Hiking in Armenia
Armenia for the active and adventurous. Accompanied by adventure guides, explore caves and remote wilderness, experience culture and traditions of this little-known country off the beaten path.
Walking conditions
Trails are almost always good though we occasionally come across rough sections in mountains and valleys. Climbing to mountain peaks is optional. Technical experience is not a must. Normally we will walk between 4 to 6 hours per day. Walking during the first day of the hike should provide adequate acclimatization for higher altitudes.
Grading A (moderate).
Involves some longer walks generally at law altitudes below 2,500 m. The only exception is the Southern summit of Mount Aragats (3,878m). The tour is designed within the capabilities of those with normal physical fitness, but previous walking experience would be beneficial.

We choose facilities that combine high level of comfort and service with unique design and appreciation of the natural beauty of a region. The emphasis is on location, practicality and reasonable degree of comfort. Furthermore, our close relationship with leading hotels allows us to offer you special rates and upgrades.
