The Ski Resort

Shemshak, the second biggest ski resort in Iran, is located around 60 kilometres north of the capital Teheran. It is situated amidst the Alborz mountains, at 2,549 to 3,059 metres (8,363 to 10,036 ft) above sea level. The steep slopes are particularly suitable for experts and pros. From December through April, skiers and snowboarders can swoop wild mogul runs or through fine powder down to the valley at Shemshak - the slopes are even floodlit in the evening.

A total of eight slopes and five lifts await all winter sport fans. Two runs are marked black, three are red. Beginners and less experienced skiers find three easy runs near the valley as well as a practice lift. If you want more space to practive your first turns on skis, visit the nearby ski resort Dizin.
