Heli-skiing in Turkey
Seems ridiculous to heliski in Turkey, since you might associate this country with sunny beaches. But don't forget that it is a mountainous country. Here, mountains can reach almost up to 4 km high, including the highest mountain Kaçkar Dağı which is 3937 meters high. This means that there's snow and there's lots of it. The heliskiing takes place on an area of 100 km by 30 km, located in the north-east where Turkey boarders Georgia. There's a short flight from any European location and a choice to spend some time in the amazing city of Istanbul.
