Safety warning

In winter check road conditions and carry chains; fog is common.

Its story

Kartepe is a high summit on the Samanlı Mountains overlooking Sapanca Gölü (Lake Sapanca) and the Gulf of İzmit. In winter, slopes for skiing and snowboarding, chairlifts and sledding areas operate. Being close to Istanbul, it is a frequent choice for weekend getaways. In summer, with its cool air, forest walks and views, it suits yayla tourism. On clear days both Sapanca Gölü and the gulf can be seen from the summit.
