Welcome to the Aladaglar Mountain Hostel!
We are located at 1450 m above sea level, and have 10 beds to host you, making it the smallest and highest hostel in Turkey. It is a perfect starting point for a wide variaty of activities and tours such as hiking, rock climbing, mountaineering, trail running and many more. With over 2,5 hectares of land and more than 200 fruit trees, it is an ideal location to leave the city lifestyle and daily stress behind you. Interested in enjoying the serenity of the outdoors, and the beauty of the surronding landscapes, then this is the place to come!
The name “Ala-Daglar” (Crimson-Mountains) comes from the rusty colour of its hills in the sunset. The densest collection of mountains above 3000 metres is right here in the Central Taurus. Nearby is the Aladaglar Mountain Range, a national park since 1995, and an ideal training terrain. Every year in August the Aladaglar Sky Trail event takes place here, bringing hundreds of runners up to these mountains.
Two dorms (two bunk beds each): € 15,-
and a double bed room which can also be booked as a single: € 32,-
Camping is available!
Shared toilet and amenities, but also a fully equiped kitchen are available for all the guests to use freely.
About Oral Akköse:
I was born and raised in Würzburg (Germany), but after exploring many corners of the world, I kept returning to my family roots: Turkey. I am a qualified international chef who has learned, thanks to my profession, the importance of simple and natural alimentation. To listen to the needs of our body and to find a personal balance for health is what I thrive for.
Both my Passion for the mountains and for sports brought me to trail running, which I have dedicated myself to for several years now. The opening of the Mountain Hostel is the fulfilling of a dream: a place in nature we can call home, but also the possibility of many sporting activities, and finally, a magical surrounding for the highly motivated to come and train.
