The Troodos Mountains
The sport of skiing first appeared in Cyprus sometime around 1934, when a
group of people created the first 'Mountaineering Club' of the island.
After World War II, the Cyprus Ski Club was created in 1947 and since
then it has a leading role in the development of skiing on the island.
The first lift was built and operated on the eastern face of Mt Olympus,
while a second lift was built in 1951 to the west of Troodos Square, The Troodos Mountains.
Today thousands of Cypriots and foreigners enjoy the
