Discover the Legendary Damavand

This trip is ideal for the ambitious mountaineer but also for the less demanding mountain enthusiast. With a height of over 5609 m, Mount Damavand is a magnet of the Iranian landscape and all of Asia. The volcanic peak at its top still smokes lightly and it tells its story quietly and magnificently. The name Damavand literally means the steam-preserved mountain in Persian and it has been the source of many myths in Persian literature and Iranian tales since earlier times. Your relatively short journey begins in Tehran, continues to the mountain, which is climbed in stages. Each stage of the journey offers a completely different side of the myth-laden mountain.

You start your journey in Tehran. Then continue to Rineh, a small village on the edge of the Alborz Mountains. Then you start with the ascent of the mountain. Each stage offers its own natural landscape, on the lower slopes you have flatter landscapes and in good weather conditions you can even discover the capital Tehran on the horizon at the top.
