Why Damavand Ski touring ?

Mount Damavand, the highest peak in Iran and the Middle East, is a premier destination for ski touring enthusiasts seeking a unique and challenging adventure.

Rising to 5,671 meters (18,606 feet), this dormant stratovolcano offers skiers breathtaking views and a variety of routes suited to different skill levels.

Ski touring on Damavand typically begins in late winter or early spring when the snow conditions are optimal, providing long, uninterrupted descents on its expansive, snow-covered slopes.

The ascent combines elements of mountaineering and skiing, requiring physical endurance and technical skills, while the descent rewards adventurers with thrilling runs amid stunning alpine scenery. Mount Damavand’s remote location and pristine environment make it an unforgettable experience for those seeking both solitude and excitement in a high-altitude setting.
