There’s probably still a misconception that Cyprus is just a small Mediterranean island with palm trees, clear seas, and sandy beaches! But there are mountains with pine trees and a lot of snow on them during the winter! During the winter months Cyprus have the most wonderful snowy slopes for skiers and people to build snowmen and go sledding!
Cyprus not only has sunshine, it has snow all through the month of January until March. If we are lucky enough, the first snowfall will be in December since winter season Cyprus is December to February. Troodos mountain is 2000 meters above sea level and Mount Olympus is the Highest peak of Troodos mountains. This mountain, has 4 slopes for skiers to ski:
1) Zeus Slope which 380 metres are located on the North face which is best for advance level skiers.
