Falakro ski resort is located in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (Greece). There are 20 km of slopes for skiing and snowboarding. There are also 9 lifts for transporting guests. The winter sports zone is located between the altitudes of 1650 and 2232 m.
Falakro Ski Resort was founded in 1980 at the initiative of the Association of Dramatic Mountaineering to meet the basic recreational and sports needs of the surrounding area. However, over the years, the ski center has gained momentum and a fanatical audience, which has made it one of the most important ski resorts in Greece and the main tourist attraction of the Thrace region.
The resort has 21 trails of varying difficulty with a total length of 20 km and a length of 230 to 1500 meters. There are also large tracks, more than 2,500 m long, with a height difference from 1,615 to 2,232 m on the northern slopes, which are also suitable for sports events. Natural snow lies on the north, north-west and north-east slopes, which are above 2000 m above sea level and offer a great variety of skiing. An important comparative advantage of Falakro is a long period of snow cover due to its geographical location and high altitude, as the base of the ski resort is at an altitude of 1,720 m, and the slopes are at an altitude of 2,232 m.
The resort has ski rental and sales points for ski equipment. There are ski schools at the resort. No snow park / amusement park.

So, for example, the main attractions of the region are the Falakros ski center , located 46 km from the capital, the Engiti cave, which is about 30 thousand years old, the picturesque Petrus gorge near the village of Pirgon, and the healing springs of Ayia Varvara. In addition, the region is full of reserves, coniferous forests and parks (for example, Reptile Park in the village of Agora). Also in Drama you will find the beautiful Archaeological Museum, the ancient sanctuary of Dionysus and Fort Lisse in the village. Okhiros, which today works as a museum.
It is worth noting that although Drama is not a common tourist destination in Greece, the region nevertheless has all possible amenities and infrastructures: wherever you go, Greek friendliness and hospitality will always be with you!
