Tour of Mainalo
Nature, winter sports and villages full of tradition, in the heart of Arcadia.
The ultimate destination for nature, winter sports and tradition
Mainalo, the mountain jewel of Arcadia, is one of the best-loved destinations in Greece in every season, especially for winter getaways. At an altitude of almost 1,600 metres, Mainalo Ski Center is the hub for skiing, snowboarding and every winter sports lover, and is easy to reach from the surrounding villages.
Surrounded by dense fir forests, Mainalo is also ideal for hiking, mountain biking and exploring its rich biodiversity. Routes such as the European long-distance path E4, which crosses Mainalo, and the Menalon Trail lead you through stunning landscapes, gorges and rivers such as the Lousios and the Alfeios.
