Uludağ

Uludağ Kayak Merkezi

The ski mountain above Bursa, the closest big resort to Istanbul, with a hotel zone high on the slopes.

All ski resorts

What to expect

Uludağ is where Istanbul goes skiing: a line of large hotels at the top of the road, each with its own lifts and slopes. Weekends and the school mid-term break are the busiest times.

Bursa itself, with its covered markets and Ottoman baths, makes a good base; Çekirge, Bursa's old thermal quarter, is on the way up.

Getting there

A road climbs from Bursa to the hotel zone; a cable car also runs from Teferrüç in the city to the hotel zone (OpenStreetMap). Timetables and fares were not checked.

General directions, not checked against an operator's timetable.

Open in OpenStreetMap

Mountain roads: from 15 November winter tyres are compulsory on intercity roads for commercial vehicles; carry chains. Driving in snow

Hotels in Osmangazi on ilçemde ↗

How we rank: Nearby Ministry-licensed places first (matched to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism list), then other places by distance band (within 5 km, 15 km, 40 km; straight line) and public map ratings and review counts. A licensed place never jumps ahead of a closer band. Places more than 25 km away in another town are shown only when there are few options nearby. No business pays to be listed. A high score from a handful of reviews counts for less than a slightly lower score from hundreds. Ratings and counts come from ilçemde's data (source shown on each card, checked 1 Oct 2026); read the reviews themselves on the map services.

Accommodation lists open on ilçemde, our sister directory of Turkish businesses (new tab). We do not take bookings or commissions.
