The worst ski rent service I've ever seen. They have infinite queues taking 10+ minutes to serve each person. They don't have snowboarding shoes of my size left. They can't change your helmet if it's too small. Definitely not recommend, go ski somewhere else.
It is a nice resort and mountain, but they care more about wrongfully taking money from guests than they care about doing the right thing. I brought my wife and son for their first day of snowboarding and asked for 3 day passes. The rep told me that our 8-year old son only needed the 5k dram magic carpet pass, but failed to mention that the same was true of my wife. Great. I bought them both first-day lessons. Great. But knowing that my wife was also a first-day snowboarder, she allowed me to purchase a 20k dram day pass that was unnecessary, as there was no way she would ever be able to ride the lift that day.
OK, my mistake. I returned to the ticket office and explained the mistake. I simply needed to exchange the full day pass for another magic carpet pass. The reps were nice and called their boss to get permission. But when the manager got there, she smugly said "we cannot do this - no refunds on any purchased passes under any circumstances." So then I said "No worries, you can see that I was incorrectly sold a full day pass for a first-day boarder and that this pass has only been used for the lesson I bought her, never to ride the lift. So just sell me a daypass for 5k drams for my next time and then there's no need for a refund. "No, I will not do that." End of story. So they took an extra 15k drams, or about $38 from me for a service they knew I didn't and couldn't use. They took it just because they already had my money and knew I couldn't get it back. This is a short-sighted philosophy that builds ill-will instead of goodwill and I think it sucks. Nevertheless, I will return there because the rest of our experience was positive - good food, good service, great lift, nice people, and decent runs considering only one operational lift.
We were in a good mood.
Convenient parking, clean.
The two funiculars are perfectly spaced apart. We went up in cabins, comfortable, excellent view,
At the top there is a stunning view of Ararat and Aragats. There is a cafe.
A new ski resort in Armenia! Ski school, professional instructors, three restaurants, high-level service!
Not everything has been built yet and not all the tracks are open, but this is a great alternative to Tsakhkadzor.
You can have a good weekend for more than one!
We are waiting for more snow, but this question is more about the weather conditions)))
Հավես տեղ🤩.. It is a place where winter pleasures meet with magnificent landscapes. Skiing and then climbing to the top of the mountain to enjoy a delicious hot tea is a truly unforgettable experience. Only this view is worth visiting this place.🇦🇲🇦🇲
It's a good place, but it's still in its infancy. The road is a horror (it's good that the parking was done, last year there was a mess of land) houses for rent are more expensive than in Europe 5-star hotels (although it was New Year's holidays) you need to show documents for a child to buy a ski pass (which shows that there are no 18 there) - this is the first time I've seen this! Before you start riding, you need to overcome those and prove to yourself that you came to ride, but then everything gets better, the cable cars are fast and convenient, there are only a few trails (the upper one is not open on January 3, 2025), but everything is very decent, definitely wins from Tsakhadzor in this regard. Nutrition is a separate topic:) The bartenders don't take orders at the bar. You have to go around the counter to the cash register to make an order, pay, and only then receive the order... (well, at least that's what I was told) I've never seen such a principle of operation anywhere.. It's a good thing they didn't tell you to make and bring the order yourself. In general, the place is good, but there is definitely room to grow!
I enjoyed riding here, very comfortable cable car, free Parking. Unfortunately, there are only two tracks. But if you believe the information on the website, in the future there will be more trails, and the number of lifts will increase to 17. Separately, it is necessary to note the majestic view of Mount Aragats
Great snow + 85 snow cannons.New snow trucks.A good freeride is in the morning.Lots of sun.An expensive restaurant with Moscow prices.Dirty parking and a construction site around.Blue-green highways, as in Kirovsk in the Southern sector.The plans include casinos and hotels.You need to live in Yerevan.
The place is great. A new and well maintained ski resort. There is little snow at the beginning of January, but it is everywhere now. The main thing is that there are few people. There are no queues for the elevator.

Atmospheric, cozy, beautiful. There are instructors, there is a training track, there are good long tracks. Boots, skis, gloves, masks, sticks, helmets are available for rent. There are a lot of people, I had to stand in line for two hours for equipment, but it didn't spoil the mood. The restaurant is open, there are warm clean dumplings. If you have your own gear, then you can buy a skipass online. We took an instructor for three for two hours, it turned out 42,000 drams. And another 15,000 ski passes to the training track for three for the whole day. Standard class equipment (boots, skis, poles, mask) it costs 8500 drams. One ascent to the main routes, if I'm not mistaken, 3500, was not taken. Great, I liked everything.
The queue for rent on the weekend is 2-2.5 hours. Either come with your own, or to Tsakhkadzor. The problem is systemic, there's not enough equipment for everyone, and that's why there's a queue.
The complex is still being formed, only one queue has been launched., everything is new, a structural approach to the project is visible. But at this stage of development, prices can be made lower., dear skipass., for such a number of trails it is expensive
The slopes are excellent, for every taste. But the registration for receiving the inventory is delayed. All inventory is new. If you arrive at the opening, you will get to the slope faster.
Был там все работающие дни в первом сезоне. Это очень крутое место... Будет... Пока там так себе, но трассы классные и фрирайд интересный, надеюсь будет круто.
1. Excellent lift
2. Good trails
Among the disadvantages: a dangerous road from the exit to the place (there was a lot of ice, 4 accidents). Take your time.
We arrived on the mountain on Saturday for the opening, but the slopes were not ready ((there is not enough snow on the slopes, the information on the site is not updated, you can only navigate on Instagram according to the work of the trails. The road to the resort after turning off the main highway is not very good, if you take a taxi back there is a chance that you will have to hitch a ride, because there are no taxis in the area.
Первый раз в Армении. Катали в Цахкадзоре. Думали, больше в Армению не поедем. Но узнали, что в выходные открыли новый курорт в тестовом режиме и решили съездить. Очень понравилось, несмотря на то, что курорт только строится. Захотелось вернуться , когда он заработает в полную силу. Чувствуется потенциал.

Amazing terrain! The resort will undoubtedly be of European level. We are looking forward to the opening of the season.
