“A steady climb on a road through timbered slopes up the north slope of Mount Ara.”
— State Tourism Committee Republic of Armenia
Description
The ski trail begins on the north side of the mountain and climbs from the edge of the summer resort. The road leading to the summer resort may be covered with heavy snow in January and February. In this case, you should start skiing from Yernjatap village to reach the resort, which will add 2km to the route. The road runs through pine and oak forests, which make for a beautiful combination in the winter. From the top of Mount Ara, you can view the four highest mountains of Armenia: Aragats, Azhdahak, Teghenis 1, and Hatis. You can return using the Mount Ara: North Ski Trail which roughly follows the same trail back down.
