Rescue workers continue the intense search in Uludag and Alacam regions which are fully covered with snow, the governor's office in northwestern Bursa province said in a statement.
Mert Alpaslan and Efe Sarp went missing on Sunday evening due to heavy fog.
Families of the missing hikers called the gendarmerie when they could not reach their sons.
