Located within the borders of Kars and Ardahan, Lake Çıldır is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Eastern Anatolia and offers a unique view by freezing completely in the winter months. Lake Çıldır is a natural dam lake formed by a lava flow and a debris spit. The only outlet of the lake, which is fed by many streams and springs, is the Telek Stream, a branch of Arpaçay on the Armenian border in the northwest. The largest is the island next to the Akçakale ruins. Especially between November and March, the surface of the lake is covered with ice and it becomes possible to ride on it with horse-drawn sleighs. The lake, which attracts attention with its natural beauty at all times of the year, offers boat tours and fishing in the summer months, and activities such as ice walking and Eskimo-style fishing in the winter months. Tasting the famous "yellow carp" fish in the restaurants around the lake is a special experience for visitors who come here.

Sarıkamış Ski Resort, located in Sarıkamış district of Kars, is one of the highest quality ski resorts in Turkey and is famous for its crystal snow, which is unique to the Alps. Cıbıltepe Ski Resort, with an altitude of 2,634 meters, offers slopes of different difficulty levels for both amateur and professional skiers. The most important feature that distinguishes Sarıkamış from other slopes is the type of snow falling in the region and its natural beauty. Powder crystal snow, which is quite suitable for skiing and is only found in the Alps in the world, is only found in Sarıkamış in our country. An ideal destination for ski and snowboard enthusiasts, Sarıkamış offers the opportunity to do sports in a calm and peaceful environment, intertwined with nature. While the ski season lasts between December and April, the slopes surrounded by pine forests and the quality of the snow make the region unique. In addition, alternative winter sports such as snowmobile tours, sledding activities and nature walks can be done. Since Sarıkamış's crystal snow does not stick together in cold weather, it makes skiing easier and provides a soft surface while skiing.
