Audio Guide of Mount Uludağ

The Bursa cable car, the main way to reach the mountain, operates daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM in summer and adjusts its schedule in winter (generally 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM). To get there, take the cable car from central Bursa at Teferrüç station; the journey lasts about 20 minutes and offers stunning views. More details on the official website: Bursa Teleferik.

The cable car fare is approximately 100–150 TRY per person for a round trip (prices vary by season); there is no free access to the summit by cable car, but once at the top, exploring the area is free. Children under 6 ride free, and group discounts are recommended. Check updated prices at Bursa Teleferik.

It is recommended to allow at least 4 to 6 hours for the cable car ride, enjoying the views, and taking a short walk along the trails. If you plan to ski or go on a longer winter hike, consider spending a full day. Include time for the return trip to avoid sunset crowds.

Known in antiquity as Bithynian Olympus, it was a sacred site for the Greeks and Romans, associated with mythological gods. Today, it is a natural and cultural treasure in Turkey, declared a National Park in 1933, and a key destination for ecotourism and winter sports in the Bursa region, the birthplace of the Ottoman Empire.

Winter (December to March) is ideal for snow and skiing, with magical white landscapes, while summer (June to September) offers hiking and fresh air with mild temperatures. Avoid late spring if you are concerned about storms; sunrise or sunset provides the best views year-round.

The cable car is accessible, with ramps and space for wheelchairs, and the upper station has paved areas to make movement easier. However, the natural trails can be uneven; contact the operator for special assistance. More info at Bursa Teleferik or call +90 224 220 04 22.

In Bursa, just 30–40 minutes away by car, visit the historic Grand Mosque and Koza Han for an Ottoman touch. Other nearby sites include the Bursa Archaeological Museum and the thermal baths of Çelik Palas, ideal to combine with your mountain adventure.

Bring warm clothing even in summer because of temperature changes, and wear comfortable shoes for the trails; book the cable car in advance during high season through the app or website. If you travel in winter, rent ski equipment at the summit, and always carry water and snacks, as food options are limited, although there are restaurants at the top.
