Uludag, 36km south of Bursa, is one
of the country’s favourite winter sports centres and
as well as skiing, its richness of flora and fauna has
made it into a National Park and summer activities like
|
|
trekking and camping are also popular.
Uludag was previously known as Olympos Misios in ancient
times, and is known in mythology as the place where
the gods watched the Trojan war. Plans have been confirmed
for a development project, which will offer a huge increase
in accommodation and skiing facilities. Its geographical
conditions mean that Uludag Ski Resort can also offer
heli-skiing, snow boarding, ice-skating and snow biking.
Arrival Uludag National
Park can be reached both by highway and cable car. The
Ski resort is 40 minutes away from Bursa by road and
60 minutes from the airport. By private vehicle, the
Cekirge road is the easiest. Drivers must keep wheel
chains, wedges and heavy ropes during winter, which
are available for hire or sale along the roadside. There
are also minibuses going to the top of Uludag which
leave every hour during the winter, and takes around
90 minutes from Bursa.
