely. I will be recommending to my friends back at home.

    Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Goreme.

    How much does Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Goreme usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Goreme is not rushed.

    Is Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 93 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Goreme, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor?

    +

    Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Goreme can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Goreme and add a light layer if any part of the 6.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Goreme within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Goreme?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Goreme experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Red (North) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and tickets, Green (South) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and ticket, Cappadocia Green Tour - Classic Route (Popular). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Goreme?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Goreme?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor?

    +

    Included: Skiing Instructor; Lunch; Full Equipment; and AC Transportation. Not included: Cable Car; and tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 730 listed pickup locations in and around Goreme. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Erciyes Ski and Snowboard Tour with Full Equipment & Instructor wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
