The two other skilifts that lead to the North Face I (Jupiter) and North Face II (Hera), where four more routes start, are located on the north side – the “North Face” – Olympus. The specific ones, one of which is ‘T-type’ and the other a chairlift (for 3 people), also carry more than 400 people per hour. The lifts’ working hours are 09.00-16.00.
Since 1960, the Skiing Club of Cyprus has been organizing annual ski races and in 1962 the first international ski races in Cyprus took place.
For beginners of the sport there are ski schools near the courses that deliver lessons. The ski centre also has two cafe-restaurants.
