Mountain and winter sports grew in Europe in the 19th century but were slow to take off in Turkey. Transport and amenities were poor, and there wasn't a large prosperous middle class seeking travel and leisure. Uludağ was the country's first winter sports resort, with guesthouses opening from the 1930s. It was declared a national park in 1961, but tourism development continued, and the game-changer in 1963 was the opening of the cable car from Bursa to Sarıalan, plus associated ski-lifts. In 2014 this was upgraded and extended to Kurbağa Kaya. There are 2 gondola lifts, 9 chairlifts and 13 T-bar tows. The most extensive ski area is south of the new hotel area and Volfram, on the north-facing slope of the main ridge. You can connect from there to the Fatin Tepe area above the old hotel district. Across the valley from there lies a smaller area.
The highest area in western Anatolia, Uludağ is easily ascended by car or cable-car. The park is about 22km (14mi) south of Bursa and is signposted from there. Bursa can be reached by road from Istanbul. The cable-car ascends from Bursa and has an intermediate stop in the alpine meadows of Kadiyayla at about 1,200m (3,937ft) elevation. It ends at Sarialan at about 1,630m (5,348ft). Bof Hotel, Oteller, ☏ +90 224 800 0000. Adequate but over-priced hotel by cable-car station, some rooms in poor repair.

A 225 km "slip-strike" fault line runs east-west from Eskişehir through Bursa, with 100 km lateral displacement. Some 35-40 million years ago, the stresses along this fault forced up a massif of gneiss and granite, which was hard-wearing against erosion and stands today as Uludağ. Also forced up were ores of tin and copper, valuable to early metal-workers, and modern miners extracted tungsten. The fault heats the scalding, sulphurous waters of Çekirge and still causes earthquakes. The mountain was too steep for agrarian farming but had summer grazing, its forests supplied timber and charcoal, and ice was harvested from its upper slopes to send to the imperial kitchens of Istanbul. It was also dotted with Christian hermitages and monasteries, later joined in by Muslim dervish retreats. Hotels are full-board, which doesn't leave custom for free-standing restaurants, but several will serve walk-in non-residents.By road follow D575 south from Çekirge in Bursa, which winds up for 22 km to the national park gate at Karabelen. It continues as a good tarmac road for 8 km to the turn-off to Sarıalan, then another 4 km brings you to the fork for the old or new hotel zones. In winter, snow chains may be required to proceed beyond the park gate. Roadside stalls will be delighted to sell you these for ten times the garage price, and they'll probably be made of liquorice. Even if the road is clear of snow, it may be icy in the shadow of the trees, so winter driving rules apply. a b Meltem Ersoy: „Son nefesimi fabrikada vereyim diye dua ediyorum“. Habertürk, 12 January 2014, retrieved 12 August 2017 (Turkish; interviewed Mehmet Erbak) Fog or mist can descend suddenly out of a clear blue sky, and make it hard to stay on the trail. Take a compass bearing on your route before you lose sight of landmarks. You did bring one, right, and know how to use it?
