Snowmobiling at Tsaghkadzor

Kotayk

A 1-hour snowmobile ride races across Tsaghkadzor's snowy slopes, an alternative way to experience the resort's winter landscape beyond skiing or the chairlift. Available December through March from 15,000 AMD, no prior experience is needed.

Adventure

Ziplining over Tsaghkadzor

Kotayk

A zipline ride here sends you over the rooftops and forests of Tsaghkadzor from a height that turns the town into a scenic backdrop rather than a place you're walking through. The 30-minute activity costs from 8,000 AMD and runs May through October, a quick adrenaline stop for visitors already in the resort town.

Adventure

Tsaghkadzor ropeway (cable car) ride

Kotayk

The Tsaghkadzor chairlift climbs to 2,819 meters, giving a 1-hour round trip with sweeping views over the surrounding mountains that don't require any skiing to enjoy. Available year-round from 3,000 AMD, it works equally well in summer for hikers and sightseers as it does in winter for skiers heading up the slopes.

Adventure

Skiing / snowboarding at Tsaghkadzor

Kotayk

Tsaghkadzor is Armenia's largest ski resort, spread across the slopes of Mount Tanegizon with runs suited to a range of abilities. A half-day session costs from 7,000 AMD and runs December through March, making it the country's default winter-sports destination for both skiing and snowboarding.

Food

Traditional gata / cooking class

Gegharkunik

A local host teaches visitors to bake gata, Armenia's traditional sweet pastry, alongside other regional dishes in a hands-on 2-hour class. Available year-round from 10,000 AMD, it's a practical way to take home a skill rather than just a memory of the region's food.

Food

Gastronomic experience at Tsaghkunk village

Gegharkunik

In the village of Tsaghkunk, a 3-hour farm-to-table gastronomy experience brings local, seasonal ingredients to the table in a village setting away from the lake's tourist strip. Available year-round from 12,000 AMD, it's a good way to see a quieter side of Gegharkunik life beyond the beaches.

Food

Grilled crayfish tasting

Gegharkunik

Grilled crayfish kebabs are a Sevan specialty, and a 1-hour tasting at a local eatery is a quick, distinctive addition to a visit built around the lake. Available June through October from 5,000 AMD, it's an easy pairing with the ishkhan trout meal for a fuller taste of Sevan's food culture.

Food

Ishkhan (Sevan trout) BBQ lakeside meal

Gegharkunik

A lakeside restaurant meal centered on grilled ishkhan, Sevan's endemic trout, is one of the region's signature food experiences, best enjoyed with a view of the water it came from. Available year-round from 6,000 AMD, a 90-minute meal here rounds out a day spent on or around the lake.
