This Winter Mountaineering and Basic Snow-and-Ice Training at Erciyes Dağı is designed for those who want to learn to move safely in snowy conditions and understand the mountain’s language in winter. This advanced training, which requires managing risk and equipment, progresses step by step and safely with experienced instructors.
This training covers the vital techniques of winter mountaineering: safe movement on snow and ice, use of the ice axe and crampons, self-arrest, avalanche awareness, building igloos and snow caves, and survival in harsh conditions. It opens the door to a risky but equally rewarding field.
Erciyes, Central Anatolia’s 3,917-meter volcanic giant, is an ideal mountain for both training and summit attempts thanks to its easy access and varied routes.
The training is suitable for adults with basic nature experience who want to step into winter mountaineering. A good level of fitness is important; resilience to cold and openness to learning are expected. The participation conditions are shared clearly before the reservation.
The program progresses with a theoretical briefing, an introduction to the equipment and practice on a controlled snowfield. Ice-axe and crampon techniques, self-arrest and shelter building (igloo/snow cave) are worked on one-to-one in the field. Depending on conditions, a winter-night experience is also lived by setting up camp.
Your safety is our priority: the whole program is run with certified mountain guides and planned according to the group, experience and seasonal conditions. If weather and mountain conditions are unsuitable, the program is postponed to a safe date. First-aid and communication equipment are always with the team.
Before participation, a detailed personal equipment list is sent to you. In general, you need layered clothing suited to the season, sturdy mountain boots, a raincoat, a hat, gloves, sunglasses, a headlamp and personal care items. Technical group equipment (tent, rope, stove, etc.) is provided by the organization.
The package includes winter mountaineering training with a certified instructor, technical group equipment (basic gear such as ice axe and crampons included), theoretical and practical lessons, accommodation and the stated meals, and a certificate of attendance. The personal equipment list is shared in advance.
Learn to read the mountain and move safely in winter. Reserve your place and take your skills to the next level among the snows of Erciyes Dağı.
