Kaçkar Mountains, Turkey CNN —“Every day you can make a different cheese. Here is unspoiled, uninterrupted, nature in an area protected by UNESCO for its biodiversity and its traditional ways of life. Paul Devitt/CNNVillage lifeIn this remote corner of Turkey life continues as it has for generations, with hard-working women the backbone of the home, tending the land and looking after livestock. Glorious views greet the eye from every window and balcony in this most relaxing of mountain hideaways.

Ski seasonNumerous ski resorts around the world are facing the reality that in these times of climate crisis, there just isn’t enough snow to carry on.

In winter, moist air from the Black Sea mixes with cold mountain air to produce plentiful powder snow at altitude from January to April. “It was probably my best day’s skiing ever.”Apres ski here is low key, with hot baths, games of table tennis or massages. On bad weather days, alternative activities include skiing from the snowcat, snow shoeing or ski touring. The Kaçkar mountains could soon be on the world ski map, and not just for heli-skiing. “We will be very happy if, one day, there is a ski resort in Ayder,” says Gasser.

☆ Rize: Turkey’s hidden mountain hideaways

CNN —Rize province, on the Black Sea coast near Turkey’s northeast border with Georgia, is still largely unknown to many international travelers. Away from Rize itself – the seaside city which lends its name to the province – the area’s valleys and plateaus, surrounded by high-altitude mountain ridges, have remained largely rural. With high rates of rainfall, Rize’s mountain villages (yayla) become a point of escape from summer temperatures. “The state of tourism in Rize is not very pleasant because visitors often arrive without much knowledge about the local culture or the nature. “I think the purpose of coming to Rize shouldn’t be to rush through everything and take a few selfies.
