The name Pertouli is most famous for the nearby Ski resort that is very popular with snow sports fans in central Greece. According to the official resort website the ski runs start at 1,170m and the highest point is at 1,340m altitude. The longest run has a distance of 1,500 metres.

The area around the ski resort has one of the most beautiful mountainous scenery of central Greece and the ski runs twist and turn through a fir-covered mountainside.
