Iran | Skiing near Tehran, Shemshak Ski Resort

The first choice for Chinese people to ski abroad is almost always Switzerland. In fact, many ski resorts in Iran are no less than those in Switzerland, and the relatively low cost makes them very popular with foreigners. - 🏔️Ski Resort Introduction: Shemshak Ski Resort is the second largest ski resort in Iran, located 60 km from downtown Tehran. The highest point of the ski resort is 3,050 m, with a vertical height of about 500 m. If you are brave enough, you can try the 45-degree slope in the ski resort, which is definitely exciting. Shemshak Ski Resort is mainly for advanced skiers, with a slope of more than 40% and many moguls, making it a paradise for professionals. The ski resort has professional instructors and standard beginner slopes, making it very suitable for beginners. - 🎿About Equipment: To be honest, it is quite troublesome to bring your own equipment when skiing abroad. If you want to save trouble, you can also rent equipment at the ski resort, which is very convenient and not expensive. - ☕️Ski Resort Facilities: In addition to ski equipment rental, there are cafes, hot drink shops, snack shops, etc., which are places where skiers can get energy replenishment and rest at any time. - 🏨Accommodation Recommendation: We booked a hotel near Shemshak Ski Resort. From the entrance of the ski resort, drive down the mountain for about ten minutes. The hotel is on a slope, with a European-style castle design, and feels more like a warm homestay. This is a four-star ski hotel, also called "Shemshak Ski Hotel". The hotel rooms are not large, but the facilities are very complete, with wardrobes, balconies, and heating (the bathroom is relatively large, with separate wet and dry areas, and all the toiletries are very complete). - 🍴Dining Recommendation: There are many restaurants near the ski resort. In Iran, beef, lamb, and chicken are the main dishes. In addition, rice is basically baked, and local restaurants like to put some saffron in the rice. When eating, the outer layer of the rice is crispy, like rice crust, while the inside is relatively soft, which is very unique.
