WINTER SKIING

Armenia

ARMENIA IS A HEAVEN FOR THE SKIERS!

Here, in Armenia you will find a lot of snowy mountains, interesting corridors and nice treks. At the attitude of 3000 meters above the level of the sea, you can find snow even at the June. Not only winter, also spring skiing is wonderful in Armenia. The treks are good both for beginners and professionals. The most famous skiing resorts in Armenia are Tsakhkadzor, Sevan, Jermuk, but we also suggest ski tours nearby Aragatz Mountain, Geghama mountain range, Ishkhanasar, Ara Mountain, Gutanasar Mountain. These mountains give you opportunity to try freeriding with the different level of difficulty and distance. For the extreme skiers we can suggest even heli-skiing.  We have chosen and prepared the best paths, the most interesting treks and the experienced, professional guides. You will go to the Southern summit of Aragatz Mountain (3888m) and ski down to Lake Qari (Stone Lake) which is on the attitude of 3200 meters. You will be taken to Fantan village and from there to Gutanasar volcano for steep and interesting downhill. You can choose Geghama mountain range for some long ski-tour with breathtaking views. You have a big choice and you will be really satisfied from each one. Just help us to create an ideal tour for you.
