Part of Arachova
The Parnassos Ski Centre is the largest resort in Greece and the one Athenians ski at: it is about 25 km from Arachova and two and a half hours from Athens. It has two areas linked by pistes, Kelaria, the higher and larger one, with the Aphrodite gondola from Kelaria 1750, and Fterolaka, smaller and with a fir forest, reached by the Hera gondola. It is run by the state property company ETAD.
34 km over 23 pistes, four of them for beginners with a baby lift, seven routes and seven links. You ski from 2,260 to 1,640 metres, with runs from 300 metres to 4 km. For those seeking fresh snow there are several off-piste descents, and at Kelaria 2200 there is a snowpark with modules for all levels. Four pistes, Iniochos, Iraklis, Odysseas and Vakchos, are FIS-homologated for international competitions.
There are 17 lifts: 13 main ones, including six detachable, with two eight-seater gondolas and three combined gondola-chairlifts, and four baby lifts. In low season, Tuesday to Thursday, only part of it runs.
The 2026-27 price list had not been published on 12 November 2026. In 2025-26 the day lift pass cost €35 on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays and from 22 December to 7 January; €30 on Mondays and Fridays, and €20 from Tuesday to Thursday. From 13:00 in high season, €20. The family pass, for two adults and a child under 18, cost €40 to €70 depending on the day, and the student and school pass, less. It is bought at the box offices and on the resort's online sales.
On-piste hire is run by Dimitriadis Action Stores, with three shops: one at Fterolaka and two at Kelaria, in the Kelaria 1750 building and the Kelaria 1950 chalet. Lessons are given by schools and instructors accredited by the resort, recognisable by the badge on their jacket; the resort's website lists them.
From Athens, by motorway to Livadia and then towards Arachova; before the village the resort road leaves at the Skamnos junction to Kelaria. The other climb, via Amfikleia and Polydrosos, reaches Fterolaka. The roads are cleared by the resort's own machines, but bring chains. Every afternoon, shortly after 16:30, the website announces which lifts and pistes will run the next day.
