Upon your arrival at the airport, your driver will be waiting to warmly welcome you and provide a comfortable transfer to the Razzazz Hotel in Tehran. We will facilitate the provision of a SIM card and offer you an option to exchange currency, as it’s important to note that international credit and bank cards are not widely accepted in Iran. If you arrive early, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to either relax or start exploring the vibrant energy of Tehran at your own pace or with our guide. In the evening, a traditional Iranian dinner awaits you and the group, offering a taste of the country’s rich culinary heritage.
After a hearty Iranian breakfast, it’s time to ski. We’ll take you to Dizin ski resort early in the morning. If you have your own ski equipment, you can directly access the slopes with your pass. Otherwise, equipment rental is available at the resort, though the quality might differ from what you’re used to in the Alps.
At the end of your ski day, return to your nearby hotel room to relax. Once refreshed, dinner will be served.
The next morning, after breakfast, you can enjoy another day at Dizin ski resort. After three days of skiing, we’ll transport you back to Tehran for dinner and a good night of sleep. Our skiing journey continues, so stay tuned!
You won’t need your skis today. In the morning, you’ll be guided through Tehran, exploring the bustling bazaar and the city’s top highlights. After the city tour, we’ll ensure you’re promptly transported to the airport, ready for your flight home or to your next destination.

When going on a winter sports trip, it’s important to bring appropriate gear to ensure your safety and comfort. Here are some essential items to consider packing:
Remember, always check the weather forecast and trail conditions before heading out, and follow all safety guidelines and rules of the resort or mountain.
When it comes to ski and snowboard rentals, there is a noticeable variation in quality. However, none of the options can compare to the high standards found in modern European ski resorts. While the equipment may be slightly older, it is generally well-maintained.
It is important to carefully consider the ski materials offered by rental shops, and don’t be afraid to request alternative options. It is always better to speak up and ensure that you are comfortable with the gear you will be using.
If you happen to own your own equipment, it is highly recommended that you bring it with you. This will guarantee that you are using gear that you are familiar with and have tested before.
