Nestled in the very heart of Armenia, just 60 kilometers from Yerevan and soaring 1845 meters above sea level, lies Tsaghkadzor – a modern ski paradise and one of the nation's most breathtaking retreats. Its name, meaning "Valley of Flowers", feels like a poetic promise that nature has kept in full: in summer, emerald slopes ripple with wild blooms, while winter cloaks the peaks in a dazzling gown of snow and ice.

2. Kecharis Monastery

In the northwestern part of Tsaghkadzor, embraced by mountain peaks and evergreen forests, stands Kecharis Monastery – a spiritual treasure of medieval Armenia. Its origins date back to the 11th-13th centuries, when this grand complex rose in the mountains as a beacon of faith and learning. The ensemble includes four churches and two narthexes, each bearing the mark of centuries and the craftsmanship of master builders. One of the narthexes became the resting place of Magistros Grigor Pahlavuni – the distinguished statesman and founder of the monastery, whose name remains etched in Armenian history.

In the heart of Tsaghkadzor, the jewel of Armenia's mountain resorts, stretches a cableway that has become both a landmark of leisure and a gateway to adventure. Running along the eastern slope of Mount Teghenis, it links five stations and gives access to more than a dozen ski trails of varying levels. Its story began in 1967, when the first lifts started carrying visitors and athletes toward the snowy heights.

Брала для мамы туры в Цахкадзор (23.04) и в Гарни (24.04). Оба раза она приезжала очень впечатлённая как самими достопримечательностями и видами, так и профессионализмом экскурсоводов и их любовью к Армении.
Спасибо, благодаря вам я смогла показать маме много прекрасного!

Очень понравилась экскурсия по маршруту Ереван - Цахкадзор - Севан - Ереван.
И конечно очаровательная Лиана - наш экскурсовод. На протяжении всей экскурсии она рассказывала о всех достопримечательностях, а их немало: монастырский комплекс Кечарис (состоит из четырех церквей XI—XIII века, двух часовен, гавита, а также древнего кладбища с хачкарами XII—XIII веков), самое большое озеро Кавказа, расположенное на высоте 1900 метров, монастырь Севанаванк 874 года постройки. Экскурсия заняла 8 часов, на озере Севан был перерыв на обед (стоимость от 2.5 до 4.5 тысяч драм). Водитель Армен на комфортабельном автобусе возил нас по всему маршруту.
Экскурсия очень понравилась, рекомендую к посещению!
