Description

This trail is located on the slopes of the Mount Aragats. The route is covered with tough snow. The winter season is great for a ski mountaineering tour. In the gorges, skiers can find fresh powder.

On the way skiers, may visit Ohanavank (monastery constructed 5-13 centuries) that is situated in Ohanavan and was considered as a favorite educational center for all Armenians. The next beautiful monument is Saghmosavank (a monastery constructed in 13th century) in Saghmosavan village which is a very unique monastery complex. Another favorite destination is the alphabet boulevard located on the slopes of the Mount Aragats where all the Armenian letters are engraved.
