Sarikamis
Sarikamis, nestled in Kars Province of eastern Turkey, is famed for its tragic role in World War I and its serene pine forests and ski resorts.
In 1915, thousands of Ottoman soldiers froze during the Battle of Sarikamis, now honored by memorials and annual commemorations.
Today, its crystal-like snow, dry climate, and quiet slopes attract skiers to one of Turkey’s top winter sports destinations.
Sarikamis is where history, nature, and adventure quietly meet in the snow.
