Vasilitsa, Mountain summit in the Pindus range, Greece

Vasilitsa is a summit of the Pindus range on the border of Ioannina and Grevena regional units, reaching 2,249 metres between the villages of Distrato, Smixi and Avdella. It lies within the North Pindos National Park, and most of its slopes fall in Grevena. Black pine and fir cover its flanks, with centuries-old Bosnian pines and subalpine meadows higher up.

The first lift, Elimeia, was installed in 1975 by members of a mountaineering and ski club who founded the resort; it ran from 1,788 to 2,060 m and still carries 800 skiers an hour. In 1991 the facilities passed to the General Secretariat of Sports and the site became the National Ski Centre of Vasilitsa. Two chairlifts followed in 1993 and two more surface lifts in 2000.

The ski centre's emblem is a mammoth with huge tusks, an animal that lived in the area millions of years ago. In winter the centre hosts mountain-ski races organised by the Hellenic Mountaineering and Climbing Federation and snowboard competitions open to all ages, with equipment available on site.

The site has five lifts serving 16 runs of varying difficulty levels, with a vertical drop of 450 meters for skiing. Visitors should plan for winter conditions and changing mountain weather.

Two ski runs here meet international competition standards set by the International Ski Federation. This makes them training grounds for athletic competitions and international events.
