Ski Turkey: Lira for Uludag and the Slopes You Never Knew

Few British travellers realise Turkey has a ski season, from Uludag above Bursa to Erciyes in central Anatolia, at prices that undercut the Alps. It is a cash-friendly corner of the ski world, so buy Turkish lira before you go; a commission-free provider such as Travel FX makes it simple.

On the mountain

Lift passes at smaller resorts, kit hire from independent shops, mountain lokanta lunches and instructor tips are commonly settled in lira.

Apres, Turkish style

Post-ski salep, kebabs and hammam sessions in Bursa are small cash pleasures that make the trip.
