Here is Zagros – Chelgerd region ski touring program. The program includes skiing some parts of Zard-Kuh Mountains that are in return part of the Zagros mountain range. Zard-Kuh area is famous for having some “almost leveled” mountains that have possibility for ski mountaineering. In this program, depending on the snow and weather condition we would choose different peaks in the area and ski there. Some of these mountains are Dozardeh, Shahriari, Kolon Chi, Shah Shahidan, Aab Sefid, Haft Tanan, Shah Mansuri, Robat Khan, Bazoft, and Mazon.
After the program is finished, skiers would drive back to Isfahan depending on the departure time.

Each day, they would ascend one of the mountains and return to the local house.
