Day 1
Tochal
Tochal, at 3944 m, is the highest ski resort in the Alborz Mountain Range, and 5th highest in the world. This altitude ensures a long season from December to April and sometimes June. There are seven ski lifts in this complex, two of the cable cars stop just short of the summit at 3,900 m. from where there are magnificent views of Tehran and Mt. Damavand. This resort has three trails of 7.5 km. that are wide and properly groomed every day. At the top of the ski slope is the Tochal hotel, the highest ski hotel in the world! After your check-in, you can immediately enter the track. Outside the Iranian weekend (Thursday and Friday) it is wonderfully quiet. There is a lunch canteen with Iranian snacks and drinks at long tables. A great place to have a chat with the local Tehran hipsters. In addition to skiing and snowboarding you can enjoy using zipline, snowmobile, VR simulator, sled, archery and bungee jumping in Tochal. You will find a ski rental and a ski school for all skiers’ levels. You can combine Tochal with Dizin during your stay in Tehran so that you can ski at both places. Tochal is the nearest resort to Tehran and access to the location, a 7.5 km. journey, is possible by one of the longest cable cars that leaves from the northern suburbs of Tehran.
