Why a Ski Helmet Matters at Erciyes: 2026-2027 Safety and Rental Guide

Mustafa BozkurtUpdated:

Helmets are mandatory on the slopes at Erciyes Ski Resort. How a helmet protects you, how to wear it correctly and renting one at Kartal Kayak Evi.

At Erciyes Ski Resort, wearing a helmet on the slopes is a rule, not a choice. Speed on snow and unexpected collisions at busy times make a helmet essential.

How a Helmet Protects You

  • Impact absorption: In a fall, the hard outer shell spreads the shock and the EPS foam liner absorbs it, reducing the risk of head injury.
  • Goggle fit and visibility: Works together with ski goggles to keep cold wind off your eyes and forehead.
  • Fit and hygiene: Every helmet at Kartal Kayak Evi is disinfected after each rental and adjusted to your head with the fit dial.

Why Kartal Kayak Evi?

  • Cheaper than the rental shops at Erciyes Ski Resort (up to 40% on full sets).
  • Pick up your equipment the evening before and walk straight to the lifts at Tekir or Hisarcık gate in the morning.

Please note: Our shop is in Kayseri, on the road to Erciyes; we have no connection with Kartalkaya Ski Resort in Bolu or Kartal Otel.

Yes. Helmets are mandatory on the slopes at Erciyes Ski Resort. If you don't have one, you can rent one at Kartal Kayak Evi at an affordable price; check Erciyes A.Ş. announcements for current slope rules.

Can I wear a beanie under the helmet?

Thick wool beanies stop the helmet from fitting properly; wear only a thin thermal balaclava underneath.
