When it comes to ski resort, Davraz Ski Center is not the first thing that comes to mind, and those who hear that we went to Isparta for skiing are surprised that there is even a ski resort in Isparta.. We can say that this is the biggest reason why we love it.. Since it is not popular, the tracks are much calmer. Do not expect an empty ski resort just because we said it is not popular, yes the slopes are calm, but it is not easy to reach the slopes due to the high number of people who come for a day trip.. If you want to reach the slopes without any problems and have a nice day, you should consider the following recommendations.

Davraz Ski Center stands out with its affordable price in general. Although the runways seem small, there are quite enough and long runways.. In addition, the snow quality is high and the number of sunny days is quite high.. Most importantly, we have not come across a foggy moment until now, there are definitely days with you, but it is definitely very rare, this is a really great advantage.. If you get stuck with only one wind, you will have trouble. Apart from that, Davraz Ski Center is a place that has a lot of advantages when compared to other facilities in Turkey.. If you have read our other articles about ski centers, you know that we do not have such expectations.. That’s why we don’t mind, but if you want to have some fun, our recommendation would be Kartalkaya. Even if you say skiing is an excuse, the priority for me is fun, we say go to Uludag, now you can eat an Iskender instead of us..
Davraz Tracks
The slopes of Davraz Ski Center consist of 4 stages, that is, there are 4 mechanical facilities.. The chair lift starting from the Hotels area, 1. it goes up to the hill where the stage and cafe are located. Just on the other side of the hill 2. chairlift called stage begins. T-bar on the right after getting off the chairlift, 3 levels; The covered chairlift on the left is also known as the 4 Bubble.. There are stages.
We have explained the stages in detail so that you can understand the slopes clearly, but generally, skiers and snowboarders think of Davraz ski center as two stages and talk between them in this way.. 1 with hotels zone. The tracks between the cafe where the stage chair lift exits are called the first stage.. All the tracks on the other side of the cafe are called the second stage.
Red track number 6, with a length of 2500 meters, is the longest track in Davraz. Of course, if you go off the track, there is an estimated 6-7 km of natural track.. However, runway 6 is the longest of all crushed runways.. It is a very enjoyable track with both its length and slope, and even though Davraz is our favorite track, we can only ski once a day from here.. Because in the first stage, this chairlift is used by those who come on foot.. So there is an incredible queue and it is very difficult to go up after sliding.. We only use runway 6 on our way back in the evening.. Other than that, we don’t stop by the tracks in the first stage.
If you want to avoid the crowd of pedestrians, you have to spend the whole day in the second stage like we did.. When you pass this stage; the weather will get a little colder, because a little higher. As the slopes of Davraz ski center are beautiful and not wooded, you can ski in plenty of snow off the track, by the way, it is not dangerous to go off the track because it is not rocky.. In other words, you can think that everywhere in Davraz is a runway.. 2nd. The red runway number 9 and the black runway number 7 under the stage chairlift are very enjoyable.. Also 3. The black track number 11 next to the step T-bar is a track that we often prefer.
If you say these tracks didn’t cut me off, let’s take you to the Bubble tracks, 4. You can go to the top with the covered chair lift called a step, but it’s up to you if you can go down.. Most of the first timers go down by chairlift, not by skiing.. If you are confident and like to ski in plenty of snow, the Bubble track is incredibly enjoyable.. There are two runways numbered 13 and 14 here, but you can go down from the summit from anywhere you want, everywhere is the runway here.
There are also 5 runways, which are said to be built for many years, and will be opened this year for sure.. there is a step chair lift. This chair lift is 2 direct from the hotels zone.. will come to the cafe in the stage. In other words, there will be 2 different chair lifts from the hotel, one for skiers and one for pedestrians.. However, it has not been opened yet and it is not known when it will be opened.
Davraz Ski-Pass Prices
Because it is operated by the private administration, the previous Davraz ski-pass prices were quite affordable, even for 2 days, 3 days or you could get a seasonal ski-pass and the price was getting lower.. However, ski-pass prices have increased significantly in recent years and are even more expensive than, for example, Erciyes.

