Kellaria and Fterolakka: getting to know the resort
Parnassos Ski Centre spans the Kellaria and Fterolakka areas, with pistes of different difficulty levels and lifts connecting its facilities. Before a first visit, look at the official map: where to park, how to reach the slopes and which starting point suits your plans. Choose pistes that match your experience and the areas operating on the day.
Trying skiing or snowboarding for the first time?
Give your first day a simple aim: get comfortable with the equipment and enjoy learning. Contact a school listed on the official website in advance to arrange a lesson, confirm availability and agree a meeting point. If children are joining you, ask which programme suits their age and experience. When renting equipment, check what the package includes and allow time for fitting before your lesson.
Tickets, opening hours and operating status
Before finalising your plans, consult the official price list and choose the ticket category for your activity. Check lesson and equipment rental costs separately. Piste and lift operation depends on the weather and snow cover, so consult the official updates the evening before and again before leaving. The links at the end of this guide take you directly to the resort’s relevant pages.
From Zemenos to the mountain
Starting from Twin Peaks Retreat in Zemenos, plan your route via Arachova using the official access information for Kellaria or Fterolakka. Allow time for mountain driving, parking and collecting equipment. Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Before setting off, check road conditions and current instructions about the anti-skid equipment required for your vehicle.
A day in the snow, even if you do not ski
Your group does not all need to follow the same plan. If you are visiting for the views and a break at a chalet, first confirm which facilities and lifts are open to non-skiers and which ticket you need. Agree on a meeting point and keep the day flexible. If the weather is unsuitable for the mountain, a walk and a meal in Arachova make a pleasant alternative.
What to bring
Prepare your clothes and personal belongings the night before so you can leave without rushing. Layers, gloves and suitable footwear make the journey more comfortable. Ask your school or rental provider about the equipment and helmet you will need. Spare socks and dry clothes for the return journey are small details you will appreciate at the end of the day.
The return is part of the escape
After a day on the mountain, make room for a quiet evening. A stop in Arachova followed by time in your own residence at Twin Peaks Retreat gives the trip a gentler pace. Whether you are planning your first ski experience or a break with friends, contact us about your preferred dates and residence.
