Iran is a very mountainous country, so there are countless opportunities for interesting tourism. The best accessible for hiking is the Elborz Mountains, where it is possible to undertake tours of all difficulties. The disadvantage is the great heat that prevails here for most of the year and also the fact that many interesting mountains are not easily accessible.

Most often visited region by hikers is around Damavand volcano, there are also huts on normal ascent route. Also Sabalan area is accessible by hiking trails. Good starting point for hikes and ski resorts near Tehran.

Practically, there is not proper maps of individual mountains and marking hiking trails.

One day Hikes

If you like day trips, the ideal is to go from Tehran to the renowned ski resorts in Elborz. You will go relatively high by car and you can conquer local 4-thousanders during one day.