Davraz Ski Center Food and Drink
As in every ski resort, there are cafes in certain parts of the slopes and their number is sufficient.. Unlike other ski resorts, the prices are also very affordable, we eat sausage or meatballs, it’s enough.. Don’t expect entertainment in the cafes here either, eat your food and drink your tea.
The only cafe in the second stage 3. You can find everything you can find at the T-bar station on the first level and in the cafes on the first level here.
Davraz Hotels
Davraz ski resort hotel prices can be said to be high.. Yes, ski hotels are expensive in general, but Davraz hotels are both expensive and you don’t feel like a ski hotel.. Simply because it is not very high, there is not much snow in the hotels, you cannot sit by the fireplace against such a beautiful snow view.. Also, it is not difficult to get to and from the city center, there is not enough snow on the road to require chains and you can reach the ski center in 30 minutes.. We can also say that there is no chance of early booking.. Because Davraz is not clear and there are times when skiing is not possible even in February.. If you don’t want to spend that much money and return without skiing, Davraz ski resort hotels are not for you.
When you look at the center of Isparta, you see that there are many hotel alternatives, whether you stay in a 5-star or 3-star hotel, the choice is yours.. Prices are much more affordable than the ski resort. Also, when you stay in the center, you do not depend on the hotel for food, there are all kinds of restaurants in the center.. You’ll also see Isparta while you’re here.
There is usually no shortage of space in Isparta city hotels, but as you know, there are military and military schools in Isparta.. That’s why in some periods the hotels can be completely full.. For example; If you come across a time when there is an oath ceremony, your job is difficult, so we say it won’t hurt to finalize your hotel reservation before you go. At worst, if you call one day in advance and make sure, at least you will be guaranteed yourself.
Hotels in Davraz Ski Center
Sirene Davras Hotel
It is located in the ski center and you have direct access to the slopes. The view is quite nice, but the prices are a little high. If we say that the Sirene brand is reflected in the prices but not in the quality, we will be explaining everything.
Isperia Davraz Hotel
The hotel closest to the slopes in Davraz ski resort, Isperia Davraz. We have never stayed here, but what we hear from the rest is not very pleasant.
Davka Dag Evleri Boutique Hotel
This hotel is not in the ski resort, but it is very close to a boutique hotel on the way to the ski resort. We stopped here to eat on the day of our return and liked it very much and stayed here for one night.. However, it was not as beautiful as it looks and I don’t think we would recommend it. We were not comfortable and as a result, we drove to the ski resort again. There is no difference between driving for 15 minutes and driving for 30 minutes after getting in the car.. In the city center at least restaurant etc.. There are many alternatives.
Hotels in Isparta City Center
Hotel Bolat
Actually the hotel was nice, the rooms and bathroom etc were adequate; We were also satisfied with the breakfast.. However, we found it useful to warn you because we had a SMALL problem that my 2 side rooms were being renovated until midnight, and that we had a SMALL problem, such as the sound of drills that lasted for hours and they did not sleep nervously, even though I called the reception many times, went downstairs and told the reception twice, and was told it was ok each time.
Koç Hotel
It is a three-star hotel and we are very satisfied. The breakfast buffet was hearty, the rooms were clean and the room sizes were sufficient.. On the last day, we left our room in the morning, left our belongings at the hotel, and went to the ski resort. We came in the evening and changed our clothes at the hotel, they didn’t mind.. This place is right next to Hotel Bolat, which I mentioned above, I would definitely recommend this place.. It is both newer and very good in terms of personnel. While Hotel Bolat is more like a family business, Koç Hotel is a professional business.. We can easily recommend this place because the price is the same for both.
When to Go to Davraz?
It would not be right to give a definite answer here, because sometimes the snow thickness should be the best. may not be enough. While it is very beautiful in April, there are times when skiing is not possible in February.. It’s best to follow up before you go, if you can’t decide, you can also ask us in the comment section, we’ll help you as we can, since we already follow all ski centers throughout the season.. However, thanks to the chairlift, which is planned to be operational in the 2018-2019 season and will only carry pedestrians, the chairlift we use will no longer be crowded.. Of course, don’t go crazy and go on the weekend during the semester break, even if you’re going to have a ski holiday during the semester break, it’s a good idea to go abroad.
