The majestic Kackar Mountains, stretching across the border of Turkiye’s Rize and Artvin provinces, have once again become the global epicenter for heliskiing, an adrenaline-fueled sport that combines high-altitude skiing with breathtaking aerial views.

As the season kicks off, helicopters have begun transporting professional athletes and thrill-seekers to the untouched peaks of the range. Known for its high-quality “powder” snow and challenging slopes, the Kackar range continues to solidify its reputation as one of the few premier heliskiing destinations in the world.

Local officials expect a high level of international interest this season as the region’s natural beauty remains a major draw for winter sports enthusiasts.
