Greece has not only blue sea and amazing beaches...but also mountains of infinite beauty and many interesting mountain destinations. One of them is the Voras-Kaimaktsalan Mountain which, offering the opportunity for a lot of activities is always interesting both in winter and in summer. This mountain, the third highest Greek mountain at an altitude of 2524 meters, is located at the frontiers between Greece and the Republic of North Macedonia and its crest-ridge is the limit line of the two countries. The word "Kaimaktsalan" is of Ottoman Turkish origin inspired by its white, snowy peak: kaymakçalan means 'kaimak beater'. 'Kaimak" in Turkish means "Cream." In Kaimaktsalan mountain there is one of the best ski resorts in Greece most known for its snow quality and duration. The lowest point of the ski resort is at 2050m where is its central shelter, ski chalet, parking and ski schools and its highest point reaches up to 2480m at the end of the Kremassi lift path. This Ski Center has long and wide slopes without difficult ski runs, considered as the ideal center for technical improvement and for skiing in untraded snow paths but what makes it truly irresistible is the spectacular views that reach even the summit of Mount Olympus.

For action and adventure fans, here is the place to experience the most emotions, with varied ski runs, for all tastes. The mountain offers runs ranging from expert to beginner and groomers to slalom challenges. Its consistent pitch and variety of terrain have earned it a reputation as being one of the Greece's finest ski mountains. There are 6 lifts (1 chair lift and 5 sliding lifts) and 13 varied ski runs with a total length of 15 km. The Ski Resort's highlights include a specially designed 4-acre Snowboard Fun Park and the new Playland which is a paradise for children.
