The Log House stands at the entrance to the Sarıkamış Bayraktepe ski centre. It was built by the special provincial administration of the Kars governorate and opened in 2017.
What it stands in the middle of is Scots pine forest, and what Sarıkamış is known for is the crystalline powder snow skied on here, one of the more important addresses of winter tourism in Türkiye. Getting there means a car, hired or your own.
