Area Profile
Mount Olympus
Snow falls on the Troodos Mountains from December through to March. The snow accumulates at an altitude of 4500 feet, especially on the north slopes. Mount Olympus, with an altitude of 6402ft always has a cap of snow for three or four months of the year. This is also where the Troodos Skiing Resort is based.
You can enjoy cross country trails and alpine skiing at the resort. There are four separate slopes - two on the north side of Mount Olympus, and two in Sun Valley.
Many people would not associate the island of Cyprus or Ayia Napa with snow skiing. However, this is a widely known extreme sport around the area.
