Palandöken Mountain

Palandöken Mountain, one of the busiest points of winter tourism in our country, is also an indispensable address for ski enthusiasts. Palandöken, which is the highest point in the environment with its peak, does not look imposing like any other mountain due to being a chain of mountain. However, many mythos and mythology about Anatolia are mentioned in the name. For example, there are many rumors about the name... The most famous of these comes from the fact that the name 'Paladöken', which is used in the sense of 'Machete knocking, unbearing,', has gradually turned into Palandöken. Some steep trails of Palandöken Mountain, Turkey's longest ski slope and the most popular ski area, can be dangerous because the winters are extremely harsh locally.
