Winter & snow

How this journey feels
YerevanTsaghkadzorAparanLake Sevan
Who this suitsSkiers and snowboarders of any level — and companions who prefer the spa, the sledge and the mulled wine.
Airport pick-up and straight to Tsaghkadzor, an hour away. Gear fitting in the afternoon, first ride up the ropeway for the sunset over the valley.
A full day on the classic runs — instructor for beginners, off-piste guiding for the confident. Kecharis monastery and mulled wine when legs give out.
Morning on the snow, afternoon in the pool and sauna. Companions who do not ski get a snowshoe walk in the Kecharis forest.
Over to Aparan and up the Myler lifts — 18 km of wide, quiet pistes up to 2,825 m on the slopes of Aragats. Lavash and khorovats lunch in Aparan on the way back.
A snowmobile run through the winter meadows, then the lake: Sevanavank white and empty, fish lunch on the shore, and back to Yerevan for the evening.
A slow city morning — coffee, the Vernissage market, maybe the khash experience if it is a weekend — and the airport transfer.
