The most important feature that distinguishes Erciyes Ski Center from many other centers in the world is its incredible proximity to the airport and the city center. Located only 25 kilometers from Kayseri city center, transportation to Erciyes is very comfortable regardless of weather and road conditions. Here are the most practical ways to go up to Erciyes from Kayseri.
1. Transportation by Private Car (Most Comfortable Option)
You can use the wide asphalt road, which is kept open constantly, passing through Hisarcık town by following the "Erciyes" signs from the city center. The journey takes about 20-25 minutes.
🚗 Important Tip: On this route, you will see Kartal Kayak Evi just before starting to climb the mountain. You can pull your car in front of our store and meet your chain, ski rental, or market needs here without being exposed to exorbitant prices on the mountain.
2. Erciyes Buses (Metropolitan Municipality)
During the ski season (December - April), regular bus services are organized by Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality from Cumhuriyet Square and in front of Seyyid Burhaneddin Tomb. Flights usually start at 09:00 in the morning and continue until the ski center closes in the evening. It is a very economical method but can be crowded on weekends.
3. Develi Minibuses (Dolmus)
If you miss the municipal bus times, don't worry! Develi minibuses departing from Kayseri District Terminal also pass through the Erciyes Ski Center (Tekir Kapı) route. It is possible to reach the mountain with these minibuses departing every 15-20 minutes.
4. Taxi and VIP Transfer
If you want faster and private transportation, you can choose taxi or VIP transfer companies. However, this option is more costly than others.
Summary:
Whichever means of transportation you choose, your route will definitely pass in front of Kartal Kayak Evi on the Hisarcık road. We are waiting for you to take a tea break, get information about road conditions, or complete your missing equipment before going up the mountain. Have a nice trip!
