Heliskiing Season takes off in the Kackar Mountains

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.
