Mountain statistics:

Base: 2200 m (7,217ft)

Top station: 3400 m (11,155ft)

Vertical drop: 1200 m (3,900ft)

Summit: 3917 m (12,850ft)

Terrain: Predominantly beginner and intermediate (blue and red) groomed runs accessed by high speed bubble chairs and a Gondola from the Main base area at Tekir Kapi. Several more difficult (black) pistes are off of Divan, Sirt, Hittit, and Ottoman Lifts. The Ottoman Lift hosts easy access to off piste terrain, thought it is often closed due to the changing weather conditions at 3400m. On a good weather/snow day There is incredible steep, open terrain here. Off-piste terrain and weather can quickly become extreme(ski patrol does not mitigate risks or guarantee rescue when leaving the ski area, proceed with caution).
