Turkey hosts prestigious Snowcross World Championship

Turkey’s Erciyes Ski Resort hosted the prestigious FIM Snowcross World Championship 2025 this past weekend which saw the world’s best snowmobile  athletes battle it out for the title. 

With competitors from Scandinavia, North America, and Europe, the championship showcased elite snowmobile racing, where riders took advantage of extreme winter conditions in pursuit of the world title. 

The high-altitude terrain and unpredictable snow tracks of Erciyes added to the excitement of the adrenaline-fueled competition.

Over the past decade, Erciyes Ski Resort has emerged as a premier winter sports destination. Located in central Turkey, it features over 100 kilometers of ski slopes, modern facilities, and world-class event-hosting capabilities.

Turkey’s investment in winter tourism and international sporting events has positioned Erciyes as a top location for extreme sports. 

Snowcross is one of the most extreme winter motorsports, requiring speed, strength, and technical skill. Riders navigate sharp turns, icy terrain, and intense jumps, pushing their limits as they compete head-to-head on a fast-paced track.
