Activities in Tehran

  1. Dizin Resort

    The largest field in Iran and home to Iranian skiing, Dizin Resort, The runs aren’t difficult. Still, with a vertical drop of about 900m it should appeal to anyone feeling the need for speed. With base camp at about 2700m and the upper slopes about 3500m, skiing is usually possible from December until April. From the base, you take an antique-looking gondola to the mid-station, and another to the top. A third gondola ferries you to the eastern slopes.
