Overview

​On the one hand, Armenia is a mountainous country and not all attractions are accessible in winter, on the other hand, winter holidays in Armenia are primarily associated only with the ski resort of Tsakhkadzor. Many people do exactly this, they simply directly book a hotel in Tsakhkadzor and come for an active ski holiday. But as our practice shows, even on the way to the resort from Yerevan, the idea appears to take at least a few tours, or at least go to winter Sevan, and walk around Yerevan for a day. Our tour packagewinter tour to Armeniais designed precisely so that you can optimally combine an excursion tour in Armenia with a vacation at the Tsakhkadzor ski resort. ​The highlights of the program are alpine skiing in Tsakhkadzor and khash, real winter , a native Armenian dish that is eaten instead of or before breakfast with a special ritualized ceremony. But for those who have other winter holiday preferences, we have developed a whole range of winter tours in Armenia.

Friends, the tour is really great if you are a fan of winter hiking like me. I just wanted to advise that as part of this tour, stay at the Ani Plaza Hotel in Yerevan and at the Rossiya Hotel in Tsaghkadzor. In terms of price/quality, this couple is just right! Have a delicious holiday in Armenia :)
