Discover Ski Touring in Zagros with IRMTravel
Nestled in the heart of Iran’s rugged landscapes, the Zagros Mountains offer an unparalleled ski touring experience that blends thrilling descents with cultural immersion. With over 1,600 km of pristine peaks stretching from northwest Iran to the Persian Gulf, the Zagros range is a hidden gem for ski enthusiasts seeking untouched powder and breathtaking scenery. At Iran Mountain Travel (IRMTravel), we bring this adventure to life under the expert guidance of our IFMGA-certified guide, Amin Moein, ensuring a safe and unforgettable journey through Iran’s wildest mountains.
The Zagros Mountains are a paradise for ski touring, boasting dozens of peaks above 4,000 meters and hundreds above 3,000 meters. From the iconic Zardkuh massif, with its highest peak Klonchi (4,221m), to the majestic Dena range, home to Qash-Mastan (4,409m), the Zagros offers diverse slopes for skiers of all levels. Unlike crowded ski resorts, the Zagros provides pristine, untracked valleys and heavy snowfall from January to March, making it ideal for ski tour Iran adventures. The region’s unique combination of accessible slopes, rich snow conditions, and cultural encounters with the nomadic Bakhtiari people creates an experience unlike any other. The region’s proximity to Isfahan, just a 3-hour drive to the base camp in Chelgerd, makes it easily accessible for international travelers. After a week of skiing, you can explore Isfahan’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, blending adventure with Iran’s rich cultural tapestry.
