In 1976, the Greek National Tourism Organization (EOT) undertook the construction of the ski resort at Fterolakka, and by 1977 a fully organized facility was in operation, featuring the main advanced-level slope named “Hera.” In 1981, the ski facilities at Kellaria began operating. This area proved ideal due to its slope gradients and excellent snow quality.
Today, Mount Parnassos is the preferred mountain destination for thousands of visitors and skiers. Depending on snowfall conditions each year, the Parnassos Ski Center (PSC) typically operates from early December through March.
The Parnassos Ski Center consists of two main areas, Kellaria and Fterolakka, located approximately 27 km and 24 km from Arachova respectively. Each area has its own access road and chalet, while they are interconnected by ski lifts. Together, Kellaria and Fterolakka offer a total of 18 ski slopes, 8 ski routes, 9 trails, and 3 beginner slopes, with operating elevations ranging from 1,600 to 2,300 meters. The downhill runs vary in length from 120 meters to 3.5 kilometers, with a total skiable distance of 35 kilometers.
Mount Parnassos combines breathtaking natural beauty with modern winter sports facilities, making it one of the premier mountain and ski destinations in Greece.
