Alamkuh to Hesarchal Region Ski Touring
$1
per person
Here comes the Alamkuh – Hesarchal Region Ski Touring package. For this program, we will summit the second highest mountain of Iran after Damavand and ski down it. Alamkuh Mountain is 4848m and famous for the big wall of its north face. Because of the big wall and the paths to the summit, Alamkuh became one of the most technical mountains of Iran.
The program starts and ends in Tehran. We have a transfer from Tehran to Vandarbon. Then we will stay in camp four three days. Each day, we ski to a summit or higher land and then return to the camp. At last, we have a one-day city tour of Tehran and the program comes to an end. Here is more detail for the Alamkuh – Hesarchal region ski touring package.
