Volcano in Turkey
Mount Hasan is a volcano in the Taurus mountains (Turkey). Its summit stands 3,268 m above sea level. Its prominence — how far it rises above the highest saddle linking it to a taller summit — is 1,922 m.
From the lowest point within 5 km (1,626 m), it rises 1,642 m. The steepest side is the south face: 34° on average over the first kilometre. In places the ground near the top reaches 46° — terrain for climbers, not walkers.
The nearest town is Gözlükuyu, 8 km away at 1,230 m: 2,038 m below the summit.
Scores
Two scores out of 10, built only from open data — every part is shown. They describe what the mountain offers, not how safe it is.
Hiking & mountaineering
5.4/10
Difficulty to the top
Mountain walk
Most path sections around the top are T3 on the SAC hiking scale.
Indicative only — never a safety assessment. Conditions change: ask local guides and check the forecast.
Ski score
—
No ski runs within 12 km in OpenStreetMap.
Ski (where OpenStreetMap has skiing within 12 km): up to 4 points for the length of downhill runs (300 km or more = 4), 1.5 for the number of lifts (40+), 1.5 for the vertical between lift stations (1,500 m) and 3 for the snow season — a month counts when the estimated mean temperature at the height of the ski area is −1 °C or lower and snow falls or lies there (NASA POWER, 2001–2020). Hiking & mountaineering: up to 2.5 for waymarked routes and paths, 1.5 for huts, 2 for the ascent from the valley (2,000 m), 1.5 for prominence (3,000 m), 1.5 for the season (months with summit afternoons above −5 °C) and 1 for via ferratas, climbing and glaciers. OpenStreetMap is built by volunteers: where few things are mapped, a score can be lower than reality.

Snow
At the summit, snow from November to May (some years from October to May). Month by month below, at different heights on the way up.

Estimate for a normal year: average temperature and precipitation from NASA POWER, carried to each height, in a simple model of snow building up and melting. In a given year snow can come earlier or stay longer. It does not replace the local snow and avalanche bulletin.
Summit weather
Not a forecast: long-term averages (1991–2020), carried up to the summit. The orange line is where an average afternoon reaches 0 °C; above the dashed blue line it freezes even at dawn.
On an average August afternoon the summit reaches about 18 °C; on January nights it falls to about -18 °C. In 5 months of the year it stays below freezing at the top even in the afternoon. In August the 0 °C line climbs to about 6,100 m, above the summit: the top thaws on an average afternoon. Across the region, August is the driest month (5 mm) and December the wettest (45 mm).

Estimate: the NASA POWER climate of a ~55 km cell (average height 1,420 m), adjusted to the summit by −6.5 °C per 1,000 m. Rain, wet days and sunshine are those of the region. Mountain weather changes fast — always check a local forecast. ★ = mildest months at the top.
Relief
Two cuts through the summit, 16 km long, from the 30 m Copernicus elevation model. True scale: no vertical exaggeration.
