world reviewer
The ski resort of Dizin is located two hours north of Tehran in the Alborz mountain range. Surprisingly, it is one of the highest ski resorts in the world with the highest lift reaching 3,600m. It is recognised as a centre for international competitions thanks to its long course slopes, great recreational facilities, high altitude, excellent snow and long season (usually November to May). Most of the slopes are for beginner or intermediate skiers but there are opportunities for the more advanced skier.
There are various facilities nearby including two hotels, 19 cottages, and 5 restaurants. The accommodation facilities are plentiful and thousands of people choose to stay in villas. The proximity of Iran's capital means that you don't have to stay on site. Iran travelling centre offers great package deals for a variety of tastes.
