Mt Erciyes receives Tripadvisor's Certificate of Excellence

Honoring accommodations, restaurants and attractions that consistently receive great traveler reviews on TripAdvisor, the travel website's Certificate of Excellence has recently been presented to Erciyes Ski Resort, in the central province of Kayseri.

As the highest mountain in central Anatolia, located in the Cappadocia region, with its summit reaching 3,916 meters (12,848 ft.), Mount Erciyes hosted 2 million local and international tourists last season, all while achieving high customer satisfaction. Murad Cahid Cıngı, the chairman of the board of Erciyes A.Ş., said the center is proud to receive the award.

The ski resort area on Mount Erciyes houses 10 hotels, with an almost 1,500 bed capacity, and offers a cozy atmosphere to families. The cable car system eases transportation issues, and the region hosts several international winter sports festivals, with its 34 ski tracks extending 102 kilometers (63 miles).

Scheduled for March of next year, the International Ski Federation (FIS) Snowboard World Cup will be taking place in Erciyes. Around 120 snowboarders from around the world will compete in the tournament, which will be broadcast live to millions across the world.
