Armenian Ski Mountaineer
Overview
Seven mountains including the highest in the country - Mt Aragats
Introduction
Armenia is a beautiful country in a tough neigbourhood. There are many problems, but the friendly people give visitors a great welcome. With much of interest and hardly a tourist in sight, Armenia is a perfect destination for adventurous skiers.Guide, Jim Blyth first visited in 2011 when visas were required and the old Zvarnots airport, which resembled a UFO, was still in use. The whole experience felt very Soviet. The trip was for many years the wettest he had ever done but he did learn when not to go! Jim returned in the month of May and that time the weather was lovely and the spring skiing spot on. In 2025 we are going for cold snow earlier in the season.
Start point: Yerevan
Grade: 10D

Tailor-made option
We can organise this expedition on a ‘tailor-made’ private basis for groups of friends, families, clubs, charities or any other group. Depending on your skiing experience, you may want a Jagged Globe leader or go ‘self-led’ with the assistance of local guides. The cost of going private can be surprisingly reasonable, particularly if you take the self-led option. Please contact us to discuss the itinerary and your preferred dates. We will then send you a quote, with no obligation.Know Before You Go
Jagged Globe supports the British Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) ‘Know Before You Go’ campaign. We recommend that you read the FCDO Travel Advice for Armenia on the FCDO Website.
