Guide
Ergan Dağı rises to a summit of about 2,970 m only some 12 km from the centre of Erzincan, and Erzincan Airport is a 10–15 minute drive away. Its broad, long runs of varying difficulty are linked into a single network, served by chairlifts and a cable car, and lit sections allow night skiing. There are sledging areas and safe zones for families, along with cafés, places to eat and rest areas, and the Turkish Ski Federation holds competitions on the mountain.
Outside the ski season the mountain is used for trekking, mountain biking and paragliding, and there are camping and picnic areas.
