Discover Ski Touring in Greece: Pindos Mountains Winter Adventures
Discover a different side of Greece. Beyond sandy beaches and summer holidays, Greece is one of the top three most mountainous countries in Europe. The Greek mainland features rugged peaks ranging from 1,000 to nearly 3,000 meters in altitude.
At Mountain Goat, we live and operate in the heart of the Pindos Mountains, the longest mountain range in Greece. Reaching heights of 2,600 meters, this region boasts steep gorges, vast forests, rushing rivers, and traditional alpine villages. Heavy winter snowfall begins in early December and covers the high peaks until late April, making Greece an exotic winter adventure destination.
