There are 16 ski resorts in Iran, but the most famous and largest of them
is Dizin. The resort has a reputation for excellent snow often like powder, high
altitude (one of the world's 40 highest ski centers) and the north facing slopes
of Mt Sichal. The resort length is 4 km with 950 meters vertical descents at
altitudes of 3600 to 2650 meters from the see level.
The ski facilities include 3 gondola lines, 2 chair lifts and 6 T-bar lifts. The
main line takes from first station in height of 2650 m to a restaurant in the
middle of the mountain at about 3175 m where there are many other lifts
including the one that takes to the top just below the summit of Mt sichal.
In the upper slopes of Dizin there are magnificent panorama of 4387 m Mt
Kholeno, 4210 m Mt Sarakchal, 4156 m Mt Koloun Bastak, 5671 m Mt Damavand in the
east and 4850 m Mt Alamkouh in the west.
snow disappears in Dizin on summer, but skiing continues, in the recent years
grass skiing has become popular and several international competitions have been
held in Dizin.
Distance between Tehran and Dizin from the Karaj-Chalous road is about 123 km
and via Shemshak road is 71 km. Dizin has 2 hotels, 19 cottage and 5
restaurants.
I will send you more pictures of this Ski Resort in a few days.
