I came here in July, nothing much to do there except Looking at the beautiful view of mountains. In winter there are many activities to do.

Very nice resort , amazing stay, and unforgettable experience. İt was a very long drive of almost 4 hours with some stops on the way for food and stretching my legs. The road side was beautiful as you are surrounded by nature, either green mountains or green farms filled with livestock feeding. To the white tipped mountains due to snow. The higher you descend while driving the whiter everything becomes. The trees are covered with a layer of white ice. Struggling with vision driving into fog and snow storm. I arrived the resort in the afternoon but it felt like night as there was no place to find the sun in the sky. Because the fog and the storm most of the activities were unlikely to enjoy, although I tried the cable-car which was not worth it, as you can't see anything. I enjoyed the quad bike and horse back riding on the snow. I headed back to the hotel ,At night I enjoyed good meals , sweets and drinks in the hotel restaurants. I tried to drive to a near by hotel that served shisha but driving was impossible. So I went back to my room in despair, hoping that tomorrow the weather would be clearer. The next day was different experience, as the weather was so good. Right after breakfast I headed to the service centre, and I found out as a guest I have some free tickets to the activities. So I tried the zipline which was nice, Then headed to the skiing school , geared up and took my first ever ski class, and it was successful as I ended up skiing and making turns and braking. Then it was time to goodbye.

We went during winter time and there are too many re-creation activities such as horse riding, ATV, ski, cable lifts and etc. Quite expensive, from activities to rental to souvenirs But we enjoy the place...
