Aladaglar Mountains

Aladaglar Mountains

The stunning Aladaglar mountain range is home to the highest peaks of the Taurus, famous for its gorgeous lakes, sheer rock walls, deeply cut valleys and canyons. The Aladaglar are one of Turkey’s most important areas for mountaineering, hiking, climbing, mountain-biking, skiing and snowshoe-walking trips. The area includes a huge range of flora and fauna and is home to many different and important bird species. Once in the mountains you will also have the chance to meet semi-nomadic families who might invite you for some drinks and you can visit their tents to see their original life style during the time they spent in the mountains. Here sometimes it is also possible to see ibexes grazing, a species of wild mountain goat with long, curved horns, known as the undisputed master of terrifying heights.
