At Agriolefkes, situated at an altitude of 1,500 meters, operates one of Greece¢s most beautiful internationally recognized ski resorts.
Agriolefkes is one of the first two ski centers established in Greece. It is located 27 km from Volos, 2 km from Hania, and 12 km from Portaria.
The Pelion Ski Center is very popular, attracting visitors from all over Greece due to its privileged location: Volos is 330 km from Athens and 230 km from Thessaloniki, making it ideal for short getaways. The ski center has been in operation since 1967, initially created by the Greek Mountaineering Club of Volos, and since 1997, its management has been overseen by the Development Company of Magnesia.
Although considered a smaller ski center, it has gained a devoted following by combining excellent facilities and a variety of activities with stunning natural surroundings. The lush Mountain of the Centaurs, steeped in local legends, and the breathtaking view of the Pagasetic Gulf with its beautiful beaches create unforgettable scenery for visitors.
The ski center offers 6 slopes of varying difficulty, catering to both beginners and experienced skiers. Guests are served by 6 lifts (3 chairlifts and 3 drag lifts). Winter sports enthusiasts can challenge themselves on the endurance track (Langlauf), cross-country trails, enjoy snowboarding, alpine skiing, and even try night skiing.
For those wishing to extend their stay, the center¢s mountain refuge accommodates up to 80 guests. The ski center also features a restaurant, café, equipment rental and sales shop, and a ski school for learners.
