Mount Damavand is the highest resort in middle-east for wild ski and snowboarding. Due to vicinity of Caspian Sea, there are heavy snowfalls in this snow field in autumn, winter and spring.
The south face is the best route for ski touring, it has a mild slope for ascending up to 5000 meters and after that it gets steeper. Ski is more difficult on other faces.
There is no gondola, car cable, telecabin or mechanical lift in this resort so you should ascend on feet or on ski to the camps and the summit. It is possible to ski in winter and spring.
Damavand Mountain in Winter
Depending to the weather, the amount of snow is different each year, the ski season may starts from November or December and last untill mid May, tours generally go in March & April, it is highly recommended to check the snow condition in advance and before you fix your program and travelling to the area.
GPS Track
This GPS track file is ideal for ski mountaineers and snowboard lovers to enjoy about 3000 meters long distance and 1400 meters vertical drop during winter and go down from the Damavand peak to campsite3.
It is the best descend trail of the south face and a good downhill track for wild ski mountaineering and freestyle snowboarding to avoid rocky parts, suitable when the valleys are covered with ice and snow.
This descend route is located between summit 5671m and the Camp3 New Hut 4250m, the covered area is without guideposts, but in good visibility you can find your way easily.
Please remember this track is slightly different from ascend.
