At the small chalet
We head to the small chalet, since the larger, and more recently built one is closed today. A huge stove is burning, and we approach it, since it’s freezing cold. It’s a real joy being inside such a space, warm, surrounded by wood, while outside there’s a snowstorm. Christos, who knows the snow and the area better than anyone, tells us not to worry, the road will remain clear.

So, we don’t worry, and spend some enjoyable moments there. It’s the best opportunity to learn more about the ski resort. It’s located at 1,790 m altitude, and it’s the newest ski resort in Greece.
There are five slopes, ideal for all levels of skiers, and also for snowboarding, while very experienced athletes can ski downhill on fresh snow. There is a two-seat 800 m lift, two brand new sliding lifts, one 280 m and one 300m one, two baby lifts, 80m and 120m respectively, as well as piste machines that help in the creation of the perfect conditions.
It’s already the middle of March, and it will be spring soon, which means that soon the snow will melt, even though the current snowstorm prolongs the ski season for a few days. We learn however, that the Anilio ski resort remains open in the summer, since it organises fell running races, walking tours, and many other activities that attract many visitors.
