Notes
- If you intend to go as high as the summit, ie 5671 meters and descend down by ski from the peak, you should be very strong skier and experienced climber too.
- South route is the best route to ascend Damavand either on ski or on feet, and the best starting point is Camp1 Polour Hut. Other sides are more difficult and dangerous in winter.
- Remember there is no gondola, cable car, telecabin or chair lift in this resort, so you should ascend on feet or on ski.
