Tochal Ski Resort

Tehran is located alongside a four-thousand-meter mountain range. Tochal sits on the slopes of Alborz Mountain range, with its southern foothill overlooking Tehran. Literally, Tochal means a small lake or a well full of water, as it is located near a lake. This place is locally famous for skiing in winter, and hiking in warmer seasons. It is hypnotically beautiful in summer, where green planes make walking, hiking and strolling an enjoyable activity of the day. Also, some international snowboarding competitions are held here in winter. Key to the area’s appeal is its fantastic amusement facilities like Tochal hotel, telecabin, skiing club, zip line club, bungee jumping and archery club. Via its 7500 m gondola lift line (one of the longest in the world), you can reach the altitude of 3740 m in the last station and sit in the lobby of the hotel overlooking the snow-laden Mount. Tochal (touchal) has turned into a pop resort for skiing and other similar activities, since the route and its gentle slopes make this sport a lot of fun, without the danger of being hurt. Furthermore, sufficient ski equipment is available there.
