Looking good, freedom. :cool: Thanks for sharing the pictures mate.

How can I go to this one, who can help me reaching the resort i i'd decide to visit it? and best time to visit?

Mohammad; Ur welcome :)

Moody; I found this:


Shemshak, Iran

Getting There: Shemshak is located in the Alborz mountains north of Tehran. Driving time is about 2.5 hours from the capital city. The road to Shemshak is of a very good quality but four wheel drive or chains are required for the last 10 or 12 km ( 6 or 7 miles) when there's snow - which is frequently the case.

GoSki resort editor Patrick Thorne :
If you'd never heard of skiing in Iran, then how about night skiing in Iran. A bit spooky for the terminally paranoid… but the Iranian people are in fact almost universally friendly and welcoming, a lot more so than your average European. :cool:


Shemshak (or Shem Shak, depending on which map you're looking at) is one of the most challenging ski areas in Iran, with lifts up to 1450 metres in length. It is the second largest ski area in the country after Dizin and prides itself on catering to more advanced skiers with challenging mogul fields and very steep slopes of up to 45 degrees.

If you like to ski through light powder snow at altitudes of 2250 to 3000 metres over vertical descents of 500 metres (1700 feet) plus then Shemshak is for you. It's also in the neighbourhood of the smaller area of Darband Sar, (equipped with one double-chair lift and two beginners lifts) also a little way north of the noisy industrial capital Tehran. Shemshak itself is equipped with two double- chair lifts and four ski lifts.

There are two hotels in the area. And if you enjoy night skiing, you can buy a ticket for about 5 USD and ski from 7 p.m to 12 midnight on a floodlit slope!


Vertical Drop: 500m/1,640'
Top Elevation: 3,000m/9,840'
Lifts: 6
Snowboards: Yes

Tourist Office: +98 (21) 276701
So u can contact them...
